Congrats to the lucky winners and commiserations to y'all who missed out. Next week: some natty pedals!
[here's the original story]
The Schwag Grab has been away for a bit but now it's back! And this week we've got five sets of Blackburn Flea front and rear lights to offload on you lucky chancers courtesy of our pals at Madison.
If you haven't seen the Flea lights before, well they're mad clever: the lights are rechargeable and the come with a little charging unit that attaches magnetically to any standard AA battery: they work with rechargeables too.
Once they've had their fill they'll run for between 3 and 12 hours, depending on mode, before you need to top them up. And they only weigh 17g each, so even the most stringent of racing snakes should be okay with them.
The rules are as usual: just comment on this story to be in the hat. No multiple posts please. We'll draw the winner on Friday at about tiffin-time. Mmmm, tiffin.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

The tyre wear for (car shaped) EVs has to be more due to the heavier weights and the increased torque.

Can keep going for up to 12 hours, just like me.....
The nights are drawing in, good lights are essential
they would be great
Light at the end of the tunnel.
They look better than my very large and heavy Cateye lights. especially as my leg keeps catching on the rear bracket they're attached with.
Tiffin sounds good... but I'll settle for the lights
Me please.
A pair of those would be just what the doctor ordered. maybe have to go to the co-op tomorrow to purchase a pack of tiffin. Should I eat them all guilt free on the train to Chester or save some for the radarlings, mrs radar and the radar-outlaws? (We're all off to the zoo tomorrow , zoo tomorrow etc Not enough room in car for all 7 of us so I've volunteered for two hours peace and quiet each way on the train - Guardian crossword, no mither and some tiffin squares. tangfastic!)
That finally got me registered!
we OWN you now
He doesn't need the lights I do (he's an mtb'er don't
you know .... Sorry Graham :-])
Roadies forever !!!!
They'd make nice little friends for my hipster cysts......
I'm itching to get me some of these. Hmmmmm.
I'm glad to see the schwag grab going again, i like this
i always look forward to it at the end of the week 
Days are getting shorter I guess. Might need some lights sometime soon.
Bugaboo!

OOOOOO! Me Please!
Good to see the Schwag Grab hasn't become a flash in the pan and is still charging ahead, lighting the way for others to follow ...

Tiffin with fleas ? I like the sound of that.
Just the thing for winter
pickmepickmepickme!
How teeny teeny wee
Is the little tiny Flea,
One would think that one so small
could do no harm at all,
But all last night
In my hotel
He made me scratch
Like merry hell.

I think this would be the only time that I would admit to having fleas
..and some tiffin for the runners up, or maybe the friday after. cheers.
Not even in August and yes, I am already thinking it is getting darker on my evening ride! Yes please to fleas!
MINE! (please)
tiffin time whilst charging this 'sweet' lights up - sounds good! B)
