Headlamp Mount for Up in the Steer Tube?
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b039adc769.jpg
Crown mount with "bar" to attach a standard headlight mount. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...663e52a8f9.jpg I need a mount like this one pictured, but with a "bar" to mount a standard headlight like a Niterider, or Cygolite. The fender mounting hole is up in the fork, smack dead center of the head tube (the threads going north "into" the head tube). Does anyone know of a headlight mount that is designed for this position? I have a few of the "fork crown" mounts on other bikes with standard fender mounts. and they do a good job of keeping the bright beams on the road instead of the eyes of annoyed drivers and fellow cyclists. I wish the same when riding this bike... Thanks in advance! |
Busch & Muller have 2 nylon ,( no vibration induced metal fatigue, then) headlight mounts
1 to fit in spacer stack on thread-less headsets, and another to fit like a washer between the adjustable race and locknut. on threaded fork headsets.. The design of B&M dynamo powered headlights these brackets mount, is such as to have the shaped light beam cut off to not dazzle drivers eyes, by not having the reflector around a centered LED as if a flashlight.. there are several pieces made by a number of companies , to place a handle bar battery mounted light on a second tube beneath the handlebar.. a second threadless stem beneath the other, with a section of straight tubing on place of the handlebar can do that as well.. https://www.bumm.de/en/products/mehr...0brackets.html https://www.bumm.de/en/products/mehr...t/471b-1.html? ... |
The two bikes that I have with such a fender mount also have a hole for mounting a lamp on teh fork crown, but if I did not have a hole for mounting a lamp and if I did not want to drill a hole for that purpose, I would consider fabricating a piece of Aluminum bar stock in an L shape to give me a new bracket. In other words, I would try to make something like this.
https://www.homedepot.com/b/Building...s/N-5yc1vZc8hr For a while I put a lamp down on the bottom of the fork using one of the fender mounts, but I did not like that position because I thought it created too many shadows at night. But you might consider that option, see photo. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...9fc1d30a1c.jpg A friend of mine bought one of those gizmos (not sure what it is called) that attach to the end of a skewer so that you can mount a handlebar mounted headlamp down on the skewer. I told him he would not like it because of the shadows, but he proved me wrong - he only uses a light during daytime, never rides at night. |
Putting a rear QR skewer on the front gives you an extra 35mm of length for a spacer and a headlight in that sort of location.
Plus there are alternate 'nuts' for QR Skewers that offer a 1" diameter short tube to put a handlebar mount type light on that low location... ... |

Does anyone know of a headlight mount (with bar to mount std lithium headlights) that could use this position? https://shop.supernova-design.com/sh...multimounts-29 https://www.bumm.de/en/products/mehr...0brackets.html |
