    It will but its a little bigger than the joystick and the file pattern makes it difficult. Think someone on here machined theirs down in a lathe for a better/easier fit.

    Unless you have a funny shaped helmet where the vents don't point forwards, you'd surely be better off using velcro zip ties or similar to attach it. Lower down on the helmet means you won't catch it on things, and it just feels a lot more secure than a proper mount. On my helmet it is easy to adjust the up/down angle, just by mounting it further back on the vent.

    easy to swap battery at half time tho, and its nice not to have any wires either. It has a more focused beam than the dedicated BX bike light making it ideal for a helmet light – Only downside is the 220g weight of the thing.

    Yes but you can stop and change batteries or rig up a long leed to a battery pack attached to your frame.
