I like the light itself I have had mine for about three months now and it has worked flawlessly I use it to commute to in from work about six miles each way. The rubber strap broke the other day on mine and I emailed blackburn to see if they would send me another and they said that part is on back order so I would imagine it is fairly common. They did offer me to send the whole light in and replace it for me so their customer service seemed fine I will have to buy a light to use while it is being sent off. I will probably give another brand a go just for comparison
So, I live in a forest with a mile of gravel road to get to asphalt. That led me to get a gravel bike (bike number 8). Then I needed a water bottle cage - my gravelly was a lightweight Specialized Diverge - in black - and the Blackburn Bottle cage was PERFECT! It works like a champ. I have used Blackburn products in the past with little to no disappointment, where they have exceeded expectations and this bottle cage is no exception!
Purchased the Blackburn WaysideEntry Bottle Cage after regular cages would not release my 2nd bottle, especially in humid weather. The Wayside cage performs as advertised, easy to install, and bottle goes in and out easy so I can focus on those fast rides.
The mirror folds and unfolds with just enough resistance to keep it from slipping once it is adjusted. It's easy to adjust while riding and large enough to give a clear view of approaching riders or traffic.
