Looks like a very comfy saddle to me young lady.

Tredz sorting a replacement? I wouldn't hold your breath.

Worst company every for returns and issues, I simply won't buy from them any more. I had a ceramic BB fail after three months. Filled in the form sent it back, chased, fobbed off that they never received it, I had proof of delivery and now they won' even talk to me. I've since discovered that I'm not the only to have had these problems, not by a long chalk.

Thanks for the warning! Is it the mount that had been falling off or the just the light? I have noticed that when the light is clipped into the mount, it does move slightly when touched. If it's the mount+light that's coming off then maybe I'll put a bit of threadlock onto that plastic bolt.

I think it's the mount actually braking rather than coming undone although that might be as a result of excessive movement putting extra strain on it.

Wonderful - I had an almost identical experience with Ribble earlier this year. Most annoying.

I'm not in any rush for it to be fair, as I'll likely only have 2 bikes on the go at any one time. Would be nice to get a replacement at some point though!

OK thanks. I've just wedged a small piece of paper between the light and the mount and it's now rock solid. I'll fashion a more permanent solution when I've come up with a better idea.
 
Ok, I've had a read.

Which ones can I:

- load .gpx maps other users have created?
- give turn by turn directions?
- show distance travelled, monitor speed and other interesting facts?
 
No wonder I'm knackered. Christmas shopping all day, but I've managed to cover over 40 miles on my bike and visited a total of three counties in the process! That includes the Bromley hill and twice up and down the Crystal Palace hill. Beckenham-Bromley-Beckenham-Richmond-Teddington-Clapham-Central London-Beckenham on the fixed gear. I'm going to sleep well tonight, if my knees don't explode.

Did you have a basket fixed to the handlbars for the shopping ?
