A Magicshine MJ-880 U2 headlight. The sucker is small but it's as bright as a car's high beam. A car even highbeamed me back last night when I was out riding past dusk.

Finally got some lycra cycling shorts. Now I don't look like a total Fred when I'm riding with my group.

Being the top-shelf gear guy that I am , I bought a used set of Tektro linear brakes, off ebay, for my 27 year old mountain bike.

So far, I like it. That may not tell you much as I only used it for 20 minutes to lube the chain and install a mounting bracket for my frame pump this afternoon. It's lightweight, stable and easy to use, though.

where did you buy and how much if you don't mind sharing??..pls..never mind ..the power of google..walmart have it for 49.99
just got the Quadlock mounting kit last Friday and Im impressed so far. Ive only ridin with it for a 30 mi ride and its everything i was expecting. locking and unlocking is easy, the mount is sturdy and firm. Now i can see my Strava progress without having to pull it out of my jersey pocket everything. It came with Obands and zip ties and after feeling the tension from the obands, i put the zip ties as extra strength. heres some pics of the packaging and the mount.

Please bear with this newbie. What's the difference between 110 and 90? What do those numbers mean?
