Great Mount for the Money – Universal Bicycle Mount Reviews

posted by bryanpryor on 10/03/2007 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
Used it mountain biking with a VB-16 flashlight. It seemed to hold the light in place just fine for 10 miles of night trail riding.
Cons:
no positive retention feature for light. a very heavy bump could dislodge the flashlight. Plastic parts - may not last very long due to long term creep. Not sure if plastic grip will relax over time if flashlight left in place, thus reducing clamp load. A bolt on the top would help, too.
Other:
Use a rubberband around the flashlight/handlebars to help secure the flashlight in case of large bumps.
Bottomline:
for $2, it's a great all-purpose mount for a flashlight.
