Fitting rear light

[Pompey Princess]

HI Guys

Any advice on fitting a rear light??

Sounds daft but I have a seat post rack and panniers, thus ruling out attaching it to the seat post.

The panniers also get in the way of the additional stay fixing that came with it...

So does anyone have any suggestions as to how to attach to the rear (without being rude!)

It's a SMART Polaris 5 LED set I have...

Many thanks
Nicky

Does your pannier have a mounting plate at the end of it? If so you can buy a pannier mount for smart lights:

which takes those kidney ones and the smart half watt superflash as well.

(Just put one in my basket this morning for Mr Summerdays)

The Minoura SpaceGrip will fit on a seatpost placing lights below and behind the seatpack.

Cheers for the advice!

I didn't know they did a rear rack brackety thing! Will get ordering right away - cheers Summerdays.

I can't put it above or under the seat post rack cos I am so short, the only thing I can have on the seat post is the rack - otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the pedals!!!

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

All ordered!

Nice to know there's another local on here though!

Southampton is a much classier place I believe < rolls for cover>

 

[Pompey Princess]

classier?? not the word I would have chosen!!!

 

[Mortiroloboy]

I expected a more feisty response!

 

[ufkacbln]

Are you suggesting that there iss some sort of rivalry between Portsmouth and Southampton?
