Light Mount, Part 5 -- Official
For some time now, DiNotte has been selling their wonderful tail light without a decent mount. Enterprising individuals have taken to making their own, and have come up with some pretty cool ways to attach this crazy bright flasher to their bikes. See HERE for some examples.
DiNotte has also been pestered by consumers to produce a mount. They have responded. (See, companies do listen to the consumers!)
This is what it'll look like -- as usual, click the image for a bigger version:
It mounts to the seat post via the same type of o-ring that the light itself uses. This should make it fit any seat post out there and it should be vary light as well. I'm not sure about the availability, but as soon as I do know anything, I'll update this post.
And yes, the quick release on the brake is open.
Switching gears a little, I received the box shown below earlier this week. I'll be talking about it next week. Care to guess what it is?

Looks like a good solution. I like that it isn't too high on the seat post, but also not too low. It also looks straight-forward to mount the light.
My solution (a piece of PVC tubing you posted a picture of) isn't as quick to remove/attach as I'd like (when I arrive at work I need to take all the removable items off my bike).
I have found a mounting system that uses a pump mount. It allows the light engine to be snapped in or out without using the O rings. I think it is a more finished system. The picture is on my cross bike. I have also mounted it to my road bike with a clamp on to the Seat tube.
