thinking of getting one for my roadie for the winter months. Anyone using them, what do you think of them.
You mean fibre flare? if so yeah they’re OK but I tend to prefer a very bright red blinky or two.
If you must have one don’t get a stupid colour like blue.
I have one on the rear of my commuter, super bright and fits nicely/easily on the bike. Good purchase.
I used to have one, rubber straps eventually snapped & I just got some of those super bright LED ones after that.
I found that I always let them get way to dim as I always forgot to get new batteries.
The miss’s and I both run em’ (rears) and I rate em’. Pretty good battery life, REALLY bright and little people can use them as light sabers.
cheers guys, sounds like a winner to me
Not really. I bought one three years ago, it lasted 12 months until the ladder elastic broke, I managed to mcguyver it for another 4 months until the circuitry gave up and it was a hit-and miss affair whether it’s going to light up or not. Bought myself two Knog USB blinders instead. No complaints so far.
I dont own one but have ridden behind them.
They tend to glow pretty well but don’t have that hey look out for me of a flashing led
My first one broke after a month, wouldn’t turn on after a heavy downpour and getting lost and riding around in it for a two hours. My second one also broke after a year. First the rubber, and sometimes it turns on, sometimes it doesn’t.
I think the new “Thunderbolts” from Serfas are better, they are USB rechargeable, which I don’t think the fibre flares are.
