Hulsroy's Hustle

If you feel like making a couple of extra I’d happily buy them from you!

I have been working on a little concept for a stem and stem mounted Son Edelux 2.

I'll use longer bolts for the stem than I normally would and piggy back on the protruding threads bolting on a little plate that has a m6 threaded rod welded onto it. Then I can just use the bracket from the dynamo light and remove easily if I wanna run a bar bag.
I will put in a m6 boss on the underside of the stem allowing me to make a bar bag cage/support later on that will tripod between the m6 thread and the two protruding bolts from the face plate. This bar bag cage will then have a little dynamo mount so I can move the light out in front of the bag

Cool!

By then I hope to be able to silver braze a boss on my MV stem myself, I would be very interested in this.

I have always found my handlebar / stem mounted lights to be prone to lots of vibration and flickering beams. Less so with fork mounts. Are you thinking you will need to manage vibrations with that setup?

I haven't thought about that. Mounting solution is the same as on the forks. So I guess vibrations will be the same unless bars/stem vibrate more that fork crown?

We need an engineer...

I suspect a small rubber bushing (rubber o-rings?) in the right places would help. Perhaps between the plate and the stem and/or between the plate and the light mount. Although mounting it from behind might help as well.

Probably not worth of an engineer's time. Probably a try it and see thing. Neat solution either way. I enjoy seeing your pondering on things.

I was kidding about the engineer 🤣

Looks like a nice mounting solution.

There is a similar one available commercially, where the clamp attaches to the bar and the light sits in front of the stem. But I understand the intrigue of making one yourself.

If it were mine, I'd bend the light bracket upward, rotate the light itself downward to compensate, and run light+barbag simultaneously

Yeah. Maybe I'll just get the bar bracket mount to begin with. I don't really have time to make stems right now.

I just realized I am running a Quad Lock out front pro mount. I'll make something neat that attaches to the underside of that.

Is what I use and works well.
Edit - on a none ritchey stem. Attachment is adjustable.

Looks very interesting. Thanks.

The real problem is tha tall my dynamo lights are the non upside-down versions. I have to Edelux 2 and a Supernova E3. Maybe the Supernova can be flipped??

EDIT: Looks like it can't be flipped unless I do some weather proofing of the cable port.

It could be used like this but then I can't fit the phone.

The non upside down edilux will fit as per the top picture, the mount the same but have the light the right way round. So be inline with the stem.
Mounting point on the supernova looks to be more in the middle of the light, you'd have to shim it out to not offend the stem plate.

It's back... Proper photos as soon as daylight permits

lovely

Ta. Feels great to have it back

"Dad, you said we were going for a ride, not to stop every five minutes to take pictures of your bike for that stupid forum! Dad, come on, keep up!"

Awesome, as usual.

I just let her ride now. My bicycle vanity is a priority

Changed cables in my Aliexpress dynamo light. Made a big difference in feel and looks. Would not be afraid to that again. Was pretty easy but a bit fiddly

Nice touches do make a lot of difference

I might do the same as mine keep “losing” the beam everywhere especially with potholes… and I believe is the cabling inside that is quite faffy

Good work. What cable did you use out of interest?

I'm late, but this is looking fucking amazing! very close to dream biek...
