Any solutions for a better fixing?

Bought loads from c&b ( great service and quick delivery) but fed up of losing them...

Thin cable tie? Works for me, although it could get a bit wasteful if I didn't basically fit them for the winter.

Go on ebay and search "bike silicone elastic strap bandage" ๐Ÿ™‚

[Sorry I can't give a link as ebay's blocked from here]

Check your light out, the mount on it should unbolt - and you can then bolt this on.
Might need a longer or shorter bolt depending...

Obviously, phoning an O-ring supplier & [i]speaking nicely[/i] to the nice lady & asking for [i]samples for a project[/i] is not to be condoned.

Improvise with a piece of old inner tube?

I made a mount using my old vistalite bar mount - screws into base of light using screw that comes with light - works perfectly if you can find a vistalite hanging around somewhere

Here's a quote from a friend of mine... I haven't investigated further:

It appears that multisize Silicone Cock Rings are just perfect just like big O rings really and at a fiver for three and different size diameter means I've got new mounting brackets and that fit differing size points t a fraction of the cost!

Just putting that out there, as it were.

btw those O rings are great at keeping the top hat washer in place for GXP BBs
