[RBW] Re: Cygolite mounting questions
I have a Paul Gino Mount and the Nob and neither worked for me. I have fenders and 1 1/2 in? wide tires so the light beam is half way on the tire when I try to mount the light on the fork. So I just put the light back on the handlebars. I have the Nite Rider MiNewt 600 rechargeable light. Any suggestions? If not, I can send one of these to someone if anyone needs one. I know where the Paul mount is. I'll have to look for the Nob. I took it off a while ago.

Stephen S. and all others who gave advice: thanks! I ended up getting a Paul "Gino" mount for the fork braze-on. Great product! Simple, fairly cheap, just what I need.

[RBW] Re: Cygolite mounting questions
Thanks for the ideas to all. Looks like Ginos light is a good solution, but it works for M5 braze ons; I've got M4 where I want to attatch the light (mid fork braze on). Ditto for the VO gaget. Charlie's solution might be my best bet: make my own. Of course I can do this, but I'd rather not spend my precious time tinkering - I'd rather spend it riding. I've got two small kids (4 and 6), a 50+ hr. a week job, and etc. Finding time to ride is almost impossible, let alone tinker. Charlie: I can attatch my Princeton EOS to my helmet if I want. I would not normally wear a helmet lamp, because I prefer the light down lower so as not to blind others (If I were trail riding, I might be of a different mind).

+1 on both solutions - I use the Pauls for my rear lights Dennis in PDX On Monday, November 5, 2012 10:22:02 AM UTC-8, Stephen S wrote: > > Which part of the fork do you want to attach to? > > Paul's Gino mount works well on attaching to a braze on the fork. > http://www.paulcomp.com/ginolightmount.html > > The cronometro knob works reasonably well from what I hear for mounting > most places on the fork blades : > http://www.amazon.com/Cronometro-Bicycle-Handlebar-Computer-Mount/dp/B0065ZN1WS > > Stephen > > > On Monday, November 5, 2012 7:25:33 AM UTC-8, John wrote: >> >> I recently purchased a neat little battery light from Riv., the cygolite >> "metro 300".

[RBW] Re: Cygolite mounting questions
With the threaded dropout or fork blade braze on you could take a section of brass, copper, steel or aluminum pipe the diameter of a handlebar more or less and put a flat piece on each end with a hole to run a long bolt through. You could use locktite (the removalable kind) to make sure it stays. Heck you could even use a turned solid piece of something even wood and drill a hole and attach the same way. Super simple. My only question, why the fork.? Why not use it on your helmet to aid in turning corners and for 'pointing' at inattentive drivers?

[RBW] Re: Cygolite mounting questions
Which part of the fork do you want to attach to? Paul's Gino mount works well on attaching to a braze on the fork. http://www.paulcomp.com/ginolightmount.html The cronometro knob works reasonably well from what I hear for mounting most places on the fork blades : http://www.amazon.com/Cronometro-Bicycle-Handlebar-Computer-Mount/dp/B0065ZN1WS Stephen On Monday, November 5, 2012 7:25:33 AM UTC-8, John wrote: > > I recently purchased a neat little battery light from Riv., the cygolite > "metro 300".
