Kitvision Edge HD10 Waterproof case Detachable TFT screen Rechargeable battery and USB cable Various mounts: 2 x Flat, 2 x Curved, Mount Connector, Vertical Connector.



What gives this camera the edge (Edge get the pun) over the competition is that it comes with a wide range of essential accessories, including mounts to attach it to a board or a helmet and a detachable TFT screen so you can monitor exactly what you're filming. What's more, an included waterproof case means you can record water-based activities like scuba diving, surfing and Kayaking, the case make's the Edge waterproof down to 100m!

Easy Set Up:  Simply follow the instruction on fitting the SD Micro card (Not supplied) and charge the battery up and you are ready to go!
Be carful on removing the TFT Screen from the rear to access the rechargeable battery, I found it a bit tricky to start with as the instruction was not all that clear, but once it is sussed out and you practise the On/Off a few times it begins to sink in how easy it really is to remove.

Oi Bike Bell from Knog

Oi Bike Bell 

from Knog

Bike bells can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, I still remember the simple tin bell I had on my bike as a child, to the Hi Tec multi coloured and rubberized bells cycle shops sell today, which makes this Oi bike bell from Knog a breath of fresh air as it is a very discreet bell.
Knog sent me a Black Oi which is nothing like anything else on the market, it has a completely unique design that blends in very well with the black on my handle bars and at first look you would not even know it was bike bell!

Easy to fit.
Simply unscrew the Hexagon bolt and open the Oi casing and slide it over your bars, position the gear and brake cables as required and retighten the bolt after placement.
Knog have various designs of the Oi,  I have is the Large one, it fits size from 23.8 to 38.8mm

The designers at Knog have even thought about the placement of the brake and gear cabling on your bike and designed a neat little cable slot on the underside. So if you have any brake or gear cables in the way, simply slot the Oi around the bars to incorporate the cable run, it will also make them look much neater and  keep them safely out of the way .
Classic Oi bike bell also comes in various colours, Silver, Copper, Black, Brass.
Oi bike bells come in various sizes, so check and measure where your going to place it on your handle bars, so as to order the correct size.

If you want a Bike Bell then make it an Oi Bike Bell

It has to be the Sweetest Sounding bell noise ever.

Prices from £9.99

Ribble Cycles Oi Bike Bell

Thanks to Knog for The Best Sounding and most Uniquely designed Bike Bell I have come across in a long time.

Fits all bar sizes

          GARMIN EDGE 510/520/800/810/820 BAR MOUNT

https://www.racewaredirect.co/shop/garmin-edge-510800810-bar-mount/

RaceWare sent me a bar mount for my Garmin GPS cycle computer and its an Orange one!
You maybe thinking what’s so special about that then, well its a colour match for the Orange bar tape on my Gravel Bike and it also matches the Orange Louri Frame Strap I have on my bike.

Mount 

3D Printed Tough Nylon.

Garmin Mount.

One of many great designs and colours from RaceWare.

Made out of a 3D printed nylon which is extremely strong, it comes in various colours and sizes.
RaceWare make them in a range of colours to suit your bike frame, or in my case the orange bar tape  on my handle bars.
RaceWare have designed this particular bar mount to hold the Garmin centrally on to the handle bars just in front of the stem.
Fitting is so simple, due to the mount being able to be opened up to clamp around your bars, then simply tightening up the clamp to close.

Orange bar tape.

it will also fit any other devices that have the Garmin mount design.

Holds the Melian GPS out front.

The Orange mount matches the bar tape.

Solid construction.

Looks great on the bars.

New Proviz LED360 Canopus & Vega Bike Light Set (front & rear)

Review: Proviz Bike light set

Priced at £59.99

Proviz the company that makes the great Reflect 360 Cycling Jacket range, have now added to their range with a set of bike lights.
The LED 360 Canopus and Vega bike light set which includes front and rear lights all in one box, and looking at the specification for these lights it seems Proviz have again thought out side the box.
As featured in 'The Independent's' Top Ten Best Bike Lights for late-night visibility

Canopus and Vega in the box,
 the Light instructions, rubber strap and the USB charging cord are to be found underneath.

Instruction sheet,
USB Cable, and rear light fitting strap on the underside of the packaging. 

Proviz LED 360 Canopus specifications:
The Canopus is the front light.
Samsung make the battery that is installed in this range of lights from Proviz, so you can be sure they will be reliable, as these are from the Premium Samsung Lithium-ion rechargeable range of batteries. 


The 360 has a Low Battery indicator on the top which is incorporated into the On/Off switch.

