What's the point of an aero seatpost if you're going ruin it all by adding the colossal weight of a set of lights?

So you can be seen in the dark?

The Fibre flares are quite slim really.

nobody's going to catch you with an aero seatpost, so why would you want a light on the back ?

Knog LED. Small stretchy and very bright.

Can you not just clip it to your camelback or saddlebag?

I was going to suggest the Knog but was beaten to it. Cheapo versions are available from China via deal extreme and ebay.

Considering the same thing at the moment. Considering using a cable tie on the saddle rails and clipping an LED light to it. Seems to work as the position forces the back of the light in to the seat post. Protect the post from scratches with a rubber tab between them. Light sits under the saddle out of the airflow.

Not tested it in anger yet but will on Thursday night.

i have 3 tesco lights which i fit into the vents of my helmet, 2 flashing 1 constant. They work a treat and makes you highly visible, do not ruin the looks of your bike and keep you 100% aero ๐Ÿ™‚
