Dynamo Lights

It is a repainted genesis equilibrium. still need to do the CP thread.

I need a bit of help and experience in finding where to attach lights.

I've got this B&M IQ-X but unsure whether I should attach it to the rack or to the cockpit. The former feels ideal but a rather risky location ; the latter could be obstructed by rack cargo and feels like a bodge, but at least it would seem safer... not sure what to think.

I've attached pictures of the two solutions below. For the rack mount, I'm not sure how I would actually attach it to the rack, so if you have recommendations there that would be smashing.

For the cockpit mount, I've got this GoPro mount I can use as a sort of décaleur but doesn't feel quite right, if you see what I mean.

I'd consider trying to get it snugly in one of the corners made by the uprights and platform of the rack - it should be more protected there and still give you the unobstructed beam. If you take the light position in the top picture, move the light towards the wheel, and back until the front of the light is flush with the front of the rack, it's where I mean.

Will need some custom bracket though ofc.

Also, it is designed so you can Mount it upside down by rotating the bracket.

I see what you mean. How does one go about the custom bracket sourcing/making issue?

Can i use B&M cables on Supernova lights?

You can use any cable for any light as long as the connectors are compatible. Unless you've got something really weird going on (3-core or high amps or something)

What tape should I use to stick my wire to the inside of my mudguard with?
Crystal clear gorilla tape? Something else?

Just ordered an IQ-XS. Anyone used one?

Yeah @youramericanlover

Give me the mount

Why clear? Anything that’s sticky!

Probably going to need that. You know, to mount it.

Why don't you just get this and angle it higher?

Well yes, give me

It doesn't come with that

Ffs

SJS sell them

You don’t really want one of these trust me, the fork crown bolt section is plastic and is useless when it comes to getting the bolt tight enough to stop it flopping left/right.

Get iq x instead. Brighter, same price, nearly the same size, can be mounted upside down. Oh yeah and doesn't have shit mount

The iq-x looks like a fleshlight x a hyper masculine razor.

The iq-xs looks light a light....

And is quite a bit cheaper, totally reliable and good enough.

I’ve got one. This is for the other half’s bike. It was £41, you can’t get an IQX for that

Give me the mount from the other one then

I didn’t buy it to put in a cupboard! They’re both being used

Ffs

They’re both being used

by me mwahaha

(amey you can have the mount just dont tell phil. i'll swap it for your hasselblad)
