Clamps for torches on bicycles

Does anyone know of any webby that sells the above? would like to fit my c3 and/or e2d on my bicycle

http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?brand=0994&init=y should be availbe at other bike websites but im to lazy to look

Looking at the Twofish products, I wonder if instead of ordering two separate lockblocks for about $7.99 each, one could order the set of 3 lockblocks intended to hold a U-lock for only $10.99?

Anyone have better information on this? The Twofish website doesn't give much in the way of specifications or detailed photos.

Funny you folks should mention it. There is a Group Buy running right now for bike light holders. I've been eyeing the Twofish lockblock for a while but have always been too lazy to bother with the hassle of international shipping, but Emilion does ship overseas so it's all good..

i wonder if it has a very good mounting. I mean i do cycle in some very rough terrain at night too... don't want my torch to be slowly facing downwards...

Atom, I was wondering the same... Altho I haven't gotten round to trying to order one of the lockblocks yet, but I would imagine maybe putting some 'Blu-Tack' stuff (or similar) on the clamp that clamps on your handlebar, that way it should stop it from sliding/slipping I think... But in terms of grip on the light, it sould clamp on pretty well. I think Kiessling had some pics of a big LedLenser light (IIRC 2-3 D cell size) on a lockblock, mounted vertically on a door handle to show that it holds the light tight enough.

Hi all! Newbie here!
I am into biking & alot of night rides. Other than reliability factor, I found 1 problem with the mounting mentioned above, a "quick release" feature, essential when u park your bike in public places. IMO, convenient removal of light from handlebar (against theft) should be a good feature in any bike mounting bracket, especially with some valuable flashlight!

agree totally with that ability to REMOVE the light.
after torturing lights on my gas scooter, i gave up and stuck them on my (law required) helmet.
because i take the helmet with me, for secuirty , and it can light where i view that worked out good.

nice idea vidpro... The nearer the light to your eyes, the less shadows you'll see

This is the one I have:

Link to Globetrotter.de

It has been very cheep (around 2.6$)

In euro?
Do u mean the entire light + bracket?

Powershot, hotlinking isn't allowed, please remove the pic or host it yourself...

The clamp is sold without the light btw. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

You may try this. I've been using this for weeks. I fell off the bike once in a DH, but my L5 was still mounted firmly.

And that light is just for "I'm here!", can't light up your path~

The mount I'm preparing for GroupBuy 100% fits a E2D. I've tried it with mine. I don't have a C3, but I can mount my L5 with this mount(Mount between combat grip and Tail Cap)

Sorry BART, didn't know about that. Link deleted
This bracket is neat & "quick-releaseable", a practical choice to mount flashlights! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I can testify on this from personal experience.

I thought the same thing and order some lockblocks AND the ulock kit.

The ulock blocks are different. The straps are shorter, the velcro's not as good, and the buckles are weaker.

Buy the lockblock.

I use a lockblock and surefire L4 as a backup when night riding on trails. It has stayed put over terrain that will rattle your teeth.

Highly recommended.

I have the Globetrotter thingy. It works good, is installed quickly and it´s cheap. Problem is, a Surefire L4/E2e etc. doesn´t fit in it (flashlight´s too small in diameter). You need some stuffing material, e. g. duck tape around the flashlight or hard foam attached to the holder. That´s done in seconds, for emergency situations, toilet paper will do it, too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
The L4 works good as a bike light if biking on good paths and not too fast. Kind of "normal biking" that would be, I guess...

I have the flashlight mount same to the Emilion selling now at Group buy trade but mine bought from Waion. This mount is good for the value. I fix mine with 6P at bottom of the handlebar.
