I use a Planet Bike mounted on that rack. One reasons I like it is because it has one of the best reflectors of any blinky type light I have found. http://www.rei.com/product/776955/planet-bike-rack-blinky-5-rear-light. On Mar 16, 11:11 pm, Anne Paulson anne.paul...@gmail.com wrote: Probably

FWIW, I test-mounted two blinkies at the rear of my new Fargo rack and, sho' 'nuff, one bounce off after fewer than 5 miles. The other one remained -- so far. On Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 9:39 AM, judy richmond richmondjudy...@gmail.com wrote: I use a Planet Bike mounted on that rack. One reasons I

The rack mounted tail lights that Peter White sells would fit if the spacing is either 50 or 80 mm. Tel Aviv has a bike sharing program and those are the lights mounted to their racks. Seem to work pretty good. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/bm.asp Scroll down the page to, you guessed it, rack

Planet bike makes a bracket to mount on racks. Put a bolt through one of the middle holes, and tighten it down with a nylock nut and washer on the inside of the rack. It's this part - http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3108.html Pretty sure most lights from Planet bike come with that bracket.

So the Nitto racks have 1 hole, not ? Wierd. I this the page I linked has an adaptor for that too. Jay On Mar 17, 2:41 pm, EricP ericpl...@aol.com wrote: Planet bike makes a bracket to mount on racks.  Put a bolt through one of the middle holes, and tighten it down with a nylock nut and washer

Hi Anne, I have the Nitto Big front rack with a flat plate as you describe. I use the plate to mount a reflector -- I don't like having a light that far forward. My headlight is a Planet Bike Blaze 2W, designed to clamp on a handlebar. To mount my light on the rack, I use a Velo Orange

Hmm I prefer the Gino Mount to the nitto one, it is a little fatter and mounts through the mount rather than from the back like the nitto version. Got mine on Amazon for 15 bucks. The front part of my rack is occupied by the platrack. On Mar 17, 2012 11:38 AM, Lisa ukulele.l...@mac.com wrote:

A warning: I've had two rear blinkies mounted on one of those adaptors fling themselves off the mount, hit the ground and explode after the rear tire hit admittedly egregiously large (6 wide, 3 deep) expansion cracks at 15+ mph. It seems that the moment or leverage of the very rearward location

I just purchased an origin 8 light mount for my Nitto M-12 and it was the wrong size. I had to drill a larger hole in it and add threads. http://www.origin-8.com/?page_id=91short_code=Eyelet+Stub+Light+Mountcl1=LIGHTS+%26+REFLECTORS I just used the handlebar mount that came with my Princeton

Anne, Not that complicated if you talked to Peter White he'd make sure you get the correct combination, but pretty much any light now will have some kind of fork-crown mount either with it or for a few bucks more. Any of the fork-crown mounts will work with the nitto on the front.

Anne I've not read all the replies so you might have gotten the answer you wanted. But here's my IQ Cyo mounted on my Nitto Mini--purchased from Rivendell. Not sure what you meant when you said except for IQ Cyo so here goes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cwmcmillen/6867520015/in/photostream
