Gorilla glue works very well for this. Had the same problem years ago, and the glue even held up to torquing.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I just don't understand why these companies can't make a mount that doesn't break. Both of the mounts I've had break on me have been ones that were designed to allow the headlight to swivel on its mount, which in my opinion is a completely pointless feature that only causes problems.

Got me on the swivel thing too. Got that on my Cygolite mounts. Is there a screw to tighten it?

My body went haywire around 11:00 PM Tuesday and by 2:00 AM I could not lift myself from the floor to the sofa and was dry heaving uncontrollably and shaking/shivering violently. I had my daughter call 911 and by 4:00 AM I was in the ER hooked to an IV. Oxygen was 90% so they kept me overnight.

A side effect of anti nausia meds is drowsiness and it was a godsend. I slept on and off for about 30 hours. My calendar is clear through the weekend.

I encourage anyone with any symptoms to get to the doctor right away and get tested.

Did you guys break the mount that attaches to the bar or the GoPro adapter which attaches at the light/camera?

My GoPro mount proved to be no match for chip'n'seal roads. It vibrated so much it snapped off. The camera itself survived just fine, leaving me with an interesting bit of video.

In my case the part that broke is the little adapt-a-gazoink that goes between the bar-clip and the camera itself. A cheap part, but a part that shouldn't break that easily.

I guess neither, technically. The part of the light itself that slides into the bar mount sheared off, and this one (Urban 650) didn't come with a GoPro mount.

Rode my bike last night despite:

having to put my chain back on and lube it
find tools to put in my seat bag
swap seat bag between bikes
pumping up tires
it being wet and icy
it being 25 degrees and windy
Front light nearly dead
rear light dying shortly after leaving

As rides go, it kinda sucked, but also really needed to happen.

What's that one guy's quote around here? "There have been times I didn't feel like riding, but I've never regretted going on a ride." :thumb:
