Default Turn signals at rite aid

i was talking to my freind jim today, who owns a MB that he had built for him , and we were discussing lighting, then he brought up to me that at rite aid, they have these combo brake light/turn signals set up, and it works pretty good! its 3 LEDs for each side, then one in the middle, and has a little control to turn it on for the handlebars, and flashes on the handlebars to remind you that it is on. they were only 8 bucks,and work like a charm, and should be an essential to safety on one of these bikes. i willl post pics later when i find my camera.

I think I know which ones you mean. It is sort of hard to mount the control part sensibly. No way to put it close to either grip.

You just need to expand your horizons, LOL DealExtreme: Bike Accessories (Page 1) for bike stuff. This stuff is usually half the price of what you get in the states, but it may take some time to get to you.

DealExtreme: $6.64 9-LED Turning Signal Lights for Bicycles (2*AA) Sold out at the moment or DealExtreme: $8.65 9-LED Turning Signal Lights with Electronic Horn for Bicycles (2*AA) I bought the first one, the horn is most annoying and when you turn on the signals it makes a godawful noise as well.

I've bought a few things from DealExtreme, most of it was ultra cheap stuff that didn't last long. The only decent thing I got from them was a couple of 3w LED bike headlights. I use two of them, one pointed a little lower and one pointed a little higher, they light the way pretty good, are metal not plastic, and use a decent quality mount unlike the other lights I tried from there. My only gripe is the mounts use a thumb screw, great for adjusting on the road with no tools but they make it very easy for a thief to steal the lights in a few seconds. The lights do slide off the mount at least.

I didn't think my Rite Aid would have the turn signals but they did. Now if I could just find room to mount the remote.

Yeah deal extreme probably won't be getting any more of those. I have already bought a few (I steal the control panel) I tried to buy one like 8 months ago, took them forever to email me and say o we don't have this in the warehouse, then it took 3 emails that all said the exact same thing before they actually got my issue resolved. Basicaly 6 months waiting just for the first email after I had already sent a few. But anyway I used deal extreme a lot and I have noticed a trend that once it is out of stock it almost never comes back on that site. They have a much more crappy version on the site to that has an annoying ass horn that even goes of when your blinker blinks (Believe me its about the most annoying thig since that sound Jim Carrey made in the dog Van in Dumb and Dumber) Sounds like one of those taser gun toys with the different 12 different laser sounds.

Buddy,

You get what you pay for. I have noticed that a lot of the stuff is exactly the same stuff you pay 3 time as much for. I got some flashlight holders that are ok and put a couple Serengeti flashlights I got at Sam's Club. They worked great after I used a little superglue to lock the lights position into place. So I can't complain about a dual headlight system that cost me under $25. The light on my other bike is something like $200 retail and I always worry I am going to come back and find it stolen.
