But, it works well and is easy to drink when riding at pace."

"My only criticism is its length on the body, but it seems that when on the bike it is not that bad, though some of my jersey is usually exposed underneath at the front. Great for stuffing, great for emergencies and great for a wind-cheater - though should spend most of its time in your back pocket :-)"
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Unadjustable, Not Enough Features

"Just like any grease, when applying this feels the right consistency etc but is difficult to review yet. I normally use a PTFE based lube for just about anything, so in the longer term it will be interesting to see how this fares."

"Sorry, but not convinced yet. I guess these should cut out the wind and keep our toes warm, but I bought white and they are annoyingly speckled with chain oil after refurbing the bike. I guess its not the fault of the overshoes but annoying just the same. Hoping they wont fray in time around the cleat area, so far so good after several rides."

"There is no doubt that the British manufacturer USE are doing well here, I just hope that the new joystick is better than the previous Wiggle variant, which although still working has on/off issues, coupling issues with the rear red eye and a perished switch cover. However all in all a great unit...just hope it lasts a bit longer..."

ZERO is the new electrolyte drink from High5; it's virtually calorie free (1.4 cal per 100ml) and has a light refreshing taste.
Does it contain any artificial sweetners?
Top 500 Contributor
Yes. I suggest you have a look for Nuun.

The White Eye plugs into your Joystick and will double your light output to 480 Lumens on MaXx setting.
Where is this designed to clip to? With the orientation of the clip as it is it would sure point out to the side of the bike when attached to the bars
Top 500 Contributor
It clips on top of the joystick, piggy backing.

The White Eye plugs into your Joystick and will double your light output to 480 Lumens on MaXx setting.
Presumably it halves the battery life of the light it runs off?
As this plugs into the back of another Exposure light with a Smart Port, it must reduce that light's running time? If used with a 240 lumens light, it would halve its life I assume?

Yep

Redeye Rear Light with Cable
Encased in a tough CNC machined casing and fully waterproof. It uses the same Seoul P4 LED as the Joystick MaXx-2, but in red.
Does this light come with a long cable for a bike mounted front light, or a short cable for a helmet mounted joystick? Or both?
Top 500 Contributor
One long cable to reach to your handlebars

Can the rear light unit be attached to 2008 front light models or only with 2009 lights

Is the white light compatible with the Exposure Joystick MaXx 2 Wiggle Front Light which i bought in Oct 2008?

If it is a Maxx 2, yes I think so.

Replacement bike mounts for the Edge 200, 205, 500, 605, 705, and 800.
See below.
The description states suitable fo both bar and stem mount. The EDGE705 comes with 2 seperate mounts as they are oriented differently to suit the bar or the stem. Can you confirm this product will suit the stem.
Top 500 Contributor
Yes, it is for the handlebar stem.
