Bikes: Had a Surly Cross Check - was totaled in recent accident. Sadly now just a Fuji Crosstown as a backup bike.

I've been taping it - that is cumbersome. Is there something available that lets you use the tripod hole somehow?

i wonder if you could find the tripod mount screw dimensions (i.e., TPI) and then buy a screw to make your own mount. a fastner store ought to have one. that, and some zip ties. i was just going to use zip ties for my own ad hoc application.

Here's one someone else devised recently - may give you an idea of what to avoid.
