anyone has ever ordered anything from bikenashbar.com?

Thinking of purchasing this http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_100...000_201537 because this http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_100...000_201537 truly sucks. Had to send it back to the manufacturer. The battery drained on its own even when it was off. After 10 uses, it never was capable of recharging again

EDIT: the former has better review rating than the latter.

Yep, all the time.

I have, some years ago.

Fine experience, everything as expected.

they're pretty good.

cat eye is normally very reliable. i'm surprised you had a problem.

you're definitely jumping up a quality class by going for the more expensive light.

i have an unopened light at home closer to the cheaper one that i'd be willing to sell you very cheaply if you're interested.

www.chainlove,com has had great deals on higher end princeton tec lights. but its one deal at a time so you need to stay close to your computer to catch the deals. luckily i'm a developer.

Yes, based on recommendations here. No problems with the gear, but I haven't bought a light for years. My Cateye light is still going strong, even tho it's a halogen. I have good night vision, so I don't need a lot of candlepower.

Not been a biker for 20 years or more, but used to order from them in early 80s when you had
to use something called a "phone," and read ads in something called a "magazine."

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Most of the clothes I wear everyday, most of the components on my bikes, panniers, tires, tubes, tools...yeah, Nashbar is my friend.

I use a minewt lite. I love that thing. It incinerates insects in my path because it is so bright. Charges via a standard USB cord so I can ride to work in the dark, charge while I'm there, and ride home in the dark.
