Niterider Minewt mini 600

All the votes are in, and in a change to the usual laid back approach to drawing a winner, we thought we'd try and be on the button with this one and, erm, draw it on the day we said we would. So we headed over to www.random.org and asked it for a number between 1 and 883, and it duly obliged. And our winner is...

neildmoss!

Well done Neil, if that's your real name. sorry if you missed out, but there will be other chances to win. Oh yes. Even today Oli was going through the schwag cupboard with a critical eye...

--------------------------------------------------

Roll up roll up! No sooner has one schwag grab finished (okay, we were a couple of days late picking the winner) than another begins. This time one lucky reader could be riding away into the well-lit night with a - deep breath - Niterider MiNewt 600 Cordless rechargeable bike light. Phew.

The MiNewt is one of the first lights from this year's stock to get tested, and it's fair to say Dave thought it was a good buy, giving it an 8/10 score and calling it a 'very good all round light that can be bar or helmet mounted, which puts out enough illumination for the tarmac and the trails'. The light on offer is the one we tested, so it's done a few miles, but we've given it a good old buff up and it's as good as new, honest. We don't have the box, though. Sorry about that. We'll throw in a pair of road.cc socks instead. Deal?

Anyway, if you want to win it all you have to do is comment below. We'll pick a winner next Monday (assuming we remember, eh) and the usual schwag grab rules apply. Happy commenting and good luck!

Thank you! Big Grin

Day Dreaming

posted by shishman [24 posts] 26th October 2011 - 11:17

On the Amazon web site the Philips LED from the comparison of night lights said it was better to have a light that conformed to German standards. On the Amazon web site the Philips LED had a "Empfehlung Test RADtouren 1/10 Top Product" badge on it but the Niterider Minewt Mini 600 doesn't. My daily journey takes me down several paths that don't have street lights and are proving increasingly tricky so I need all the illumination I can get.
