I got some cheap Schwinn "froggy" style lights from walmart. They come in white & red and wrap around handlebars/forks/seat stays - and I'm pleasantly surprised how well they've worked.
Bright as ****, and mine have lasted over a year with getting rained on and dinged up. I've given out a few to friends and family that ride and they've worked great.
They have 3 modes too (solid, blinking, and then a strobe type)

The taillight is going to suck. It will be bright enough, but only when you are aimed perfectly along one angle looking into it. Which is useless. That will not matter though because after you change the batteries once the lens will not stay snapped to the body. The mounting and removing feature will be ass.
The headlight should work for about a day or two. Then the threads that hold the pieces together will stop working, either because the body cracks or because they suck to begin with. The mount will be useless. The removable carrier that holds the batteries will crack.
You should take $4, put it in an envelope, write CHINA on it, and drop it in the mailbox. Start mourning the loss now.

Handlebar shims for $2.80 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A32VWUEWIQ35R3 Shipping is $5 but this brand of shim is carried at several other stores and can easily be price matched.

Which color would you get out of the two there? I'm leaning toward the lampre colors.

Thats been happening for awhile I believe. I always use that code to get the discount even if it doesnt pop up at the bottom. Works every time.

That's cheap as hell. I'm about due for a new chain on the Kilo too. I might be able to settle on gold.
