…I’ve done this before! Midway through a tour, I got fed up with a Carradice bouncing off my legs, so I took a travel shampoo bottle, cut off the top and bottom, and threaded the bag’s seat post strap through it. It was the rack equivalent of shift-with-a-stick.See the green thing?Then I got a Bagman rack.Then I got a smaller tent and an Oveja Negra butt rocket.

Early iteration of keeping the thing in the back away from my legs:

I briefly also tried a spare tube stuck tightly under the saddle for my light load.

Slightly later:

No help in answering this question. A trip down memory lane.

This bent wire thingy from old Cannondale, Cyclepro etc handlebar bags

i know there is a solution and i know it should be easy to find but i’m struggling

how do i mount a light to a fork/fork leg that doesn’t have braze-ons. doesn’t someone make a nubbin that just straps on the leg?

alt - no handlebar space for battery light. no brake hole on front of fork crown, where to put light?

[paris]

How about one of those mounts that uses stem faceplate bolts? Like this.

[spaghetti]

im using a rackless handlebar bag now, so thats actually what i’m replacing. its an elegant solution and will be missed.

[EndpointBraden]

What about a bar mount that raises the light mount above the bag? We’ve done a few of these for bar bags.

Just adding the caveat, if your bag has a clear map case on top the reflection can be really distracting.

maybe i just need to ride with people with lights

this is exactly what is in my mind! thank you

I have multiple cronometro nobs and use them for fork leg light mounts. I wrap electrical tape for extra insurance because the fork legs taper; they have never slipped even carrying big old 4*AA lights.

[Andrew_Andeson]

@spaghetti please slide into my dms if you want to trade a lightly used nob for $0

I like that this looks like a completely normal bike and then it has what looks like an orange mini-fridge glued to the handlebars
