Re: 760's were good, steel axles, proper sized ball bearings and all that. I have a set so can confirm this. 770 is where they switched to larger aluminium axles and thus smaller ball bearings. You can clearly see the difference between the steel and aluminium axles if you look at images of...

Re: I thought about starting a petition to allow TT bikes to use motorways on Sundays between 10am and 4pm. If you think this is inappropriate please do let me know........what hours would you choose???

The problem is that the size of the reflector in relation to the size of the emitter has a large bearing on the amount of throw or flood the light has. Smaller emitter and larger reflector will give more throw. The XML emitter is quite large and the single XML emitter chinese lights have a...

How long have they been there??? I thought that up until a few years these lights came with Cree LEDs, just not the top bins as claimed. Probably the bins that no one wanted and Cree couldn't get rid of. But these days, despite the claims, it seems they are using inferior copies of Cree LEDs...
