Stupak Posted November 16, 2020 Share Any good recommendations for lights that are compatible with these mounts? I have a Varia, but it doesn't last more than an hour anymore, and its very expensive to replace.Go look at the Recon lights from ‘Giant’. They all come with an adaptor so that it can mount to a GoPro Mount. I.e. see: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/recon-hl1600-2019 There is a whole range of lumens. Everything in the box. I have giant lights for front/rear and can confirm they are well built, bright, long battery, and reasonably priced.

Knersboy Posted November 16, 2020 Share This. I have the mount and can mount my Varia, I am just looking to replace the Varia light. In that case then as I said, Lezyne lights will work. You screw off the mount it comes with, screw on the GoPro adaptor majobby and bobs you uncle. I have this set;https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/lezyne-connect-smart-ktv-pro-combo/Nice in that they are semi smart. Don’t connect to the Garmin but you can control the rear light with the front light which I find useful. Of course you can buy them separate too and there are different sizes. I actually wanted the smaller one as I only use it for day time flash during all road rides, but Evobikes messed it up and sent me the bigger one instead and were kind enough to let me keep it as they no longer had the one I wanted in stock.

Solid build quality, well priced and good battery life. Stupak and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchelicious Posted November 16, 2020 Share Yes, see attached pics.Looks like this little bad boy could work? https://www.upgradebikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Lights/Accessories/Go-Pro-LED-Adapter/Lezyne-Go-Pro-LED-Adapter-Black-L-1-LED-GPAD-V104?gclid=Cj0KCQiA48j9BRC-ARIsAMQu3WSeopjxczQsI3o1dalrOUbHYiRXLfoSVEvJxcZgYeYRKgbwgdQ1SEwaAtFyEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked Evobikes numerous times, they didn’t even bother to respond. Bike Addict we’re kind enough to respond, but said they couldn’t get them, same from LBS. I then ordered two through Merlin cycles, the dispatch got messed up and they were returned to them and I got a refund. It really is a sordid saga. Then a kind hubber 3D printed me like 5 simple mounts for mahala that work like a charm. Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are normally a couple of these in the mount kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
