For the well dressed Roadeo ...

My disinterest in threadless stems is on record in this forum.

However, every now and then, even this committed threaded stemaphile
has to admit there are some neat threadless gadgets out there.

And here is one neat gadget:

If you are going to be putting your luggage behind the seat, why not
mount the light high and in the center?

Very nice, indeed. Wish they made one for standard stems.

Hmmm - I've found that I want the light as far out in front of me as possible, as I can get some nasty  glare when I stand and pedal unless the light is well-shielded from above.  I also seem to recall reading that low mounts are better as it shows road relief closer in than a high-mounted light.   YMMV...

I have one on my big dummy which has on one mary bars with very little
flat area for battery lights. It works well, it is not high enough
compared to a handlebar mount to make any difference. It does sit back
from the bars quite a ways and does lead to a little more light
spillage when out of the saddle, but it is not too bad. The Gino
mounts are really nice, I got some at the same time I ordered this,
but I don't like putting battery led lights down low. Also, hurrah for
Riv for having threadless fork options.

A few headlight mounting thoughts and considerations.. -a light on the handlebars can easily be adjusted while riding which is something I do occasionally when there are speed and terrain changes, -or dimmed or shielded by hand if someone is coming the other way on a bike trail (a factor with the new high power lights), -and there is less water spray and road grime from the front wheel with a higher mounting.  --- On Wed, 1/6/10, Brian Hanson <ston...@gmail.com> wrote:

It really depends on the light and where you are riding the bike.

I have an eDeluxe suspended under the front rack on one bike, a
Supernova that is mounted on a custom set up mid fork, and an Ixon
Speed that I mount from the handlebar.

I use the Speed on my camper. There is no good place to put the bike
down low as that is where the Panniers go. Moreover, when I take the
camper off road or on rough roads, I want the light up high. A broken
light does not do a whole lot of good, does it? The light on the
handlebar is no higher than a motorcycle.

YMMV ...
