Megan Robertson Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Hi all, I recently upgraded bikes and now have a aero setup. I am struggling to find a light that'll fit on the aero handlebars? Unfortunately my garmin computer mount does not have space for light attachment at the bottom of it. anyone have any recommendations on where to find a light/ and light mount? It’s starting to get darker each early morning ride now!

droo Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Find a Garmin mount with a gopro fitting on the bottom. What bar / stem combo do you have?
The Ouzo Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Megan, once you have that new front light, please consider using it everytime you ride on the road, regardless of ambient light at the time.

And then you need a light with a GoPro adapter (possibly the Bontrager Ion Pro) This looks like it ticks the boxes - not sure if they are available here though. https://k-edge.com/shop/road/k-edge-garmin-integrated-handlebar-system-ihs-combo-mount/ Edited February 21 by splat
wolf1969 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Ideally you want a 2 in 1 solution that works as both a Garmin mount and a light mount - as per image from Splat above. It fits below the aero bar. Depending on your bar, you might have a custom option available. You then need a GoPro adapter and a light which is compatible with that setup (Bontrager make a light which is great when it works - but I'd not recommend it - I have had 3 Bontrager light failures). I'm currently running a Blackburn Dayblazer 1000 which is much better value - but any light with GoPro adapter will work. It mounts upside down which makes it a bit more tricky to operate, but keeps the uncluttered aero experience. I use it whenever I am on the bike - day or night. splat 1
dardo82 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 https://www.takealot.com/forza-light-camera-attachment-for-garmin-forza-out-front-compute/PLID91185956 This can also be attached directly to the underneath of the bars, if you already have the garmin mount covered.

Their mounts are usually modular as well, so if you switch computer brands you'll just need to swap out an insert. splat 1
Megan Robertson Posted February 21 Author Posted February 21 Thank you all! I managed to get the Forza gopro attachment and put it underneath my K-edge garmin mount! Appreciate everyones input! 🙏🏽 splat and wolf1969 2
