I have an issue about how to mount my rear light.
I have a Toppeak aero wedge bag.
This has a loop on the back for the light, however, when the light is attached it points up into the air.
I can't mount it on the seatpost as it is too full and it would be obscured by the wedge bag.
I thought about mounting it on one of the rear seat stays (where I have already remounted the rear reflector).
The problem is that of the 2 brackets supplied, 1 is too small and the other (seatpost one) is too large. I could add some packing to make the seatpost bracket fit the seat stay, but I would prefer it to be as high as posssible.
I came up with a compromise - I tiewrapped the small bracket to the wedge bag loop. This seems to be fine as the angle for the light is better. However, there is one small issue in the the light wobbles about a bit with the bag. It isn't moving a lot and always goes back to the correct position. Will it be OK?
Can others think of a better way of attaching the light?
I have attached some pictures to illustrate what I have done.
