Fenix TK11 Bike Mount

NWLondoner

Yesterday i was kiting out my new bike and came accross a slight problem. My Fenix Mount will not fit my oversize 42cm bars :shock:




Ideally i would like a similar device and wondered if anyone else had any suggestions.

I don't really fancy the Twofish holders. I'd rather have something more secure.

I havent had any problems with my twofish lockblock on any of my bikes with a TK11. You can get the light fairly balanced on the mount and then velcro it down hard. The beam does bounce a little if you are riding fast over cobbles but it would with any other type of mount too. So long as the velcro is done up then the light wont come off or slide about. Presumably you wouldnt be leaving the bike locked outside with the lights still attached to it?

Hell no.

i don't leave my bike locked up outside ANYWHERE!!!

one guy mentiond about using a spare light holder and zip-ties tho id want some photographic proof of that actually working. anyways i bought some solid insertion rubber strip & jubilee clips size 2a 35mm - 50mm and that workd for me. altho it will take a long time to setup or to take off for when theres enough daylight hours in the evening.

The two fish lock block is better than the fenix one and holds it securely - i use it off road and its fine.

fluff.

For the light mount + zip ties option, see the bottom of this post

I have the twofish lockblock and despite it's simplicity it holds the thing rock solid and takes seconds to fit / remove.

faff about with rubber bits and jubilee clips if that's what floats your boat, but I can't recommend the lockblock highly enough.

+1 for the Twofish Lockblocks. Simple, nothing to go wrong, quick to fit and work superbly well. Worth it!

i have used 2 twofish lockblocks tho its with a romisen t5 & a ssc p7 torch both use 2x 18650 batterys and they wobble up and down because the roads i ride on arent billiard table smooth . so faffing about with some rubber bits and jubilee clips keep the lights steady. so id say the lockblocks are only good enough for the lights that use aa batterys.

Just tighten your strap - i use one on a p7 too off road and its fine. The balance point is pretty much where you strap it as well so there isnt much to throw it off balance.

Yes, tighten the strap (you can get it really tight) and get the balance point right. I did find it would shift on my flat barred bike (bare metal bars) so I put a strip of inner tube around the bar, secured with silicone sealant, then it didn't move any more. On my road bike it goes over the bar tape. It seems as secure as any other light mount I have used, and doesn't rattle like the Fenix one did (until I modded it anyway).

Well it looks like they may be the best so I'll give them a try.

p.s a small tip. if you have items that slip on bars etc. self amalgamating tape (the stuff satellite installers use on your LNB connection) is great.

I've found the twofish lockblock to be a bit more stable if you undersling it on the bars rather than having it on top of the bars.
