bradjackson Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I have had many comments on the O-ring mounting system which the current Magicshine lights use.I'd like to hear your opinions on whether this system works, or whether you'd prefer to see some other type of mount.
splat Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 The O rings tend to wobble around and slowly slide when things get bumpy. A screw on with Quick Release is a good idea
GLuvsMtb Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Brad Thank you for constantly looking to improve the product. The O-ring system didn't work that well for me on the Trans Baviaans. With all the shakes during the day, I ended up having to tape the light to the handlebar with insulation tape 1/2 way through, as it kept on moving from the oversized section in the middle to the sides. And yes, I used the correct size O-ring. The helmet system worked slightly better but can be improved. It seems to "drop" while riding and I had to re-adjust my light 4 or 5 times during the night. I also have a Hope 1 light and the quick release clamp mechanism works very well, although I haven't tried using it for 4 hrs plus in race conditions.
Bike Lore Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 it kind of works on the Mj808 because the light is balanced but it wobbles when the ride get shaky. the Mj816 is to top heavy and it rotates forward and wobbles to the side on not so ruff roads aswel. I have been looking out for a better mount that is cheap but so far has not found anything. It would be a gr8 improvement if one can get a quick release clamp system similar to the prinentech lights. also the light should be in the middle of the handle bar not on the side. is tend to shine to the side the way it is. o and if anyone is looking for some high and ultra batteries go to this link Magic Shine / Light Ultra batteries
