Well, I am allergic to cats, by the way.
This is Jas.
The other day, I received a question from a customer:
"Can I mount my CatEye light more securely?"
"Not with that twist-to-attach mount that comes with it, but something like the reflectors that come on complete bikes..."
"Something that mounts firmly to the seatpost..."
"Is that possible...?"
Hmm? What do you mean?
I thought for a moment, but then it clicked. I see what you mean.
It seems the customer isn't a fan of the CatEye light bracket they are currently using.
My initial thought was, "Why!? Isn't this bracket incredibly well-designed?" But now that they mention it, it is a bit bulky and doesn't look very sleek. They want it to look cleaner and more streamlined. Is that what they're after?
No problem. You can do it by using this.
Actually, the great folks at CatEye offer a wide variety of small parts like this.
Here’s what they look like out of the bag.
As you’ve probably guessed, you attach it by combining the clamp part on the left with the bracket part on the right.
Comparing it to the mount that comes in the box, it looks like this.
It looks quite a bit sleeker, don't you think?
Of course, you can still adjust the angle of the bracket.
More secure hold, cleaner look. You can use this mounting method for front lights too, or even attach them to racks.
CatEye has a whole lineup of these small parts available!!
They might be minor details, but don't you ever think, "I wish it were like this, or maybe like that"?
Depending on your ideas, you might be able to achieve quite a lot.
If you’re ever having trouble with anything at all, please come consult us at Circles!
We look forward to seeing you.
Cat love.
