    And from me too.

    I run a wee Moon Crescent and a Lezyne Stripdrive Pro. The latter is very, very tough (and very bright) and the former can be mounted on any size or shape of seatpost. It also comes with a clip for bags/clothing.

    I already have two lights, but my asking for recommendations was to replace one of those lights as without the rubber grommet it's no longer waterproof so I'd rather get another now then wait for it to stop working. While it does carry on working (and this may be a month, it may be a year) I'll likely ride with 3 lights.

    That's interesting. I've had a zecto drive for a while now and when it was new it always stayed put, but the last few weeks I've noticed it wonky at the end of the ride.
    I wonder if the rubber strap has stretched a bit? Or the damp from the roads allows it to slide around more easily?

    I'll give cougie's suggestion for the tape a go at lunchtime. I need some to stop my front lights slipping on the bars and it sounds neater than a bit of old innertube.
