cyclist

Pros:

None.

Cons:

The specs are wrong which means it wont fit.
Its not 72mm, its 62mm

Other Thoughts:

I have reported this several times and so has another customer and nothing gets changed.
So this is the best way i can think to stop other customers wasting their money buying this when it wont fit their lens.

Bottomline:

Read the thread below for all the info ~ http://club.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/threadid.535855

Pros:

They seem very nicely made.
Very nice mesh.
I would say the price is a pro, but as its useless, i can't.

Cons:

These would be great if it wasn't for the HUMONGOUS padding/nappy they had sown into it!
Whoever made/designed this either used the padding from the XXXXXXL shorts or they just don't have a clue what cycling padding should be like.
Basically it is far too thick and big.
When i was wearing it, i was sitting on about 15% of the padding, and the rest was sticking out the back, it felt horrible.

Other Thoughts:

A good mesh short, but let down really badly by the HUGE nappy.

Bottomline:

Some people seem happy with theirs, but if you're used to wearing proper cycling shorts, don't waste your money.
Needless to say, mine went in the bucket after just one ride :(

Pros:

Good quality feel to it.
Nice clicky, good threads.
Bright enough for me on AA batterys.
Looks good.
Three O-rings.

Cons:

Could do will a spring on both ends for good battery contact, just has spring on switch.
Will tail stand, but clicky is just a bit too recessed for easy switching on and off.

Other Thoughts:

This would no doubt be a lot brighter with 14500, but it is more than adequate with a AA battery for the person im giving it to.
I had to put a post-it note inside the barrel to stop the battery rattling around as its very loose with a AA.

Bottomline:

I really like this light, i just wish i had a reason to carry it around with me all the time!
Highly recommended, go buy it.

Pros:

Great looking colourful wee creature.
Still working after 2-3years.
Cheap and cheerful.
Feels good in the hand while holding it, its feet give you something to hold/steady it or keep it in place.

Cons:

Had to fix the roller after about a year of regular use, but its easy enough to do.
To do this, you unscrew the one screw at the back and then the cover comes off and you can get into the roller.
I just cleaned it and then put a bit of glue on the end bit and then put it back together, worked fine ever since.

Other Thoughts:

It works as it should.
If you want something that is a wee bit different to the usual boring mice, then this is for you.

Bottomline:

Worth buying if you want to add a bit of colour to your computer area.
Very nice piece.

Pros:

Good sound from the MP3.
Good quality picture from the camera/video.
They actually look better than in the DX picture, they have a aluminium piece along both sides, which breaks up the plain black look.
The lens has protective clear plastic over it, so its easy to clean and will get less damage.
The radio is a nice feature to have, as sometime you can get sick of listening to the same tracks all the time, and the reception is quite good too.
Buttons are simple to use and you get a clear beep in the earpiece to let you know where you are.

Cons:

The lens is off to the side, you have to remember that sometimes if you're filming/taking pictures, not really a proper con though.
Most/all MP3 type glasses have a flashing light on the inside of the arm to let you know its on etc... these have the flashing light on the OUTSIDE of the arm, so everybody knows they're on!!!! Nothing spy about that.
The MP3 player is very frustrating, as it like to play tracks VERY randomly.
Sometimes it will go track 1,2,3,1,4,3,1,5,7 etc...
You can still just jump forward, but more often than not, you will get one of the tracks its just played!!!
Sound on the video can also be very tinny at times.

Other Thoughts:

I wish the MP3 worked properly!

Bottomline:

I am reasonably happy with these and will continue to use these occasionally.
If it wasn't for the problem with the MP3, then i could really recommend these, if you can live with that, then these will suit you.

Pros:

Very strong.
Can wrap it around anything.
Supports my Fuji film S100FS camera very well.
Price is okay.
Big, but small enough to carry around in your bag or pocket.
Very light.

Cons:

The plastic ball joints can come off if you twist it too much.
Dont know how long it would last if you were using this all the time, as i think the joint could loosen over time, but maybe not!

Other Thoughts:

I quite like this and it has come in handy a few times.

Bottomline:

If you are getting into photography or have been at it for a while, and you dont have one off these, then i can highly recommended having this just in case the day comes along when you would need something like this.

Pros:

They get WARM, sometimes to warm, but there is a heat control and you can easily switch them off if you need too.
There are two pads in each glove, one on the back of the hand and one on the bit over the fingers.
They have high and low settings.
Feel okay when wearing them.
They heat up quite quickly.

Cons:

Only really the cost, just a bit too high for what these are.

Other Thoughts:

These can get very hot, they could really do with a medium mode instead of the low, as the low is a bit too low.

