Is there someway to mount this light to a rear rack? Or perhaps the clip works with an adapter like this one:http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-Tail-Light-Bracket/dp/B000IQEAK2Thanks!

The part of that bracket that connects to the light looks just like the bracket I had it in; I bet it would work. A more Rube Goldberg solution would be to attache a strip of leather or nylon webbing to the back of the rack and clip the light onto that.

It fits my Planet Bikes seat post bracket, but it won't snap in to the little latch - might pop out on a hard bump. I suspect it would have the same issue with the Planet Bikes rack bracket. I have the same issue you have and am not sure why all Tailight makers don't offer a rack bracket as standard.

We too, wish it came with a mount for a rack. It doesn't snap into the other rack mount adapters like the Planet Bike or Portland Design Works. Looks like it's zipties for now.

These lights use the same clip system just like portland designs dangerzone and radbot. I almost guarantee that if a planet bike superflash will work, then it will work for this light too.

I just clipped my light to one of the rear brake wires at the back of my seat & it has stayed on & not fallen off. Best of luck w/yours. The light is small but is quite visible b/c of the light output...it is very bright.

Poor brake light performance, they're only very slightly brighter in break-light mode than basic, parking, tail light mode. To me, that's a safety issue. I don't use them, threw them away. Save your money, it's junk. You'd want really BRIGHT(!) LEDs in brakelights b/c they light up a tiny bit faster then incandescents - which just might save your rear end. For taillight, parking lights they are useless except for longevity and electrical consumption - should you forget to turn your parking lights off, and your car doesn't have an auto shut-off.

I use a light similiar to this one- Serfas Seat Stay Taillight. The rubber bands easily go around the rear frame of the bike rack.

There is a helpful video on YouTube for this. Just enter product name in the search. It was helpful to me that they showed best way to mount the reflector: put it on the socket first with logo positioned on the side as when the light is in the upright position. Then add the wire rods with the velco'd corner one going last.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

I have this light and it attaches to the handlebar base very tightly. You just need to pull down (somewhat hard) on the tab on the base and push the light forward towards the front of the bike at the same time. It takes a bit of effort, but it will come off.

Raymond, I have a jeep with a tail light assembly that sticks up behind my spare tire (on the inside next to the rear window). The bike rack would not fit over my spare tire because this assembly got in the way.

For me I just set the rounded depression on the bottom of the light on the handle bar. I took the smaller rubber band and wrapped it over the front groove of the mount, then stretched it under the bar and over the groove on the back of the mount. The tension in the rubber band held it tightly in place. Please tell me what is happening for you and I will try to help.

Yes, that strap you see going across the back with their nametag on it is built for clip-on lights. I've got a Blinky attached there and it works for me.

No. You can't attach it to back. There are mounting spaces on back. You can rotate the front light. It turns @ 180 degrees.

If your bicycle doesn't have the threaded eyelets mentioned in the other posts, there are some available products that will do the trick. There are two products listed on Amazon, XLC Seatpost Clamp With Rack Mount and Sunlite Mono Stay Adapter, that attach to the seat post and provide two places to attach the support braces. There is another product listed on Amazon, Dimension Seatstay Rack Clamps, which clamps around the seatstay bars. Regardless of which method you use, the rear rack support arms will need to be bent into the correct position. This is not a design flaw with the rack, rather, it is an issue that comes from designing a rack to fit multiple bike frames. Good Luck!

I am afraid I misled you by my previous answer (or rather misled myself). I had saved the item when I got rid of the bike and looked at it in the garage and realized I had confused it with another light I had tied onto the bike seat. This one I HAD put on the round metal seat post. It comes with a rubber bind inside the clamp but it was not enough to secure the light so I found some thicker binding and put it in along with the rubber one and attached it to the post. It was very, very tight on the post and never moved when riding. (Sorry about the earlier misleading post.)

It can if you get creative, the mounting that comes with it is just for a seat post, but like you I wanted it on my rack so I a 1" piece of scrap tube and zip tied it to the underside of my rack and mounted it to that. At a glance you can't even tell that's what it is, only the lights show off the back, that's just my two cents, hope it helped.

I used this light bar mount I got it from ebay. But I paid like less then 200 for it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/171145008107?nav=RVI&sbk;=1

It does not fit "ANY" pedal. I had a set of pedals that it did not fit. I don't know about your particular application but the pedal must have two holes on on side to attach the clip with screws. Some pedals have these holes under a reflector which can be removed so that the clip can be attached and that works well but some pedals have a recess where the reflector mounts and that prevents the clip from attaching correctly. In addition, I have found that for myself these clips are too short and one of them seems to be improperly made so that it forces my foot to point in the wrong direction when pedaling. This is causing some strain on my knee. I have ordered a different set from Avenir which seem to be better made (and are a little more expensive). I have not received them yet so I cannot comment on their quality.

The clip has a relatively small opening. I doubt it. Also with a spinning bike and the movement, I would pick a light that has a sturdier "neck"

Unfortunately your having the same problem I and another friend have had. You can zip tie the light to the mounting bracket and still have the ability to remove the light ad bracket together and it will look a bit cleaner than tying it to the bars. It's not the lights best feature but we did get a lot of lumens for the price...not a bad deal still.
