postie also brought the "xrr470", which turned out to be another xrr445. was too good to be true anyway...
light worms. at first i was thinking to mount my supernova e3 triple on the upper end of the fork blade with a piece of tube and one of these. the clamp might however damage the fork blade on the occasion of diving light-first into rocks/trees and cause unnecessary facial surgery anxiety.
currently at level or slightly below the bars out front is the dominant remaining mounting idea.
what makes this tricky is the light can't be mounted upside down unless the beam is compromised. i'd need to use a swivelled extension rod to get the light away from the bars to have ample room for operating the switch and then twisted to the correct angle for an optimal beam. the most promising solution for this i've worked out so far would be to use
this
or this
to clamp it to the bars and
this
as the rod. not sure how well this would work in practice and kind of reluctant to add to my collection of unused light mounts. i hope there's interference only with the bar bag flap when opened, but it might also hinder mounting a dry bag directly to the bars.
i've also been recommended this, which is actually supposed to fit a variety of stems, not just ones made by ritchey. a neat application by a rider from the finnish forum below.
as the light is positioned further at the front, this would likely work better with a dry bag. but perhaps worse with a flapped bar bag. all handlebar dynamo light mounters please come out and present your solutions before i start surfing for a sinewave beacon again.
