You guys are building a really great roster of brands. I’m not ready for my next wheel build yet but these will be tempting when i am

no wheel builds yet - in time its likely though.
Pricing is on the site - contact us if you want any more info or different items.
Thanks Yuley - we take a lot of time to deliberate on each addition to the store. Got a few more in the pipe, but itll take time

We are doing Gloworm lights now, and wrote this very brief guide about lights for night riding - may be useful if youve never ridden at night before.

This is a development i can get excited about!
Are you guys selling the XSV with the wireless remote?

There's a few things ORBO could add to their site to help sell them, but in their defence, the run times aren't easy to find on the Gloworm site either, unless you know where to look, and even then it's a Dropbox link.
They are great lights. I would have thought the Alpha is the best entry point in their range. If the Alphas are not bright enough you really need to go to specs savers.

hello, is it me that youre looking for?

That's the one, there's just no mention of the remote on your site
I agree, the Alphas are a fantastic small form light and plenty bright, I've had mine on my bars for a couple of years now and combined with a small light on my helmet the combo is enough.
But I'm building a 24hr race set, so the Alphas are going to be mounted to my helmet. The XSV set will be on the bars, set at the same output as the Alphas, for a 6 hour (claimed) run time.
I'll need a couple more batteries to get the total run I'll need, but I'm stuck in Vic so there's no rush for that.
MOD NOTE: I've moved conversation that's drifted into lights and 24hr racing into the Lights thread:
LIGHTS MEGATHREAD - all questions on riding lights asked and answered here!!!
Hi All, Been thinking about getting a new set of lights for commuting and to possibly get back into night riding on the trail now that the battery of my old Smart UK halogens has died... RIP! :p Anyhow, after sifting through this and mtbr.com forums (Lights Shine-Off Review), I'm still...

I'm ordering a gloworm xsv light mainly due to local warranty and repair options. Don't let me down!

no pressure! Thanks for your support, we really appreciate it.
Would I feel pedal kickback more because of the instant engagement?

I don't own a sprag clutch hub, but have read a bit about them (might want one for a future project). Some people do suggest because the engagement is instant but "softer" (ie: no free-spin then sudden thunk as it engages), they can be a bit easier to live with on bikes with a lot of kick-back than a high-POE pawl/ratchet type hub. YMMV though as is depends how much pedal kick-back plays on your mind...

@russthedog - I see you have Onyx's new Vesper hubs on the website, but wondered is it possible to get Classic or single-speed hubs ordered if desired? I might be chasing a new rear hub soon(ish).
