Dynamo Lights

good buy.

Anyone got an idea how I could mount an E3 pro 2 on the canyon grail hoverbar?

E3 pro 2 on the canyon grail hoverbar?

maybe this?

I think the curves won't fit, the hoverbar is mostly flat.

Just found this: https://www.lupine-shop.com/en/accessoires-and-parts/barmount/1815/canyon-aero-mount-sl-f but not sure the screw will work with the supernova light.

In that case any GoPro mount will work with this: https://www.bike24.com/p2248460.html?q=supernova%20gopro

As far as I'm aware gopro mounts make the camera/light hang upside down, which is not ok. I could use these adhesive mounts but not really fond of that.

if the bars can take the same mount as H36 cockpit, I have this running on mine: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000109901467.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dqj8ZMd

So you mean you can flip those?

Tell me more about these onature lights. Which is the best model? Are they copies of the b&m design?

nah just mount the light upside down?

I had the same "problem" when I was organising the cockpit on my Giant road bike and I was advised against hanging it upside down: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/15124412/ (Got it fixed with a k-edge mount.)
I'd rather try the upside down as a last resort.

Not too sure that I am the best person to reply but they look similar in construction with indirect beam forming.
I really can only advise on what I know and that is this model both with and without standlight as I have both.

If you are near KT123EW I have one not on a bike you could see and try!!!!

I have a similar looking china special light.
Fox light from eBay.
Impression from first short ride:
-very bright (compared to older iq-x).
-beam is way to narrow, but mounted on a cargo bike so might be slightly better above a bigger wheel?
-standlight is good.
-side visibility not great.
-rear light is good.
No idea about environmental aspect.
But I had a lot of cheaper b&m lyt front lights and recently an axa blue line break, so wanted to try this.

As I said previously E3 has a structured beam which doesn’t work well upside down.

Doesn’t matter around town but if you’re relying on the beam to light the way it’s not great.

--- Help with Sinewave Beacon + Supernova adapter please ---

Beacon is mounted as shown on a Supernova mount like this.
However I'm using a nut to get it tight as I've lost the circled parts.
The problem is the nut keeps coming loose on rough terrain, which is all I ride. What kind of replacement to the nut can I use? I've tried threadlock, that didn't work.

serated washer either side of the light and then normal washer and a nyloc nut on the end of the bolt (which you'll probably need to replace with a longer one)

I was going to mount this light onto my canti brake bolt but now I'm second guessing it. Any thoughts?

My other idea was to attach a disc brake adaptor to the bolt on the front but I think it'll need some hacksawing.

I miss the U shaped bit of metal that came with my pelago rack...does anyone sell that.

does anyone sell that.

look at the various nitto lamp holders

I had mine mounted to the rack stay using a p-clip for ages...

love this bike

Yeah I was thinking p clips, but this rack stay is less than 10mm and I don't have any around right now. Will look into sourcing them.

@spotter nitto mounts are a good shout though pretty spendy so a bit of a last resort for me. This is meant to be a lockable bike.

....but amey....rim brakes

in that case id just go for a rummage in your LBS, find a piece of metal, bend it and attach it here

what spade connector (from ebay) I need for SON dynamo hub pls?

4.8mm female spade connector.
