handlebar mount

TomBrown · Sep 29, 2005

Hi:

I'm looking for a certain style of handlebar mount. Does anyone know where I could source a couple of these?

I see there are two different types of mounts on that website. Anyone know which one (if either) will work with a PD ?

cy · Sep 29, 2005

two fish blocks are the best by a large margin!

will easily support a 2C mag

Pic's: FT3C with 150+ lumen red luxeon, will blind in daylight 6hrs runtime
Surefire U2 100+ lumens running 18650 for backup & helmet light.

I have two of the "other" clamps shown in emilion's site, but one of them already broke (after 2-3 weeks of use). I got the chance to see one of those twofish clamps the other day and they look really nice and sturdy, and with the velcro you can attach a variety of sizes of lights without spacers or anything else.

$7.99 + S&H

If anyone is going to order a twofish, please let me know and we can split the shipping costs.

I'd be interested in splitting an order also. There's also the possiblity that my local Performance shop or Nashbar shop might carry them and we could avoid S&H altogether. I can check this weekend if you guys can wait.

Same here. I picked up three quick release clamps a few weeks ago. Two are broken. One is still perfect.

Thanks for the help, gents.

what you want is the twofish block set to mount a bike Ulock. this set of three twofish blocks is identical to the single for $8ea. but you get three for $10 on sale.

go to Nashbar.com and search twofish

that's where I got the three twofish clamps you see in my pic's. works great for a helmet light mount too.

my only regret was I only got one set. should have got two sets

loalight · Sep 30, 2005

Yep, CY, I've been using those little rubber blocks on my bike for a few years now. I also got them for a U-lock mount.. they work perfectly, are lightweight, and compact.

Hikaru · Sep 30, 2005

For anyone whose thinking of ordering:

10% off Code: TKA6 Exp 10/31/05.

BTW, I have a SuperGo and Performance around me (not a Nashbar) I'll check them this weekend but neither carries TwoFish on their websites. So Nashbar might be the way to go.

greenLED · Sep 30, 2005

CY, that's sneaky, I like it!
So, the 3 clamps, are the all cyclopclamps? I got confused by loalight's reference to rubber clamps.

if you purchase the twofish Ulock set. you will get three twofish blocks.

I had the guy at nashbar pull the two part numbers to make sure they both are the same part.

with set you will get two different length straps. which you will need for different sized lights and attachment points.

best $10 I've spent in a while. only drawback is high shipping charges. since I needed a Roadmorph pump and conti tires anyways for a larger order.

Bentheadtx has been using twofish blocks for sometime to mount minimag to helmet and 2D mag to frame

Initially, what confused me about your suggestion to get the Ulock set, was that I thought it wouldn't hold the light in the right orientation. I thought it would be 90 degrees off. But then I realized that TwoFish has two models of lock holders: one for the handlebars (TF-LB) and one for the downtube (TF-MB). With the handlebar model you'll get the two mounts which are oriented correctly, but the downtube version is only one block and it's going the wrong way.
Just thought I'd post for anyone else who was confused.

Yeah, it's a little odd to pay $5 for a $10 item. If anyone's willing to do a GB, count me in for at least one set. Even if these we re-mailed using Priority Mail, it'd be cheaper.

I just checked shipping from Nashbar:
12 items: $10
6 items: $8
3 items: $6.45
1 item: $5

Maybe I can find a bike light I like...

cy · Oct 2, 2005

all three twofish blocks in set are correct orientation.

note straps will be different lengths. 4 long and 2 short straps.

my recomendation is get a set of three for each person. don't split up the set. it's only $10 for a set and you will use them.

I regret not buying two sets. I'll be ordering another set real soon.

Lurveleven · Oct 2, 2005

Count me in for 2 sets if anyone is doing a GB.

greenLED · Oct 3, 2005

Lurveleven, do you have a US-based addy, or would these have to be forwarded to Norway? A large Global Priority envelope is $9, the small one is $4-5 (I forget exactly).

Lurveleven · Oct 3, 2005

They will have to be forwarded to Norway. They can be sent with Airmail letter post for $0.8 each oz.
