My best rear light is the Exposure Flare, and I got the new Blaze ... which is USB rechargeable.

Twice as heavy, but nice look/feel with push button and battery level indicator etc. Maybe sits more secure than the Flare, as weight is located close to the seatpost.
Mount bracket is not made for aero seatpost, but can be rigged and the red elastic binders can be max stretched to fit. I use the (larger size) Garmin Edge mount bands instead as they fit just about right and look better.
Bright it is ... and 5 lumens brighter than the Flare (80 vs 75).

Will make a intro gallery tread later this week with better pics, specs and weight.

they look nice, but I can't quite understand why these wheels are so popular with CK hubs. DT or Alchemy seem like the way to go...
Ok, so not actually bought today but 'arrived' today...first foray into Di2 and it's slick as anything

DT straight pull would be my choice. Then possibly the new Alchemy 11 speed.
Now I can read my garmin while riding- bifocal lenses! http://www.dualeyewear.com
Great fit for those of us with a small face. The frame doesn't have the same solid feel as my Rudy Projects, but is guaranteed for 2 years, and this was 1/3 the price of the Rudy reader lenses, so I figured they are worth a try.
2011 black and white SLR01. Will be running Sram Force with Red yaw FD, Q rings, Camillo brakes, Pro Evo stealth bar/stem combo and DA7900 C24 wheels.
