Attach Radbot Light to Aero Seat tube
So my Synapse has a somewhat aero seat tube and my light has a round attachment. Seat says are also not round. I know there are lights out there with a more rubber band type attachment that would work, but I'd rather not spend money on another light. Anyone rigged something up for a situation like this that worked? I thought about rubber banding the original mount on but it has an L-shaped bracket that interferes.
EDIT: This kind of shows the mount |
I've made a similar mount work using a short piece of thick rubber tubing between the clamp and seat stay. Make sure the light won't rotate into the spokes.
You could fabricate a strap that goes around your aero post and bolts to the L bracket. You could buy a decent rubber band mounted taillight for ~$20. I use these but they still might require some ingenuity to mount it to your seat post. http://www.botachtactical.com/prtecsw.html |

I'm too lazy. I bought a saddle bag that has a loop that I can put the blinkie on.

velcro strap?

Get a Planet bike Superflash stealth.
It comes with a couple of different mounts and one of them fits nicely on the not so round seat stay. And it is ridiculously bright. Linky |

BTW, I had the Planet Bike LED on my Synapse seat stay

I just remembered, I put a Planet Bike bracket on the non round seatstay of my CAAD9. That bracket also fits the Radbot 1000 clunky perfectly, in fact, I use a Planet Bike bracket for the Radbot on all my bikes except the aero one.
Here is the webpage with the catalog number if you need it. I ordered them from the LBS no problem. http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3107.html |

Most bright taillights have a fairly narrow beam that needs to be aimed properly for best effect. This might be difficult to achieve hanging them off a loop on a backpack or saddle bag.
