Fenix TK40 and Twofish Cyclopblock

[eala]

Has anybody tried to combine a Fenix TK40 with a Twofish Cyclopblock? How stable is it? I am looking to do this for commuting purposes.

Thanks.

Two Fish has 4 models, parallel (straight/straight) and perpendicular (straight/right angle), with two sizes of each. For handlebars, the right angle models are ideal, just make sure you get the larger size to handle the TK40:

Thanks. The next trick is to find a vendor in Canada. Waiting for a reply on that one from Twofish. I will get the big one.

I buy them two at a time and currently have an extra. Send me a private message if your source is dry.

4Seven's sells them in sets of 3...I highly recommend this. my first purchase was a set of parrallel and a set of right-angled two fishblocks (cyclobock and lockblock?) Getting 6 pieces at once let me set up my and my partner's bike (incorporateing previous no-name blocks from dx) and still have a few left over. for $14, it's totally worth the extra options you get with spare twofish blocks.

Where can you mount it? depends on your cycling. For urban riding you'll be fine on the handle bars. Anything off-road, IMHO, the way to mount this is to the main spar (torch head at the forks, tailcap towards the seat post). I've found even my MG PLI too heavy for aggressive cycling (as in, the light has too much mass and moves around) so no way a tk40 can do a handlebar mount. Mounting to the frame is awesome, p7 I put there never wobbles.

Best,
Linger

4sevens sell the lockblocks, not the cyclopblock. I am an urban rider hitting the occasional curb. I'm thinking I may just build something creative to mount it. I think it will be too heavy for either of the twofish designs. Thanks for the ideas on mounting locations.

I was emailing with the guy at twofish; seems he was not too willing to ship to canada. No bother. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Your welcome, definately go with the frame mounting!

If you balance it right it will hold on your handlebars but I don't recommend it.
I used this

a spare pvc pipe clamp apparently called a 'worm clamp rivet.' I used this wrapping around the side of the block for more hold then velcro provides.
I've seen DYI'ers that used two worm clamp rivets 90degrees, one holding the handlebar the other holding the light. A very cheap improve that will scratch your bar and your light but hold like a mofo.


Here ya go. As promised, 4sevens does sell two versions, I just used the wrong name.
