After charging for 2 hours, the tail light can work for 25—50 hours in different modes. Please charge in time when the power is low.

I like this light as it acts like a brake light when stopping even in the daytime. Every little advantage to help me keep safe on the roads I’m all for.

Even though the legend has a dynamo lights it’s always good to have a little backup. Especially seeing the wiring on the legend has been playing up lately to the rear brake lights. (Got a replacement on order)

Review: Ergon GA3 Grips Mellow Yellow

Thanks to Brilliant Bikes we have our first upgrade to the Brompton BumbleBee Special Edition affectionately known as “N+1”

ERGON GA3 Handlebar Grips - Large - Yellow mellow

The ergonomic shape fits the contours of the hand and significantly reduced arm pump on long trails whilst the wing provides support to ensure the correct hand position preventing aches and pains.

• Carbon friendly CNC Aluminium clamps

• Replaceable bar end plugs

• Weigh approx 135g per pair

Super soft rubber compound for outstanding grip 

Increased contact face for optimised hand position to reduce aches

Uses: Trail riding, cross country, MTB-touring

Lock on clamp made from forged aluminium / CNC machined

I was looking to upgrade the grips for alittle while. I have to say the original Brompton grips are not to bad compared to what originally on offer when I got “The Legend” all those years ago. Just basic dripped foam which didn't last all that long from normal use.

These grips feel pretty good with a soft rubber feel and grippy. I personally always wear cycling gloves either full fingers or fingerless but to the bare hands they feel nice. Would have been perfect if the bar ends were black and yellow, which is something we will be looking out for.

 

I have to say the colour is pretty close to the Special Edition’s yellow, so wouldn’t be a good fit for “The Legend” as he is a much lighter shade of yellow.
