As the evenings grow darker, I’ve dug my lights out and realised that there’s nowhere to stick my wee blinky rear light on my new bike!
My usual night rides involve a mile or so along a busy, unlit A road then onto about 6 miles of unlit farm roads before I get into Stirling to meet up with the gang, so I need a good bright rear light. The one that I currently use and love because its blown me away for brightness and accessibility is the Metro Flash Danger Zone….although looking at it on Amazon now, it seems to have quadrupled in price since I got it in 2012!!! 😯
Anyway, my point being, I can’t fit my wee Metro Flash to my shiny new dropper seatpost, and the humungous 27.5 wheels on my new Orange Four would obscure the light even if I could find a big enough clamp to go around the seat tube. What do you folks do? I was wondering if there are any generic saddle rail clamps that’ll take a rear lamp? The Metro Flash has a clip for going onto a strap on a bag, but my camelback doesn’t have anything handy for that.
Failing that, can anyone recommend a nice bright rear light that’ll securely fit to the underside of my saddle?
Cheers for any help!
