Thanks! My first thought for attaching the Cyo was to try Benedikt's simple solution of attachment via the provided bracket to the hole at the front of the mini-rack. There is a lot to be said for simplicity. It's simple and the price is right! However, it seems mechanically inelegant to have the light at the end of a long stem subject to increased vibrations and accidental knocks. Not much bracket extension is necessary to get beyond the end of the small Sackville trunksack. The noted options including fork mount via a Gino's light mount, or attachment to the side of the rack, especially with a shorter, more rigid replacement for the stock Cyo bracket are desirable, but I think I'll start with "simple." Anyone find the front of the mini-rack an unacceptable attachment point for a Cyo?
