Lezyne

I put this on the end of the hose of my Fanttik S200 APEX portable electric pump I bought at one of the well-known club warehouses. I was concerned about the outside dimension of the hose working with the Lezyne Clik Chuck. So I bought a spare hose on Amazon after reading a review that said it fit the Fanttik pump. I cut the end off the hose, wet it with alcohol, pushed the chuck into it, and screwed on the nut. Voila! It fit like a champ. So now I have a quality Clik chuck instead of the solid plastic Schwalbe adapter on the end of the hose. The bleed valve will allow me to easily depressurize my tubeless tires when I am ready to add sealant or just replace them. The 90-degree head makes it a bit easier to attach to the Clik valves. I highly recommend and may build another set sometime.

I had a leak I had patched with a bacon strip but the next ride it blew out despite only using 30 psi. Sealant all over, so I used a DynaPlug and that worked. But when I got home I decided to patch from the inside. Directions on using is just some images, not discussion on how long after using the glue to apply so I went by how we patch tubes. Worked well but after mounting and inflating, air would still leak out. I added sealant and then it sealed. I will see how well they hold up. I used the 3.5 mm plug. Sealant is Silca Ultimate 2.

My old Garmin Varia was only holding a charge for around 3 hours. So, it was time to replace it. This tail light was just released. I've been happy with other Lezyne products and this was also about $50 less than the base Varia model and way less than the new Varia. I've now used it for about 2 weeks and I'm really happy with the performance of this product. The warnings are exactly the same as the old Varia. I've not had any false positives or false negatives. On top of all that, I got 14 hours of riding out of my first charge. That's about double what I ever got out of the Varia, even when it as new.

The only downside to this light is the way it attaches to your bike. It's just a rubber strap around your seat post. There's no way to attach it to a tab on a saddle bag or saddle rails. It's easy to move from bike to bike, but I wish there was more flexibility in where you can mount it.

Even with the lack of mounting options, I'm still very happy with this tail light.

On the bike this light works well--bright and compact. However, I question the running time claimed by the manufacturer. I get about 10 hours. I also am quite frustrated by how much time it takes to recharge the thing. Without its battery being fully drained, in my experience it takes in excess of 48 hours of plug-in time to get the elusive green light. Seriously. I have contacted the manufacturer about that, only to be told that, yeah, it takes that long. So if you have the patience to wait, and not the need for the light for a couple days, I guess it's a pretty good product.
