Though now that I’m thinking of it, I typically have a bit of electrical tape around my bar where a light would attach just for this reason with various quick mounts. And the tape comes in handy sometimes.

I thought the ratcheting cam system was great. I’ve always liked cam closures for their easy on, easy off ability, and an adjustable one was great in my eyes. But as said, I always have tape around my bar where the light attaches.

Otherwise, I found the light nice and bright, pretty well agreeing with Jeff’s views. I did find that the batteries or the mount rattled a little bit which kind of drove me up the wall for some reason or another. I don’t like things on my bike rattling, but I’d guess most people won’t even notice.

I found out the hard way that the only way to get it to stay put is to cover the handlebar underneath with non-slip cloth “friction tape”. No amount of fiddling with the locking ring or the camming device was sufficient to keep the light pointing in the right direction.

I will say that the bracket will fit a wide variety of handlebars and other cylindrical objects, though.

The little adjustable locking ring is bunk. The “handle” so to speak falls off after more than two detaches from the bike, leaving your lamp homeless. And, even when it was attached, getting the proper amount of grip was nigh-impossible. I give this attachment system a firm thumbs down.
