Today, I went to check out some rear lights at a pretty large LBS. As expected, the salesperson knew absolutely nothing about the thousands of dollars worth of lights on display in the middle of the store and suggested that I research them on the Internet. This is why I rarely ever actually BUY any of the things I ask about on these forums.
One thing I noticed: Most of the rear lights have cheapo little clips now, rather than hardware to mount them on a rack. I'm wondering if I should just wait until I find the light I want on the side of the road.
Mine is zip-tied to the seat stays. The other has a zip-tie around the clip on the rack plate, so I don't really care how secure those clips are. I figure as long as I have red blinking, and it won't fall off, then I'm golden.
