Bike Stuff

 

I bought a cheesy yellow bell for my road bike - whenever that fucking thing gets here. I was shipped the wrong bike yesterday by Costco. Instead of the Northrock SR1 Roadbike, they sent this X2 mountain bike. It's about 200$ cheaper than my bike and way smaller. I returned it for a refund and ordered the fucking bike again online. (The bell is cool, it goes 'briiiiiing briiiiiing' like an old school bike bell). Those 'ping' bells? Not for me.

 

These are over-priced, China-made LED lights. Worth probably $5 each, I paid way to much (30 each) for them at Canadian tire. I purchased a basic helmet for $44, it has a rear light too. (not pictured yet). The red light kind of sucks, it only has 3 brightness levels. The flash doesn't work. 

 

The light is very bright. Has 2 brightness levels and a stupid horn button on top. If you turn on the light, you can hear the 'horn' noise very faintly. Really shitty example of how to not isolate your circuitry properly. Junk light but I'll use it for now.

 

I was hoping it was the Northrock SC1, but was some X24 mountain bike. I gave it back for my $629.99 refund. I then had to buy the bike again online and 2 weeks back ordered again.
