Quick light question

seanorawe

I have a decent light on my bike, but when its dark I want the full beam on my light plus another light to flash. Problem is I have no space on my bars.

Anyone know if this would stretch around my head tube?

I doubt it - but you can always bodge something to work

I dunno if you've tried stacking the lights - one above the bar, one below - saves a bit of space

Helmet light?

I've just tried mine and it will stretch around the stem spacers,but its not going to fit round the head tube

Those lights will stretch around 31.8mm handlebars. If you want a light to go round the headtube, look at Knog Gekko http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIKNGEF/kn ... ront-light Mine lives on the headtube and unlike other Knog lights the band doesn't break.

Is your band at its limit in the head tube? Mine is, to the point it looks like it could ping off. It. Feels sturdy, but looks dodgy

Put them on your fork legs

I just bought a CatEye Rapid X2 which sits on my headtube, us it on flash mode. It definitely stretch to a bigger tube if necessary or you could even source some larger bands to make it fit a fatter headtube.

I find stuff slowly slides down the fork legs, and then twist. I ended up getting a crown mount for my front flasher, saves the fuss and ensure equal visibility from both sides of the bike.

I tested it today on my commute. Its a tight stretch, but is stayed on
