My preferred solution in that case would be to very carefully align the light holders on all my bikes, and try to come up with a way to snap the light into the holder in such a way that it doesn't affect the alignment of the holder at all. You do get geek points for using Aerogel, though.
oh man each day when I get out of work, I scramble to:
drive home, fill camelbak, pick a bike, mount GPS, air up tires, get in bike clothes,
take a dump, mix gatorade, adjust shoes, check temp and carry what I need clothes-wise,
apply bug spray if going into woods, and get the hell out riding as fast as possible.
other days I add minor trail maintenance like: which pruners ? Felco or my others...Silky BigBoy saw
or a small corona...it is a small project to actually get home and ride. when I do ride I am in
100% ride mode though, it is all worth it. with food and water I could do a 24 hour race every
single time I roll out because I completely switch to bike rider mode. takes 30 minutes as it is
I don't want anything more to monkey with if I can help it. I use a trinewt strap to just slap the light
onto whatever exposed piece of bar i have that doesn't interfere with riding. Aligning bike light mounts
is a pain in itself...the mount has to be in the right spot, battery strapped in somewhere, cable tucked away
somehow.....the less I have to screw with the more riding I can squeeze in before I get home and have
to shower, eat, calm down (hard to really sleep with the adrenaline from a 2-3 hour hammer fest in the blood)
the only thing I need to adjust is: rotation of strap by grabbing it and yanking it, and rotation of light
which is held on by an allen bolt and rubber gasket, it can twist left and right a bit before it actually loosens.
on some bikes I have odd angles and the light is mounted at a 45 degree sideways slope on some, and 90-135 on others,
and upside down on one bar on my road bikes...
