I want to add at least one more light back there, so that whether I'm wearing my backpack or have it strapped to the rack platform, I'll have more than one light visible at any given time.
There is an adapter that would allow me to mount the 4D to the seat post using the binder bolt, but have doubts it will work with the OEM QR skewer. So I'm better off just leaving the light where it was designed to go- on the rack.
You'd think that someone would have come up with a widget or a bracket that would allow one mount to the chain stay, enabling the light to 'peek' around rack legs...
Yeah, I prefer 3 at all times, myself. Low/medium/high in terms of location. The Sette I mentioned in my previous post comes w/a seatpost mount not pictured. My fg commuter is set up w/a seatpost rack/trunkbag combo that allows me to mount the blinkie on the seatstay about 4 inches above the caliper. The rack has a refector and I use another blinkie on my back or helmet cover depending on what clothing combo I'm wearing.
Your rack looks like it would mount a blinkie or two just fine on the vertical stay using a seatstay mount and some rubber spacers. The mounts that come w/t Sette rotate 2 different ways. Clock and counter-clockwise and up-down looking at the light from the rear. So, even if one has to attach the mount pointing towards the ground the non-attaching part of the mount can be rotated up to the proper angle for maximum visibility. Btw, my bikes are
all peppered w/DIY redneck adaptations of some sort.
