That's also what I thought about the dropout mounting. Any experience with a light mounted that low?
Under saddle isn't an option as there's a Di2 battery in there. Cable routing would also be problematic, I want something clean and durable so that'd probably mean internal, which isn't ideal, as I'm not having the frame repainted. The framebuilders will just touch up the areas they modify, so I'm trying to avoid drilling holes everywhere.
But I will talk to them to see if we can figure out anything about mounting it there.
I run full metal mudguards 95% of the time, so I was also considering that option (with a connector near the BB for easy removal). I wanted something that was independent of mudguards for the last 5%, so that I never have to worry about light even when removing mudguards, but it might be my best option so far.
@M_A_X : I don't actually plan to run a rack, the mounts will be there "just in case".
@Grumpy_Git : Ok so consensus seems high that 1 or 2 are shit for visibility!
