Re: Bargain Alert Thread

Personally I found route planning difficult on it (phone), jumping from a road, to a bridleway to a footpath seemed awkward but maybe that’s me. Setting it to record a ride was straight forward though but guess if you like strava, then keep that and save yourself £20 Am not sure route planning is a...

Daft question: is Komoot worth it? Have been trying to use Strava and TrailFinder for trail discovery and neither are quite what I'm looking for.

it's a fool's saving if I don't - £50 vs 50% more lumens - 'cheap' at the extra price.
Turns out you can get a Toro @ Wiggle for £268 (vs. £305 elsewhere) so it's really just over a tenner more... :shock:

Wouldn't running the two together be a bit of overkill?? Or would you need sunglasses at night :cool:

Erm.... Couldn't possibly comment :lol:

But there's also some bit of me thinking it's a fool's saving if I don't - £50 vs 50% more lumens - 'cheap' at the extra price. In for a penny, in for hundreds of pounds as they say...!!

Re: Similar to Exposure, but not... is there such a thing?

Well, have had fun with this. Bought a Moon 850, and got a Moon 950 instead. Bright in the centre but not a very wide spread. Bit the bullet and returned it and bought an Exposure Race for £250 - not available anywhere cheaper last week - and then found it for £205 on Monday. Now swithering whether ...

Re: Similar to Exposure, but not... is there such a thing?

Anyone have any thoughts on either a Hope R2 or a Moon x-pro 950/850?? Am finding web searches for mtb stuff increasingly difficult as results are full of auto-generated review 'aggregators' and am really strugging to understand what's what, what's new, what's old, what's really old, what's really r...
