  • I'm looking at getting dynamo light up and running. One of the challenges is there's no front hole on the fork crown so I'm considering following options

    1. Attaching to mudguards using Isen attachment
    2. Going for an upside down light configuration and attaching below a Quadlock mount I'm currently running (runs like a Garmin mount with option of light/GoPro below)
    3. Attaching to handlebars

    Favouring first two options given limited space on my bars and impression I get is it's better to not have your lights too high but interested in other people's thoughts?

  • I'm using the exposure stem faceplate mount to hold a Revo upside down. still hoping they'll eventually release a fork crown mount though as the beam pattern on that isn't ideal for road use

  • I tried (and failed) to make my own mount which used the hole on the back of the fork. Its a rack mount bent crudely into shape, fits well but wasn't stiff enough so the light shakes as you ride.

    Now using a off the shelf handlebar mount but definitely prefer the fork crown mounted position if you can

  • Further alternatives:

    • headset spacer with light mount (easy to find and quite neat)

    more creative:

    • adapter on canteliver mount.
    • installing front rack with light holder on back hole
    • lowrider with light mount
  • Don't pay for an Isen mount as you won't receive it. They've ceased trading.
    Mudguard is a good place but it's usually best to add an additional stay to limit vibration.
