I use these with some innertube to secure fit.

They are cheap and the quality is not great but I have 2 of them and another on the way and so far they have held up fine.
I also have one of these on the way.

The twofish lockblocks are good too but I do not have one.

I'm looking for clean mounting solutions for a L2D headlight and a L1D taillight. I have the red filter for the taillight. I just need solid mounting solutions. I want the headlight on the bike, not my helmet
Show and describe your setups!
It's not my set-up, but I'm considering the Fenix, too and just found this: http://nordicgroup.us/s78/flashlights.html

The second one won't work on the handlebars, only the stem. Maybe areo bars or bar ends.
The light is going the same direction as the bar it mounts to.

The second one mounts to a helmet reasonably well, depending on the helmets shape. It mounts to a stem aswell but you may have to adjust it a little if the stem is pointing up or down too much. The quality seems good too and better than the DX bar mount. :thumbsup:
Cheers!

Nice.

Hi guys
I have twofish lockblocks on the bars and find it to be an excellent product. They can also hold a Dereelight chL1 securely. By the way if you want extra range but a little more concentrated beam try the Dereelight 3sd with 18650 batteries, it gets about 4 hours on medium I also have an O ring copied from the Dinotte mounting system and put that on as well. I tried the fenix bike mount, it was useless, I tried a second one at the sellers request and it was just as bad
I highly recommend lockblocks

Thats an Ultrafire C2, but its been replaced by the Aurora AK-P7 5mode from DX. Thats not all, check this
Seriously tho I don't have all of them on the bike at the same time.

F22shift, do you find that the light touches the back of you're thighs if the saddle is far back?
Thanks!
Thanks!
This site belongs to another CPF member and has some great photos of Fenix lights mounted with lock blocks: http://www.ruscelli.com/biking_fenix.htm
I don't have photos handy but I use the lock blocks and they are great (and cheap). I can't imagine a better system.

You can never say there aren't enough photographs on that page!
Just remembered, I've seen a light (L2D size) mounted to a bike with a livestrong wristband.

Doh! Stole my thunder...
For the photos on the site, the initial ones actually show the lights mounted too far forward in the lockblocks. Best to slide them back farther to get a better balance (like in my signature line, where the lights are shown mounted directly to the handlebar rather than using a spacebar).
I can always add more... :naughty:
I usually feel that if I'm going to break out the camera, I might as well take a bunch of shots. Unfortunately, I tend to follow that same philosophy about "posting" photos, too. Oh, well...better too many than too few.

Having tried these plus the DX mount, the lockblocks are my preferred mounts.

lockblocks for me. I have one secured permanently to my helmet w/ zip ties, though if I leave the velcro on it tends to catch on trees, so I make sure to remove that!
