Alternative light mounting option?

So I have the Elemnt bolt, and the bontrager ion 100 sitting on my handlebars. However, I would like the mount the light somewhere else so it looks a little cleaner. Would there be a way to mount the ion 100 on the bottom of the bolt mount somehow yet still having it point forward?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Bontrager have a light mount that adapts it to a GoPro mount. However I don't know if Wahoo do a computer mount with a GoPro underneath. They are certainly available for Garmin from K-Edge and others.

You could cut up a mini-pump mount and combine it with a reflector holder

to give your light a nice aero position.

Don't expect much positive feedback, 'tho...

K-edge does.

Computer mount on top. Gopro mount underneath. This is how I mount my lights for night riding and visibility.

Barfly makes mounts with GoPro or rubber band based.







Origin8 and Problem Solvers have light mounts for the fork if your fork has rack mounts. I prefer the Problem Solvers mounts.

Aside from the K-Edge Wahoo combo mount mentioned, you can also get "handlebar accessory mounts" which would allow you to position an Ion 100 forward of the bars, below the ELEMNT if you like.

There are also headset spacer accessory mounts that can replace headset/stem spacers to provide similar positioning.

I use this mount from Problem Solvers and my Lezyne Mega Drive light; Problem Solvers
Works great for my use.
