I am not a 3d printer person, but I believe something like that could totally be made that way. If I needed such a device I would probably look for something aluminum that I could cut, file, and drill until it worked.

Yeah, good point, I saw a bunch of stuff the other day that looked like camera mounts or something. Expensive tho.
I was thinking like an arm off a road caliper or something.
Agreed, old centerpull brake arms and disc brake caliper adapters are sometimes good for this sort of thing -fairly strong and have holes at 90° to each other.

Oh yeah. Disc brake caliper doofer sounds feasible.
tinkercad is your huckleberry. not sure i’d trust a cheap 3d print for that though
Would probably weigh about the same and be less brittle out of 14g stainless steel

Could bend some flat stock for the curvey parts and attach a piece of 90* stock to it for mounting the light.
That looks swelligant. I like simple solutions.
This is so cool, I’ve been wishing something like this existed for years.

Super cool, but bummer that it’s only for ebikes. I suppose one of the battery wizards here could rig up a power supply to make this work on a non electronic bicycle.
I wonder how much power the stabilizer needs? I’m guessing it’s all electronic and doesn’t contain a little gyroscope to level things?
@JUGE_FREDD and @halbritt have both outlined setups for battery powering e-german lïghten i think. seems pretty simple and i now wanna pursue it more than ever if i end up riding much after dark up here

My Panasonic Dyno hub has 200 miles on it and seizes up when it has current going out. RIP.
FWIW My SON has been quietly perfect since installing it, i think i’m just warmed up to spending way too much $$$ but would buy another a lot quicker than i got this one.

Damn can you get someone to replace it? I’ve got a Sanyo with like 10k on it
Got it on mega sale from merry sales/soma so doubtful. I just feel bad that I’ve sold them to people.
Took it apart and found out that the outer ring of the generator broke free from the hubshell. Just epoxied it back in. Will see if it works!

So long story short, I thought I was getting a fork with a plain old front thread that would work effortlessly with a light. Instead I have this: CFO606 - Fork - Carbonda Sports Equipment Co., Ltd.
It has a thread on the backside of the crown and several down the legs.
Anyone have any bright ideas about how to mount an IQ Cyo to it?
Is there a “reach under and back” deal or something I could bend into shape?
