Yeah, a crowd of us that go riding together all have them (Xmas pressies). The LED unit in mine failed after a while but I managed to find one in another wee light and replaced it. Fine as a "get you home" taillight, especially as it waggles about a bit when pedalling.

Works but not bright now. When new it was great but it got rattled about a fair bit and now has a very low glow rather than very bright.
Shame as it was very noticeable as it swayed as you rode the bike.

Yeah, one of the lads I ride with has one. Not bright enough to distract you when following him, just a soft glow.
Saw them for sale on a German site the other day, will see if I can find them.

I got three one Christmas a few years back. It was the “we saw this and thought of you” comment from all of them that got me a bit worried/proud.

One of the sons of a club member got given a mystery wrapped up prize after our boxing day '10 Christmas just gone. He's 7 years old or thereabouts. When he unwrapped one of those I thought the club Chairman was going to puke he was laughing so hard.

I must ask his mum if it's on his bike next time I see her.

Are they the brand Hornit bases in Exeter.

If so, I have one of their very compact bike stands the CLUG.

It’s the MTB version just do not expect to fit 2.35” Maxxis tyres in.

Decent product at a sensible price.
