Stem mounted light suggestions?
I'm trying to mount a light to my Nitto Noodle Bar for the upcoming
nighttime commute, and I don't really have room. Cable routing with my barcons makes space limited. I'd like to mount a light to my threadless stem. I have a four bold Oval Concepts stem, so I can't use the neat Supergo replacement faceplate(two bolt). Anybody know a good LED light I can strap mount to the stem? Mike |

The small 3-AAA Cateye LED (EL-400?) has a swivel clamp so you could strap it on the stem and face it forward, but you would lose tilt adjustment. The Performance 3-AAA LED comes with a regular clamp and a stretchy strappy thing that would probably fit over your cables fine. Neither is terribly bright for an only light. It is often possible to mount a headlight clamp even over barcons and aero brake cabling. The open part of the clamp goes right where the cables are. |

And sometimes necessary is right into the eyes of a driver about to make a left in front of me! Joseph |
