The recent time change has it dark for the early part of my ride. I have tail-lights like crazy, but the years have taken their toll and I don't have a headlamp for those first few minutes of the ride before the sun shows its face. I am thinking of getting through the next few weeks with an improvised headlamp. I have a heavy duty mini MagLite from my days as Rock N Roller and / or Roadie. Has anyone ever mounted one of these gracefully? My goal is to be seen, not to illuminate the pavement. Extra points to someone who can show me how to do it with my John's Irish Strap. Cheers, Sean My home-built LED light is basically a flashlight-like tube, and it's currently mounted with two stainless hose clamps. Use a 1" clamp for the bar and whatever size needed to fit the light. Open one clamp and loop through the second, so they make a right angle. One gets clamped around the light, and the other around the handlebars. Not the most elegant system, but certainly durable. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