Bottomline:

I can recommended them if these would work for you.

Pros:

Very cheap for this type of plug.
You can switch of plugs individually and the lights lets you know if they are on or not.
It is fused.

Cons:

When i first got this, i plugged it in and the lights flickered when it was in use, so i was i bit wary for a few weeks, but after several years, it still works and i sometime wonder how i got on without it.
Feel cheap.

Other Thoughts:

As i said above, i wasn't sure the would last long, but it has and if you need something like this, then i would recommend it.
The only problem you might have, is if you are using this with a double socket (Wall plug) and you have a plug in the socket beside this, you wont be able to use the adaptor on that side, but that is about the only con.

Bottomline:

Recommended, buy it.

Pros:

These are a great little mirror/reflector for those blind spots.
Cheap.
Now you can see what you are about to pull out on!!
Reflector/mirror is very clear.

Cons:

Can be quite hard to set up properly.
Once you stick it on, there is no taking it off to adjust it if its slightly in the wrong place, as the sticky pad will lose its stickiness or just rip off.
A bit small.

Other Thoughts:

If these were a bit bigger and easier to mount in the correct place the first time, then these would be great.
They are still very good and usable, so dont be put off.
They are so cheap, maybe just buy a couple off pairs just to make sure you have a spare if the mounting doesn't go to well.

Bottomline:

Buy it or a pair, they do the job.

Pros:

Its cheap for this type of bulb.
They work and have not died after over a year of use.

Cons:

None what so ever.

Other Thoughts:

The ones i got (4) were all clearly 5 watts.
Typical halogen yellow.
Although these are only 5 watt, they are a direct replacement for 10 watt bulbs, as the difference is not too much.

Bottomline:

Can not really fault them, they are cheap and do the job that they are designed for.
Just make sure you wipe your finger prints of them after you fit them.
I recommend these if this is what you're looking for, but DX have now got 12v LED replacements that are very good and will work and are very nice.

Pros:

Very very strong.
Easy to mix.
I have used this on plastics and metals, and it really does the job.
I dont believe this is genuine Araldite, but as it does any job i ask of it, i dont really care if it is or not.
very good price.

Cons:

Absolutely none.

Other Thoughts:

Why does it always come in such small tubes!
I should have bought a couple off these, as i always find stuff to use this on.

Bottomline:

Buy a couple of packs, as it cheap enough and you will likely get around to using it.
Cant really go wrong.

Pros:

Its a copy of my favourite Aurora shell that i like very much.
It has a good solid clicky.
Everything unscrews should you need to get into it to fix or mod it.
Nice colour.
Good runtime from 18650.

Cons:

Just a bit to close in price to the same type Aurora P7 for an R2.

Other Thoughts:

It has a very tight hot spot with not that much spill.
One click high/low/off.
I only use this with 18650's and it runs well with around 3 hours on high and about 10 or so on low.

Bottomline:

Its a very reliable light and looks good.
Its a sandy gold colour which i quite like.
Nice light, cant really go wrong if you get this.

Pros:

NO WIRES!!
1gb mp3 player in sunglasses and no need for wires everywhere.
Enough storage for most people, if not, get the 2gb ones!
Look good.
Lenses are dark enough for using during the day, but also not too dark that you cant use these at night too, so no need to change lenses for night riding/cycling.

Cons:

The plastic is a bit brittle, but if you look after them, they will last.
The plastic lenses are really not very good and definitely not polarised.
If you constantly flip up the lenses up and down, you will wear out the plastic grovie bit, and they will become loose.
This is no big deal, as you can still use them like that or glue them shut.

Other Thoughts:

I have just ordered my 8th pair in 3 years.
These are so cheap i have different music on each pair i have, depending on what mood im in or workout session im doing on my bike i have a choice.
The quality has stayed the same over the years, but they changed the way the player works ~
Some will remember where the music stopped when you plug them in to charge and others will not, and just start off at the beginning again when you press play.
To get around the later, just plug them in while they're playing and it will remember that track when you start them up again.

Bottomline:

Great cheap mp3 glasses.
Has made my looooooong cycles a bit more interesting.
Just buy them.

Pros:

Loads and loads of stickers.
Made my niece very happy.
There is a good selection to choice from.
Apparently these are cheap for the amount you get.

Cons:

Nope.

Other Thoughts:

These were not for me, so i cant really comment to much on function etc... but if you have a daughter or niece (or son!) buy them these and you'll make them very happy if they like these sort of things.

Bottomline:

Seem good quality and plenty to choose from, i cant see where you could really go wrong in buying these.
Just buy these and make someone very happy.

