Flashlight mount
 
Can anyone recommend a good flashlight mount? I bought a cheap one off of ebay, but it's not holding up too well.

Where are you going to mount the flashlight? (helmet, bars, wheel axle). And what is the diameter of the barrel of your flashlight?

handle bar, 30mm

Here's a link to the flashlights I have.

That looks like a nice flashlight. I tried several different bar mounts until I tried this. I've been using the same one for four years now. It will hold a flashlight with 1 inch diameter. There is VERY good.

This is the best I have seen. unfortunatly you may need to change the cheap plastic cam lever to a bicycle quik release lever, bolt and all.

So far so good with my Two Fish Lockblocks from amazon for 7 and 8 bucks each. Work great so far though I don't go on a lot of night rides.

I have the fast tech mount and my strion fell out of it in the cold weather. Worked good in warm weather, but come November through March forget it in WI. I also got a variety of mounts that a flashlight goes into from deal extreme and they all work in summer fail in cold weather.

I buy these and ones like it from DealExtreme.com. They work real good. Got one on every bike. You can even remove the light with one hand while riding to look off to the side.

I use the same mount that aipenquin and sknhgy use. I've found it easy to mount, and I've had no trouble removing the flashlight for charging batteries.

I've used it for years, and I've never had a flashlight bounce out.

Best mount I know of. Pretty dang cheap, but good.

Rubber bands did the trick for me.
