hugh.:
I've been thinking of grabbing a Fairdale Goodship. Anyone tried one/ know who stocks them in the UK?

medusa.cascade:
do any racks fit or do i need a 'disc specific' rack?

i think i was a bit naieve to think i could get decent lights for £35 so will have to up my budget.
what is the minimum lumens you guys would recommend for riding at night on unlit roads, which are usb rechargeable and last for around 2 hours? i have seen ones on ebay/amazon going for a reasonable amount but i'm not sure how long they would last.

i also dont believe that cheap waterproof pannier exist which is a pain.

I paid about that for both my Knog Blinder 4's and my Lezyne Hecto drives, but they were both bargains that I spotted at the time. Just trawl Wiggle and ebay etc..

knog blinder 4's are surprisingly good, i use those and lezyne micro drives and find the knogs better. the lezynes suffer from shit battery and QC, but last long enough for my commutes (and i got them dirt cheap) that i'm not really bothered.
