I'm thinking about using a dynamo light set-up for some riding Ive got coming up, and want to keep the bars as free as possible - and they'll have a front bag, stem bags, GPS etc on them already. I have a spare mount of the 3 on each side of the Firestarter - any suggestions to how to mount, say, a B+M lumotec lamp to that?

This would sit below most bar bags I suspect. I have it fitted to my Fargo.

A geno wouldnt work as the lumitecs nit designed to fit to a bar , its designed to go behind a crown mounted brake centre bolt

I wouldnt be tempted to try and bolt it in the same fashion to the anything cage boss on the fork leg as the light body will be close to tire and able to pivot into it if knocked.

I would be tempted to make a plate to go between the top two anything bolts and up over the tire for the light to mount to
