S5 rear light
Postby warthog1 » Thu Jan 09, 2014 5:33 pm
The light is pretty bright and seems user friendly, pretty happy at this stage.

But the S5 is not light mount friendly, mount my lights on the saddle bag, backpack and helent. Yes three light facing rear!
Motorist apear to be bicycle blind, hopefully multiple flashing lights may catch their eye and make a difference.

I have one on my Propel SL, and don't believe there are any brandings on the light itself so it should look great on the S5.

I bought one of these just to check it out... Mounts well but I wouldn't use it as a main light... Way too dull to put my life in its hands... Although I home brewed up a secure mount for around the aero seatpost, I know just just a helmet mounted light as my primary light. After trialing the RedZone 8 I don't need anything else except a backup in my pocket in case of failures...Ray1684 wrote:Have you tried the Numen Aero Rear Light which was designed for Giant? they fit well on the aero seatpost/frames.

Doesn't need to be that particular light - just any light with a silicone strap system, with the Sugru providing the perfect mould that stays bonded to the light.

So, the comet will go on the commuter bike.
I got a Moon LX-70 as an alternate and it comes with rubber pads to fit aero posts. did a quick test and it looks like an almost perfect match. Will post up some pics as soon as I have put the aero pad onto the light (you need to unscrew the default pad and swap it over with one of the two others). If the fit is a bit wobbly, I will get some Sugru to make it a perfect fit.

Pretty nice fit with the LX70 light. No extra mucking about required.
