Dinotte 300R Slice Seatpost	Quote \| Reply

Just got my Dinotte 300R tailight yesterday. Spent a little time trying to mount it on my C'dale Slice. The problem is the aero shaped seatpost doesn't have a suitable adapter that was included to mount the light. Has anyone used a 300R w/ a Slice? How did you make the mounting work?

Peace,
Rob

I go with the seatstays. You should be able - with a heat gun - to shape one of the smaller anchors to work on a seatstay.

My $0.02 is that every bike maker out to make some sort of adapter for their seatposts that gives you a short section of 27.2 diameter tubing to attach things to. There's just a ton of stuff for cyclists meant to attach to round seatposts (besides lights even) that is impractical to make for aero posts since every one is different.

Thanks Jordan, I'll give that a shot. That light is amazingly bright.

Yeah, I just got one for my road bike. For my TT bike, I have a 140A & 140R mounted to my helmet and I run them via a Y-junction into an extension cord to the battery which I keep in my jersey pocket.
