Yep. Still got one from my original batch some 3+ years ago, although the other one from that batch broke when its cable got wrapped around the spokes and yanked off.
3 more from my batch of about 2 years ago are still going strong. I have started using them again and am getting at least 4 hours from a charge (basically it hasn't run out yet) on low. High beam is a bit offensive for oncoming traffic.

Another call to Planet X this morning. Although their product is excellent value, their customer service isn't very good. Apparently my buying the frame through their ebay shop and then buying the crankset and the stem over the phone is causing lots of confusion
Wiggle can ship £50 orders in one day, yet Planet X struggle with orders of £600! I bought some wheels form lasty year and that took three weeks to and that was a product that was supposedly in stock!
Rant over.
I'm hoping this isn't their usual performance. Ordered a PlanetX N2A from them on Monday and their estimated build date is 21 days time. How long can it take to build a bike?

Excellent!
Can't decide which ones they are on eBay that everyone got, as they've got 4 LED versions now.. But I'm sure these are a bit extreme?
Mine are the single "original" LED type. As I have to use them on low most of the time, I'd suggest multi-LED ones are not worth it, not least because of the reduction in usable time between charges.Can't decide which ones they are on eBay that everyone got, as they've got 4 LED versions now..

Acording to this morning's email my Endura 8 Panel Xtract Gel Bibshort will be delivered between 14:34 and 15:34, very precise.
Ready for my next century ride on Sunday.

On the subject of lights I got fed up with the trailing wires & need to stash or hang the battery of the Chinese varieties. Bought a box and bar mount to self-contain my X2. Works better than it looks [who cares in the dark anyway ], can turn the lamp unit left and right too for dipping/centering.

Er, what is it?
When you take your back wheel off you attach that to the drop out so the chain can run on it and not across your chain stay. Just means I can clean the chain or spin the cranks while the wheel is off and the bike up on the stand.
