Out from light holder
Moderator: robbosmans
Need help as I run Pro stealth Evo integrated bars attaching lights to the bar is a bit of a pain and was wondering beside the mount that's sold for the bar. Are there any other "lightweight" mounts that you have had experience with?

lights that have a silicone band should work ok, i use these on my cinelli integrated bars
using a rubber strip between light and bar can help avoid it changing position due to vibration
the lights i use....
to see with - exposure diablo mk5, with the bar mount and a strip of rubber to stop it slipping
to be seen - lezyne zecto drive pro, works as is

Here's what I did. Not the most elegant, but it works great. Modular design lets you mount pretty much anything you might want up there.
Modify the design to suit your mount. I built this for the same reason you mention.
Since taking these pics, I've built other mounts that fir the GoPro slide mount system. The PVC parts are also now spray-painted black.

I use a pro stealth Evo and wanted to use a barfly spoon to attach my exposure light beneath.. Something a little more elegant... Any other suggestions although @bikeanon that's pretty cool what you did!!

With the Barfly spoon, I'd mount a GoPro style mount to the bottom surface. Once you have a GoPro mount, you can adapt to pretty much anything else.
Like this:
Alternatively, as sungod mentioned, the silicone bands are really strong, and adaptable. Adding a simple cross-member to the Barfly would allow you to attach anything that uses bands.
Like this idea, only make something yourself, instead of adding a Garmin mount underneath.
A critical thing for any design (in my mind) is the ability to aim the light up/down. The pic directly above doesn't allow that.
Heck, you've seen my hack/slash skills... I'd just cut two holes in a piece of PVC. Slide the Barfly spoon in holes..... instant extra handlebar-like space.
Now you can mount anything that mounts to a 31.8 bar.

Calnago, i have the same light and plan to to that with a barfly 2.0...nice and clean. Currently just wraping around the bar with the silicon strap which is ok too. All i need is to pull the trigger on the gopro mount. Nice setup...ive seen it close up and its def the way to go.
I found other bar mounts just so flimsy compared to the K-edge. I've had Barflys (break off the tabs of Garmins), and the Garmin out front mounts. But the K-edge just is so solid with the smoothest "click" in and sits perfectly steering ahead. And not above or below the stem, just in line. Only thing is that the fit of the GoPro mount is super tight, not sure if it's by design or not but it does stay put at whatever angle you like. Also need to make sure your light will fit lengthwise with the mount. I had to switch to the XL K-Edge when I got the Garmin 1000 because it would not fit on the one I had. And it would look like you might need that extra length for the light as well.

I've the exact same mount and light. It works a treat and looks so clean and clutter free.
Weight weenie-ism has really changed over the years.
The market has really brought a lot of great products to us. There's a lot less DIY needed to get something that meets your needs.
That setup Colnagp shows looks really good.

and Calnago's set up is super slick, I really dig it.
That said, the K-Edge mount isn't low mass and there is surely an elegant, and light-weight solution for night-lights mounted up front. Calnago's approach is a beautiful start!