300 Lumens of power.

With 300 Lumens of light power from the Canopus, I must admit I thought I was reviewing the Sirus model which has 600 Lumens of power, due to the way the Canopus LED light projected, this light is very Bright!
Although it has a round lens, the LED's project an oblong beam pattern, very clever and well thought out.
There are four light settings which is easily changed by using the switch on the top front of the 360 Canopus.
The light settings are as follows
High Beam
Low Beam
Pulse
SOS
There are three slots either side these will get you seen at road junctions and traffic lights etc.

Side Slots,
lets the light be seen from the sides.

The light body itself is made out of a range of materials including Aluminium, ABS (Thermoplastic Resin) along with PMMA (Acrylic) so it is strong and very light in weight, weighing in at 131g.
The Canopus comes with just one USB Charge lead, making it impossible to charge the front and rear lights at the same time. This is not a real problem, it just means you have to be organised when  recharging the lights.

USB Charge cover.

Open it up to reveal the charging point.

Plug in the cable and connect to your phone USB charger..

Fitting to your handle bars is straight forward.
The Canopus comes with a adjustable bracket, [Proviz have included two rubber strips to protect your bars from the bracket] to fit you just undo the clamp and pass it around the bars positioning it to the required angle, then insert the rubber strips top and bottom then clamp and adjust the tightness, if your using Carbon Fibre handle bars follow the guidelines for light fitting by your manufacture, making sure the clamp is in the right direction as the Canopus only fits one way.

Front Light Clamp.

Red Low Charge Indicator Light.

Front Mount in place. 

Canopus fitted onto the Front Mount.

Canopus on the handle bars.

Fits nicely on the bars.

Only problem was my Garmin got in the way of the side safety lights,
  maybe a different case with straight handle bars.

The Vega is the name of the rear light in the set.
This is a nice compact light weighing in at 31g.

On/Off switch.

This also comes with a very easy range of light settings.
Full beam
Flash mode
The switch is sited on the top, at the front of the Vega.
This rear light has a recharge point which is covered with a weather poof rubberised cover.
Both front and rear lights are waterproof to IPX4 rating [Protects from splashing water in any direction].

USB Charge Cover

The Vega has a neat looking 220 Degree wide angle projection, making it easier to be seen from the side.

Vega Rear Light.

The fitting of the Vega is very easy, it is supplied with a rubberised strap which you simply connect to the clips on the rear of the Vega, then loop it around your seat post, adjusting it to the required height securing it with clip onto the two remain clips.

Quick release fittment.

The Battery supplied with the Vega is also made by Samsung, it is a Lithium-ion and has a capacity of 180mAh, its run time is around the 6.5 hours.
The Vega is one of the Lightest and Smallest rear lights I've come across, its a measly 72 by 45 mm in size, and made out of ABS PMMA.

Thanks to Proviz for sharing these Lights

 My opinion of the Canopus and Vega lights.

What really surprised me was the power output and projection of the Canopus, it is rated as a 300 Lumens front light, but seems to put out more power than the 300 I think this is due to the clever Cree lens.
The overall weight of this light is amazing I have never picked up a light with a spec as good as this one that only weighs in at 131g!
I particularly like the simplicity of the switches just being able to quickly scroll through the light setting to get to the On and Off position.
Easy fit mount clamp
Although I found it a bit fiddly to remove the light from the front clamp at first, but I think this was due to the light being new, and will probably get easier the more I use the lights.
The slotted side light on one side was blocked by my Garmin on its mount, so this is something I will have to look at and adjust, you may need to check side visibility on you own bike if you have other things mounted to your handle bars and then adjust as necessary.
[Just make note to look at every now and again, on the front mount there is a small screw that holds the light clip, if this starts to get lose simply remove the clamp and tighten the small screw.]

My opinion on the rear light, the Vega what is there not to like, this is a super little light in weight 31g, easy to fit and will fit any seat post, even a "D" shaped one.
Easy on off.
Simple to charge up.
This light has a nice flash mode ideal when on a Night rides, or even for those of you who do the Dunwich dynamo.
These lights are fantastic for commuters who perhaps have a fold up bike as the are extremely light, and also very bright on the winter nights when travelling home from the station.
Safe for Epileptics.


 The innovation and simplicity of these lights have made Proviz the watch word in cycle accessories.

Tru-Tension TUNGSTEN ALL WEATHER LUBE REVIEW.

Bananaslip

TRU-TENSION TUNGSTEN ALL WEATHER LUBE

REVIEW

In the year we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the landing of the First Man on the Moon and the Apollo space program, I remember with excitement what the future would hold, we watched programs such as "Tomorrow’s World" these were full of futuristic ideas, which held us spell bound all week until the next episode, we would go into school the next day with excitement to discuss with our friends the inventions of the future.
Tomorrow’s World had some incredibly futuristic stuff such as a Watch with a LED light, a big screen TV that was only two inches thick [TV's in those days were 2 foot thick] and a pen that wrote upside down!  These were just a few of the exciting new things the future would hold.

