BRIT BITS: Hope Technology – R4 light

Its that time of year again, the nights are drawing in and for after work rides it is now essential to run some lights on your pride and joy. I had some Hope HID lights several years ago and was always impressed with their slick design and the fantastic aftermarket warranty service. I did however switch over to the cheap side last winter, deciding to go over to some cheap Chinese lights, you know, the ones that are all the same but have about a hundred different names on Ebay! I have to admit for the money their brightness was OK, they were quite industrial looking, with a bit of a pin-point beam, but when a fully charged battery died (after half an hour of riding) down one of my favourite downhill trails, my trust in them was somewhat destroyed.

Funky looking Goggles – 100% Accuri

Nowadays, in the sport of Enduro or for the speed-gaining uplift days, wether you choose half or full-face helmet, lots of riders still choose a trusty set of goggles.

And with a 14mm wide strap they will take the abuse thrown at them.

BRIT BITS: Works Components Thick/Thin Chainring

Started originally by SRAM, the thick/thin, extended tooth design chainring seems all the rage at the moment, with several aftermarket manufacturers having a go at their own version to fit the standard four bolt cranks as well as the SRAM style cranks. This here thick/thin chainring was sent to me on test by Works Components, a UK company who design and manufacture all their products over in Cannock (West Midlands). They do a vast array of angleset headsets, as I have featured before, but this is one of their later products, just now having become available.
