    I'm being optimistic. I have a set of Crivit LED lights, but I'm missing the fitting for the front light. It went when my bike was stolen. Any chance of anyone having one, or knowing what might work for fitting it. Otherwise it will have to just serve as a handheld torch and I'll need a new light.

    OP if you have an old mtb bike tube, cut rings from the tube, interlock 3 rings together and you can attach your light that way, similar to what sullzz is showing.

    A few cable ties crossed over each other may work.

    What fitting? Some have a special receiver, others like shown are held on with bands.

    Ha I do this :p Had the need to swap light between the road bike and the take the wee one to school general purpose one, works a treat.

    Could have got another set but this way you have a light thats used every day and so always charged.

    Thanks. I hadn't even considered a generic stretchy band type idea.

    It does have a special attachment that it slots on, and I hadn't thought beyond finding something that it would fit onto in the same way. This is the set in question. Forgive my ineptitude, but I still haven't figured out how to post images here.

    You might also want some tube on the handlebar, otherwise the light can tend to rotate and also it can rattle a bit.
