Hi,
 
I have started riding couple of weeks back, mostly 30km in bangalore on weekends. Facinated with Road bikes and want to change. Looking for suggestions?
Current ride is a Rockrider 5.3, considering a trek 1.5.

Hi Rishi,

I have been using this http://store.bumsonthesaddle.com/products/niterider-mako-150-combo-light-set-2013-edition since Jan.

Both the lights are really powerful.


Thanks and Regards,
