Fork Mounted Light

barrabus · 2009-10-16 14:05:09

My mum has a raleigh elegance with a basket and needs a light a set of lights . The basket means that the standard handlebar mounted lights wont work . There is a piece sticking out from the fork to mount a light on but I cant find a suitable light... Does anyone have any suggestions?…

I was just about to say what Scott said. And now I'm repeating it.

This was a terrible waste of the Internet's time.

For the rest of my life, I'll think about no-one else.

I'd suggest dropping a line to SJS Cycles and seeing what they might recommend.

Failing that, there is a fork mount for the B & M Ixon, so presumably for other (perhaps less expensive) Busch & Muller lights also. I expect you can easily remove the current bracket if you can't find a light to fit and install a different one.