NASA was founded in 1958, and have been experimenting with things in space that would in time be found on planet Earth. Apollo Program · Space Shuttle program · Project Mercury · Project Gemini · Voyager Program · Mariner program · International Space Station program · Discovery Program · New Frontiers Program · Mars Exploration Program · Lunar Orbiter program · Small Explorer program · Mars Surveyor '98 program · Mars Scout Program, we are Now and have been benefitting from the research from these space programs since this time.

I am doing a  review on a Space Technology Chain Lube called "Tungsten All Weather Lube" made by a company called Tru-Tension.
https://www.tru-tension.co.uk/about/

As featured on the "BBC's Dragan Den" program, and which caught the attention of one of the "Dragan's", so the future is looking good for Tru-Tension, as they now have the funding required to take this to the next level, which is good news for us as you will now find Tru-Tension sold in High street shops like Halfords etc, at great prices that will not rob the "Bank"...…..

The Special Space Technology bit.

On the Tru-Tension website there is a very interesting description of the way that their Bananaslip lubricant reduces the friction compared to product lubes with Teflon and Graphite Ceramic. Taking it one step above all the other lubes out there on the market.
Tru-Tension are saying that their lubes are more durable and they also say that the Tungsten will smooth out the surface of the metal to minimise surface imperfections, which could cause up to 40% less friction than against a Ceramic lube, up to a massive 50% compared to a Teflon Lube, and as much as up to 60% against a Graphite lube. The BananaSlip creates a atomic layer on the surface which in turn, will reduce wear on the drivetrain on your bike and protect all the moving components which it is applied to.

The first Tungsten infused lubricants 

Bringing space grade lubricants to the cycling industry! 

All weather durability 

Silky smooth running no noise and extensive endurance

Impressive list.

Perfect for anything on your bike.

50ml volume of lube in a bottle 105ml size
this is due to the product needing space to mix before application.

Next Generation Lube.

Tungsten Lube.

All Weather Lube.

Which chain lube is best for you?

My personal preference is a all weather lube, simply because it can be used all year round, where as some lubes are classed as "Dry lubes",and hence are not water resistant. If your inclined you could just simply use a Dry lube in the summer, and a Wet lube in the winter, each one has it up's and downs. 

So much has been written on the subject of "Chain Lubes" but this review is about an All Weather Lube called BananaSlip.

The BananaSlip comes in a handy 105ml bottle [ the content is 50ml volume, this is due to the lube needing to have space costing  £10.00 so for the technology not an over the top price. 
Like any good chain lube reviews, the first thing that has to be done is to remove all existing lubricants and thoroughly clean the drive train, and that is exactly what I did.

Time for a clean up.

Bit of build up noticed on the chain.

Clean Chain.

Jockey Wheels all clean.

Nice and clean.

Well constructed quality bottle

Screw Cap.

Before use remove cap and remove the foil on the top.

Replace Cap and shake.

After a real good shake apply.

Rear cassette.

I noticed the jokey wheels had been coated as well with the Bananaslip Lube.

Instructions tell you to leave on for five minutes
and then remove the excess.

My Verdict:

I found the BananaSlip to be a perfect chain lube for my bike chain [I have a Giant Gravel Bike] which I use On and Off road.
It is white in colour and has an almost creamy texture to it. Once I had shaken the bottle for a few minutes, it was then one of the easiest lubes to apply, it never dripped from the chain when applying and on the rotation of the wheel it also covered the jockey wheel.  I then simply left it for 5 minutes and then removed the excess with a clean cloth.
Whilst out on a ride the gear change seemed smother up and down the cogs, the noise reduction on the road was most impressive and the best part was my wife not moaning at me for getting oil all over my clothes, result all round!
I was extremely impressed as to the simplicity of the application and as to the resulting smoothness of my ride. I shall be applying some to my pedals at a later date.
I will certainly be adding this product to my Christmas List for use in further applications, although I only used about half a bottle so that means I still have more than enough for the foreseeable FUTURE!!!!

This product is sold in a 105ml bottle although the actual volume of lube is infact 50ml, the reason for this is the lube needs space and air to mix before application. So don't think the bottle is only half full, there is a scientific reason for this.

Caution as stated on the bottle keep away from BRAKE components.

The first Tungsten infused lubricants, bringing space grade lubricants to the cycling industry! All weather durability, silky smooth running, no noise and extensive endurance.
