Front Lights - A Mini Project

[Chr!s]

My old Cateye front light fell off on a ride home last week, and got run over by a couple of cars

So I decided to try something a bit different.

I ordered 2x of these Infini Compact Hyperlight LED | Buy Online | ChainReactionCycles.com and decided I wanted to mount them to my forks, bit like a adventure BMW GS kind-a-thing.

The main issue to overcome was the clamps being too small for the diameter of the fork tube.

Had a good rummage around my boxes of bits from various hobbies and found a a couple of lengths of M3 studding and lock nuts.

Perfect fit with a slight bend.

Then to do the same on the other side.

The final result when switched on.

Awesome
The new handlebar light is one of these Electron Micro 5 Front LED EHP216 | Buy Online | ChainReactionCycles.com

A quick video with all 3 switched on constant and flashing (enough to cause a fit!)

Tidier than my garage. At least he can get a bike in and walk around it.
