Hi WW,
Anyone know how I can mount a bike light and a gopro under a bike computer? Like the photos below:

You could use 2-in-1 adapter and live with the offset FoV or you could just mount the light over the bars with a regular clamp mount. I suggest the latter.

I've one of those as well, seems sturdy enough.
I think I purchased it on eBay.

I suppose with the offset lens in the GoPro Hero, the offset in the mount would somewhat cancel out. Still, depending on the light and computer + mount + GoPro, that's quite a bit of weight on an out-front mount. I've definitely seen a few snapped K-Edges and Blendr mounts from JRA.

I guess that would be ok during summer I just love having no clutter on the bars. I like having the light central on dark mornings as I find it more predictable in corners so i'll have a think about it

Ooh that's no good, I thought k-edge mounts were really sturdy, I didn't even consider that. Thanks
