Very bright lights

When I say bright I mean exactly that!!  900 lumens to be precise!
If you like the idea of mountain biking at night (at this time of year there aint much option!) but cant make yourself spend the £200 to £300 it seems to take to get good lights, then check out this.....

I recently bought this 900 lumen light (Magicshine mj-808) that can be mounted on a helmet, handle bar or can even be used as a traditional head torch.  The whole package cost me well under £100.  If that sounds a lot then have a look on a well known 'Edinburgh' bike shops website and you'll see a 700 lumen light for £299...
There is also the option of a 1400 lumen light for under £100 too!  I bought the 900 lumen so I can use it for running.
My plan is to buy two of these then it'll all be AWESOME..

You can buy from the first link for about £85 and get them in a couple of days or you can buy them considerably cheaper from the second link, but will have to wait a few weeks for delivery.

GoPro LCD BacPac


Not posted anything in a while – however this is quite exciting!

A screen for the Go Pro camera is everything it was missing. Having mucked up some mountain bike footage at the weekend cos I couldn’t see what I was filming, this will solve all those badly framed shots – well hopefully!
Not available here yet – hopefully sometime soon though.

Cant wait!
