Blackburn MTN 1

Advantages: Gives you the optimism required to win the world cup
Disadvantages: Doesn't actually make you win the world cup

...Well, after a slightly dissapointing England world cup campaign, from Waynes dodgy start to Owens dodgy end, what does this shirt actually do. I bought this item with the optimism of the rest of England, however, i cant help notice how much of a walking advertisement i had become. Umbro on my England shirt, o2 on my Arsenal shirt was it all a greatly schemed scam to appeal to the masses. My subconscious, unfortunately, thinks so. Althought the shirt does fit ever so nicely with its smooth cut and soft inner lining, not forgetting to mention the small neck collar made to make you feel extra proud and powerful. (Like a peacock) I cant help think that each and every England shirt should have at least a longer life span. I have bought this edition 1 year ago but can guarantee it will be disposed of in my wardrobe, and societies wardrobe come... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

...around your seat post, add rubber pieces which stop any movements and almost done. Next step is to screw all pieces in tidily and make sure that fitted straight and on the right angle. Do it with your lamp on it. About Blackburn Mars 3.0 has been named after a bright red planet visible from afar. It has seven superb right red LED's inside a sleek water resistant case. Lens optics increase visible distance and side LED's provide 180 degree safety-boosting visibility. Two AAA batteries should last for 50 - 150 hours on a flash mode. That information says producent and seems to be about right. I use in my lamp energizer rechargeable batteries. Some basic one you have included in the box. Whole thing is waterproof and strongly built. Since I attached it to my bike it has not sided/moved even when doing off road. The only, very small issue... Read review

Advantages: Very, very bright; Build quality
Disadvantages: Large; Ugly

...Bike lights have been coming on in leaps and bounds recently, with LEDs starting to be exploited to remarkable effect. The Blackburn have shown the benefits of that evolution to the full with their Quadrant front light. As it suggests the name Quadrant means there are four LEDs mounted in this space-age looking contraption. If I'm looking to be picky I'll list this here and now as the only drawback to the light - it's ugly, really ugly. And it's pretty big as well (it has to be, it's powered by four AA batteries), though it managed to fit in between some gear levers and a bell on the bars it was mounted on). But with that out of the way I have to move on to the extensive positives with this light. I bought it because I'd recently convinced my girlfriend to start commuting to work by bike, but the impending dark nights were... Read review
