Help Mounting Radbot 1000
 
Hey guys, I just got my Radbot 1000 today. My saddle bag blocks it when mounted to the seat post. I'm thinking the following location would work. It's actually held in place pretty good from the friction. Any suggestions on how to keep it from flying off when I hit bumps? FYI, the radbot has a clip on the back.

bag mount it.. I use mine just clipped onto my topeak seat bags with no issues

I tried clipping it on the back of the bag but it flops down and points towards the ground.

This is why I like the PBSF: seatstay mounting.

Has nothing to do with the light, has to do with the seatpack.. Most vendors put flimsy reflective piece of cloth, the topeaks use a thick piece of canvas and it holds the radbot in place just fine, as well as the PBSF which I used prior to the radbot..

It looks like the rear panel of the bag is angled downward, so it wouldn't matter if the light loop was made from stiff material.

If you're handy with a needle and thread, you might try sewing a shim beneath the loop, maybe made from closed-cell foam and covered with cloth?

go to the dollar store and pick up the strips of stick-um velcro. that will hold your light on firmly - in addition the friction fit.

I just bought one from Amazon and it included the seatpost mount, the seat stay mount and the rack mount. IIRC the PBSF only includes the first two.

I mounted my Radbot 1000 to the seatstay with the included hardware, but it will use the PBSF hardware, too.

Lost mine before I even had a chance to ride with it on. Seat post mounted it and it popped off somewhere on the MUP, probably because of the overfilled bag I had on the rack.
