anyone reccomend me a good set of lights (not too dear) and a decent lock

cheers

 

Anything by Cateye will be decent. Cheaper and also good are Smart lights. lockwise, depends on your budget and how you plan on carrying it.

 

Cat eye are decent. I'm on my second set on my bike.

 

Cateye ,had mine 2 years now and changed the batteries once ;and thats commuting to and from work everyday regardless of the uk weather

 

cheers guys ill have alook at cateye then.... the bike lock will be carried in a rucksack most of the time

 

I use a heavy chain and padlock. Have to say it is heavy in my rucksack though. With hind sight I would buy some sort of d-lock. Don't know which are best though.

 

both.

sounds like a nuts thing to say, but you should use two different styles of lock - chain/cable and a D-Lock. It takes two different methods to remove the locks.

Oh, and learn how to use a d-lock properly:



As for lights - I'm a bit (well - a LOT) OTT on bike lights but I cycle down unlit country lanes and need to see as well as be seen. However - for the rear lights a Cateye LD610 (5 very bright LEDs) or a LD1100 (10 bright LEDs) are near perfect

I'm running:
Front (euphemistically called a Hope Vision 3)
Hope Vision 1
Hope Vision 2

Rear
Hope District 3
Cateye LD1100

If you total it up, it comes to £300 on lights.