Pros:

A good solid light that gives plenty of scope for modding etc...
Feels good and indestructible.
Good P60 host.
Will take up to 9v.
Good runtime.
Excellent throw with an okay amount of spill.

Cons:

Clicky would look nicer if it was recessed, but still works fine though.

Other Thoughts:

I modded these for bikers, so i could run an external 8.4v 4000mAh pack.
I did that for years and they worked really well.
You could also run two lights off the one pack too if you wanted.

Bottomline:

I nice reliable P60.
Very strong and good threads.
Easy to upgrade with the latest P60's.
Not the prettiest light light, but wont let you down.

Pros:

A very nice quality light, feels solid and unbreakable.
Good amount of flood and throw.
Nice to have a choice of flashing speed, it has slow flash and fast flash.
Around 3 hours on high.
Easy to cycle through modes.

Cons:

None yet.

Other Thoughts:

I got a OP reflector and i prefer that type anyway.
Everything unscrews should you want/need to get into anything to do some mods.

Bottomline:

If you like the looks, then buy this, as you cant really go wrong.
Good runtime out a single 18650 battery.
A light i like very much, recommended.

Pros:

A very nice little key chain.
Very cheap.
Surprisingly solid for the price.
Owned for a few years now and its still in one piece and showing no signs of breaking.

Cons:

None what so ever.

Other Thoughts:

A great gift for any one who is a cyclist or if you know a cyclist, they will like this, and they do not even need to have a tandem!
The two pieces were never meant to stick together, as they are for two different sets of keys.

Bottomline:

I would recommend this to any one who likes cycling and have someone special to give it too.
It will last too, which i found surprising due to the price.

Pros:

Brilliant light.
Very reliable.
Good feel to it and feels unbreakable.
Most of the lights i got were drawing around 3-4amps.
All the lights i got are still going strong after years.

Cons:

Only a wee bit pricey compared to other P7's

Other Thoughts:

My favourite P7 till about a year ago.
Would consider buying it again if the price came down closer to the others.
The bigger reflector does not really give any extra light compared to similar P7's with smaller reflector.
Runtime of around an hour on high and 10-15 hours on low.

Bottomline:

Its a good looking light and will last a very long time.
So, its very reliable and i recommend it highly.

Pros:

Absolutely great light.
Very good feel to it.
Good beam.
Very solid feel.
Nice clicky.
Bright.
O-ring front and rear make it very waterproof.

Cons:

None what so ever.

Other Thoughts:

Only ever used this with 18650 batterys, and was more than happy with the output.
I am sure it would be brighter with CR123A batterys, but the reduced runtime would not be worth it for me, and others i guess.

Bottomline:

My favourite light for a while, and best selling.
Its got quite a bright spot, but it has enough spill/flood for biking.

Pros:

Nice little unit.
Bought hundreds of them so far and none have broken.
Accepts loads of different plugs.

Cons:

The quality has dropped a bit since i first started buying them years ago.
They still work fine, but just feel cheaper now.
The price is only good if you're buying in bulk, as $1.92 for one is a bit much.

Other Thoughts:

I wish the manufacturers would stop making them out of cheaper material to save cents.

Bottomline:

Its well worth buying and wont likely break.
Does the job very well.
Very highly recommended.

Pros:

A very nice solid feeling flashlight.
Can take several different batterys.
Anybody could use this light.

Cons:

Probably only using a P4.
Not supper bright when compared to the latest lights these days.
Should be cheaper now.

Other Thoughts:

I used this for a while with a 18650 on my bike, and then gave it to my mother to use, and she uses AAA batterys, and she is very happy to have a decent light.
DX/manufacturers need to learn to either updated the LEDs or lower the price, or they'll just never sell the older lights.

Bottomline:

Nice small and versatile light that can use several types of batterys.
Solid feel, quality light, if a bit pricey now.

Pros:

Its does what it is meant to do.
Gives a good amount of resistance.
Nice feel to it.
It is adjustable, so it can fit different size people.

Cons:

Can be a bit uncomfortable on the back of the wrist if used for a long time.
Could be just a wee bit cheaper.

Other Thoughts:

Had it for a few years now, still happy with it.
If something could be done about the slight discomfort on the back of the wrist when using it for a longer time, then this would be perfect.

Bottomline:

If you want to strengthen your wrist/wrists, then this is for you.
I can not see it breaking in the future, so it should last for a long time.

Pros:

Feels soft.
Does not take a lot of breath to blow it up.
Comes in very handy and packs very small, so its easy to carry about.
Cheap.

