I have a Raleigh rear one again quite cheap. A moon front and back,nsomewhere that are tiny but bright and different holes dependent on handlebar diameter. Skullys are my favourites but they do not recharge. Had one on today in heavy fog at Carnwath </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202123 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 14:30:34 +0000 DaveC 202123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is something about the name which hacks me off a little. Why would you want to Blind anyone coming towards you? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202121 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 14:21:54 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 202121@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a Lezyne Micro Drive that is pretty damned good.</p> <p>Though I really must wire my dynamo lights back up... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202119 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:33:51 +0000 CycleCommute.CC 202119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I also had the blinder front but it snapped after one winter of use. Bought it from amazon and emailed to try and get replaced but they would not do it.</p> <p>Recently got some Lezyne KTV front and back lights. Similar to the Knog but the attachment seems better. maybe not quite so bright but I am getting roughly 10 hours use from them at the moment. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202117 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:18:31 +0000 Neil 202117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I unfortunately chucked the broken light in the bin! Daft, with hindsight...</p> <p>@broony84 good idea!</p> <p>@stickman I have the Blinder Road 4 rear light....fantastic light! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202116 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:13:51 +0000 Broony84 202116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah. Email knog and they will likely send you a replacement light. I have done it twice now (once for strap breaking and once for faceplate cracking) Also managed to attach one of the silicone o-ring things to my new set to extend the length of the strap and it works a treat </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202114 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:08:45 +0000 Stickman 202114@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a couple of Knog blinders (front) and also one of the Blinder Road rear lights. I really like them, but one of the front lights no longer holds charge for any time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202113 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:06:35 +0000 paddyirish 202113@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Try sending the silicone back to Knog- I have read somewhere (maybe here) that a replacement may come your way...</p> <p>I have had a couple of knog lights and I think they are a nice idea but they don't seem to last. Can't remember what the wee one is called, but it will only charge in the usb port if I hold it in place :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15617#post-202105 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 12:09:38 +0000 Neil 202105@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had the Knog Blinder1 and it was perfect apart from the fact that I guess my bars were too thick for it and the silicon snapped overnight. Centre section is 31.8mm.</p> <p>What I liked- cheap enough to leave on the bike and not care about, brightness perfect to be seen in the city, decent enough battery life and usb rechargeable.</p> <p>Anything else that fits the bill? </p>
