I thought mounting to the bottom of the front rack next to the tire but forward enough to avoid wheel shadow was the one true way. ---

This is what I did on my commuter and it is delightful. ---

The guy who made my bass clarinet case does custom carbon fiber cases. I wonder if I could get him to glue together some tubes to make this. ---

Maybe a simple 3 point mount like this (to back of fork crown) ![Screenshot_20200806-211513](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/d/0/d0e68815b9515404e9bb6983aa1ec7bef08f5ff7.jpeg) But then I may as well have a rack šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø What is the rationale for not drilling that hole all the way through? ---

If they did, then you might put a rack on it. ---

Ponoko can laser cut 1/8" aluminum and they have a hub in Berlin. Or maybe itā€™s a sandwich of 1/16" aluminum with acrylic or delrin in between. ---

Could definitely be made one piece, and a lot better looking, but this is a start and would be easier to make yourself, and/or would fit in a smaller area if trying to nest it with other parts. ![light mount iso](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/6/3/632e18a6811d0f9b01ad8b5e6c79c36d0d7d2550.jpeg) ![light mount front](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/c/8/c869fd7ef4779aef9893a01594e758db419d51a6.jpeg) ![light mount side](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/0/b/0bf3436c392657fe305c07615311d5917033dde4.jpeg) ---

Iā€™m going to try and make a version for 3d printing, because I think that would be a good challenge and I havenā€™t worked on something fun and product-y in a while. ---

How about one of these? ![](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/0/2/020638bc955ad92ebe3fe707b554c7ddc327d8a2.jpeg) Gives you a vertical hole thatā€™ll take an M6 bolt for the fork crown mount. I did a quick mockup of the idea: ![image](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/f/c/fcc2683db88833aafba752e3d8d1f7679f540a0e.jpeg) ---
