Best rear light to mount on seat stays

[OvertheHill]

No room on my seat post so I'm looking for a good light that will mount to the offside seat stay - any suggestions?

How thick are the stays?

My Smart Superflash comes with a smaller bracket & shims & fits nicely to the Giant's stays. Not sure it would on a thinner steel frame.

About half an inch at a guess

+1 for the Smart 1/2 watt super flash!

This one is a bit of a no brainer really, its cheap and shockingly bright!

Hmm. I'll have a squint at the Giant stays - I've a feeling they're thicker than that, but the bracket may well go smaller. If you're in Manchester centre, you can always have a look yourself, give me a shout via PM, happy to pop out at lunch.

Smart. Bracket is very adaptable. I have the same model on my Brompton seat stay and an oversize Dale stay.

I have a smart on the chainstay of the fixed, but I've had to use a different bracket as the stay angle prevented me from using the OEM mount as the light wouldn't sit straight - no great problem.....bits bin sorted that.

+1 for the Smart brackets, on my commuter in winter I mount the superflash on the seat post and use the spare seat stay bracket to mount another smart light.

Smart Superflash - apart from anything you get the seat post and stay bracket in the packet.

Another vote for the Smart Superflash!
