Rear light advice

Hey guys, wondering if any of you know of a rear light that attaches to a rear rack, but not 'on top of the tire'. I'm looking for something that I can attach to one of the pieces of metal that reach down to the hub.

Thanks,
Mark

This would probably work: http://www.rei.com/product/793233

Why do you not want to mount it to the reflector mount?

I put a bag on my rear rack & sometimes it hangs over, I'd rather have something that won't potentially be obstructed. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

PBSF - I have 2 on the rack supports with the supplied mounts. Works great.

PDW's Radbot can mounted on the stays as well...

As can the PBSF. Actually, the two lights use the same mounting system and either light can be successfully attached to the other's mount. A happy coincidence since I have one of each! I ordered extra mounts so I can easily switch them from bike to bike. :thumb:
