They are very popular, Lezyne make some very good lights also.Just seems to be out of stock everywhere. I might pop into my LBS tomorrow, see what they have.
I’ve a Lezyne led front light, ridiculously bright, even on half power. Might buy one of their rears too.They are very popular, Lezyne make some very good lights also.
I use one of their power drive lights for winter riding, excellent beam pattern & charging.I’ve a Lezyne led light, ridiculously bright, even on half power. My buy one of their rears too.
Don’t forget to deflate and re-inflate after using CO2, the tyre has a habit of losing pressure.Road bike, tubeless, CO2 inflation kit, emergency inner tube, then what?
Do you take a mini pump on longer rides just in case? Do you go commando and not bother with anything? Tubeless repair kit?
Just trying to get my head around what I need.
Very real, tweeted by Suffolk highways this morning.That looks like a DIY job, not real surely?

I've got tubeless compatible wheels but haven't felt a need to go tubeless yet - it's a bit of a "solution without a problem" for me.
Riding my mtb on the road when Covid struck I was getting punctures too often, so when I decided to buy a road bike, it was an easy decision for me to ask the shop to turn it tubeless.
I had a nice trundle round the Pentlands on the Enduro tonight. No wind which was nice, however that meant lots of midges - which was less nice!
I think you said higher up the thread Steve, just remind us where you live please, it looks a lovely area
Interesting chat about ride position and hand (dis)comfort. I'll be on my bike tomorrow and will give it some thought.
I am exceptionally fortunate to live in Balerno, which is on the very edge of Edinburgh as well as being the best access point for the Pentland Hills. It's about a mile or so of climbing (which can be done off-road as I did tonight) to get into the hills from my door, and there are then loads of routes. Can't complain!
