Halo Excite D Rear Wheel

Advantages: Light, strong, durable, relatively cheap, looks great
Disadvantages: None

...Awesome rear hub for the money. Made from 1 piece heat treated, forged 6061 aluminium and it runs on smooth, double lip sealed cartridge bearings. The hub has an international 6 bolt mounting. It is fairly light at 385g due to lots of weight saving holes in the flanges, although these do not affect the strength. The hub is fitted with a 3 pawl ratchet and steel freehub ensuring reliability and durability. The finish is either black or silver and has lazer etched graphics so they wont wear off easily, and they look smart. I have used one of these hubs for nearly two years now for street, downhill and commuting. I have never had a single problem with the hub, it has run smooth as silk from the day it was bought and has been used on an almost daily basis in all conditions with no maintenance whatsoever. If built correctly it will produce... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper than the market leader
Disadvantages: Doesn't fold so well

..." seems to be the bottom limit for these things. As I said before fitting a rear light could be problematical since most seem to have standardised on a tube clip for a fixture. When fitting a front light to the handle bars, check it for clearance when folded - it may foul the wheel spokes or the ground and end up with a heavily scratched lens Tool-wise, there's very little need for any except the correct sized spanner to remove the wheel nuts, plus whatever else you carry to repair punctures 'on the hoof'. Personally, I'd take a new inner tube and non-metal tyre levers and leave it at that. Repairs are much better done at home at your leisure where you can get the offending tube to a sink to check for leaks. Yes, where are the 'nearby puddles' or duck ponds when you need one? There are two plugged-up holes in the main frame which... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

...In the beginning of my review I need to say: if you, member of your family or a best friend have a bicycle then strongly recommend this rear light as it is mentally bright. Does the job brilliantly and bicycle you will attach it to should be definitely safe. I have got this light myself and am extremely pleased. It's been already over one year since I bought it from Chain Reaction Cycle website for £12 and have not had any accidents at night. Before that, it got used to happen as I leave in London where traffic is quite heave and you never now who is driving behind you. Installation There is a manual attached to this product and is very easy to read. Every single detail how to fit it is described. Attachment itself should not take you longer then 10 minutes. All you have to do is to unpack everything from box, stretch a clamp... Read review
