no calves Posted August 31, 2016 Share Hi Guys Is there currently anybody offering a saddle rail mount for a rear light like the Lupine light. I know there is a few choices abroad but is there any in RSA? perhaps a market for someone with CAD skills and a 3d printer.... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J∆kk∆ls Posted August 31, 2016 Share If you have a Fizik Saddle you can use a compatible rear light that slips in. Works like a charm! TNT1 and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barend de Arend Posted August 31, 2016 Share What I did: Buy a 25mm pvc pipe (you can get them anywhere), and cut a few cm of pipe out and jam it between the rails horizontally. Now you can mount any bicycle light to that PVC pipe, because 25mm is basically a narrow seatpost. I'll try and take photos tomorrow. The bike is in the shop today. I did that because of a dropper post. Duane_Bosch, Pulse and Sepia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted August 31, 2016 Share I just wrapped a zip tie around the rails and hooked the light on that- worked fine for the whole of trans baviaans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that saddle & light too, but also zip tied a light to my helmet. It's a USB rechargable Ryder Baron.http://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights/baron-rear-detail.

lechatnoir Posted August 31, 2016 Share if you mount a light on your saddle, where do you put you saddle bag? fanievb, Darrynbp, slickjay007 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J∆kk∆ls Posted August 31, 2016 Share I would not mount a light to my helmet. It was pricy enough to keep it light and in the event of an accident I'm sure a foreign object would cause complications. Pulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted September 1, 2016 Share if you mount a light on your saddle, where do you put you saddle bag? Where you usually have your bag in relation to your light(sabre)... it hang below it Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted September 5, 2016 Share If you have a Fizik Saddle you can use a compatible rear light that slips in. 806_33517_bqs_zoom.jpg Works like a charm! Also have one of these, it works brilliantly. Easy to swop from bike to bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted June 21, 2020 Share Reviving an old thread: Any progress in products or technology ? I am looking for a reasonably priced light that I can mount on my saddle rails. Giant's Recon TL 100 or 200 aren't in stock.I don't use a Fizik any more, so my Cateye Rapid 3 (shown above) is for sale. Any other suggestions ?