Cons:

The bit where you neck goes could do with a bit of trimming, but it does not cut you.

Other Thoughts:

Possibly could be a bit tight around the neck for people with a bit thicker necks.
Trim the excess a bit better and it would be a very nice item.

Bottomline:

Its cheap enough just to buy and have lying about until the day/s come when you need it.
Cant really fault it for the price, other than it just needing a weee trim.

Pros:

Good solid feel.
Heavy duty, should you need something heavy to defend yourself!
No issues with it after a couple of years.
Bright.

Cons:

A bit pricey nowadays.
A bit to sensitive for the mode changing, but was using it for biking (not recommended, to front heavy).

Other Thoughts:

One of the few single battery P7's that i could do an indoor run test without it getting really hot.
The big head really helps cools the light.
I thought it would be a bit of a thrower when compared to other P7's will a smaller head, but there wasn't really any difference.

Bottomline:

If you need a bright light which can be used for defending yourself, then this could be the one for you.

Pros:

Good looking light.
Very thick aluminium.
Okay drop-in.

Cons:

Maybe should've been drilled out a bit, so that 18650 could fit.
Switch is the worst ive had yet, and thats saying something.
Its toooo long and wobbles all over the place.
It hasn't broken yet, but it does not feel good at all.

Other Thoughts:

If it was sold as a shell for half the price, then maybe it could start selling.

Bottomline:

If you like the look and dont mind paying this price, then go for it.
Will fit any P60 drop-ins.
Worth modding for some people i guess.

Pros:

This a great quality light that was one of my favourites for years.
I bought loads of these.
Very sturdy and strong light.
Very reliable.
Good throw and flood.

Cons:

LED is a bit out dated now, but price is reasonably low, but really should be under $20 with that LED now.

Other Thoughts:

Update the LED and you've got yourself a good light.

Bottomline:

Nice light and does whatever job you bought it for.
As a first light, you cant go wrong with this.
A bit pricey now, but if you want a reliable quality light, then you cant go far wrong with this.

Pros:

It fits on the bike.
Its has a battery you might be able to use when i dies!

Cons:

Mine worked for a week or so, and reset itself a couple of times while riding home in that time.
In its first rain shower, it stopped working and has never worked since.

Other Thoughts:

A bit pointless making an item like this for a bike that isn't at least a bit waterproof!
Some people say theirs are waterproof, but mine wasn't.

Bottomline:

A bit of false economy buying this and hoping it works.
Just spend twice this and get a decent one.

Pros:

Throws really far.
Very reliable.
Good solid feel to it.
No issues in a couple of years.

Cons:

Its an old light now, and needs the LED updated and the price reduced if people are expected to buy this now.
Horrible plastic lens, and a really nasty plastic reflector.
Both work, but the lens is quite scratched now.

Other Thoughts:

I used this for a while and then sold it to my friend who has been using it very happily for the last 2-3 years on their bike.

Bottomline:

If this had an R2/R5 in it and a better lens/reflector, and reduced the price to $23 max, then im sure this could become a good seller again.
Maybe good for some if they wanted to mod it with better parts.

Pros:

Very cool lights.
Different colours.
Will suit dogs or cats, or little children!
Nice and cheap, so you can buy several without it making you skint.
Easy to use.

Cons:

Cant think off any.

Other Thoughts:

You screw and unscrew it to turn it on & off, and dont turn it to far when you turn it off, or you might loose the end.
People talk about these having motion activation, but i think they are fine the way they are.
Surely you need to know where your dog is all the time in the dark, not when its just moving!

Bottomline:

Good buy for multiple uses.
You cant go wrong at this price.

Pros:

The best mount on DX by far.
Simple to mount, even on oversize bars.
Quick release, so nice and easy to get flashlights in and out.
Really solid, and holds all single 18650 lights nice and tight.

Cons:

Nut and bolt will seize a bit if they get used in the rain regularly, and start to go a bit rusty.
Not really a big con, and easily unscrewed & fixed.

Other Thoughts:

People talk about having to use washers with these!
I can see why they think they might need too, but i have been using mine for years without needing too.
All you need to do is just make sure the light is mounted properly and it'll be fine.
You just need to make sure you mount the light in the middle, so the weight is equally distributed over the bracket.
I have used these for 12/24hr mtb races and they are perfect.

Bottomline:

Just buy it.
No point buying expensive over engineered mounts when this one does everything you need.
Will also work with AA & AAA flashlight, by just using the spare bit rubber you get with it.
Oh, and if you have oversize bars, you just need to use a zip tie/cable tie and they work fine.
