Right. I have one of my IQ-Xs mounted on a metal fork crown mount from another light. The other is mounted to a dedicated mounting point on a front rack. I haven’t used the factory-supplied IQ-X bracket. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com > On Dec 29,

Perhaps. But that part hasn't changed either. It's also made of the same polybrimolated plasticky stuff that seems to be quite tough. Hmm, polybrimolation. Sounds technical! PJW On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 1:51 PM, Eric Norris wrote: > I think the writer was referring to the metal bracket that fas

I think the writer was referring to the metal bracket that fastens to the bike, not the plastic part that wraps around the body of the light. FWIW, I haven’t had any troubles with the IQ-X lights I’ve installed on two different bikes. The plastic part seems plenty strong, given that the unit it

Your IQ-X has a metal mounting bracket? I wonder if they changed the design from the first production units. Mine (an early one) has a one-piece split plastic mounting ring with plastic tabs. Can you take a picture of yours? Anton velolumino.com On Wednesday, December 28, 2016 at 2:21:32 PM UT

The lens/reflector cover is plastic. If it is like the Cyo lenses, it will survive winter fine. It will eventually get scratched and yellow from environmental exposure. However, a headlight restoration kit from the auto parts store will fix it right up, based on my experience with the Ixon and C

The lens is plastic. You can use any 6 volt Busch & Müller, Schmidt or Spanninga taillight with it. If you use a Supernova taillight, the taillight will have no standlight. I don't know about other brands of taillights, but most should work. Peter White On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 3:05 AM, lum gim f

I've been riding with the IQ-X for a couple weeks now and LOVE it. For me, the best thing about it is the fact that it cuts through the shadows and bright areas during urban riding for a consistent view of the road/irregularities (due to its bright output). Two thumbs up. -- You received thi

My IQ-X does seems flash a bit more at very low speeds than my other LED dyno lights. I attribute that to the brighter LED, which probably requires a little more power to light up. Anyway, we’re talking walking speed here—get on the bike and start riding and the headlight lights up like any ot

Right. Sort of an unfortunate design when combined with the fact that the light is always on. The ideal behavior is that light would somehow suppress the bright light unless it had enough power to keep it on for several seconds. Sort of an inverse standlight. Best, William On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at
