[RBW] Re: Hanging Edelux + Nitto Big Front
Bill thanks for the suggestion, actually thats how i have my current light, but i've never liked it aesthetically and i feel it gets in the way--even though that makes the most practical sense (out in front, best light distribution etc). david, thanks, i was thinking about p-clamps too, and that seems to be the simplest option. appreciate all the ideas everybody! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

How do you propose he “try that” on a Nitto Big Front Rack?? I don’t see any suitable location to utilize a Sheldon nut on a Nitto Big Front Rack. That is a good general solution that I am using on a Marks Rack. I’m also using that solution on a Campee F27. Unless I’m overlooking a very clever mechanical maneuver, it’s not an option on a Nitto Big Front, because there is no good place to put it. You could hide it way in the back where the stays are fixed but that’s a lousy place for a lamp and it would prevent you from hanging a pannier, which kind of defeats the purpose of the Big Front Rack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

On a Big Front Rack, or on ANY Nitto Rack with a front reflector tab, I would always attach the dynamo headlamp to that front tab, using one of these: https://www.rivbike.com/collections/lights/products/edelux-light-mounts A hanging Edelux might look a little goofy since the mount goes UP and then the lamp comes DOWN, but I would still put it there. In fact, my HubbuHubbuH tandem came with dynamo wheels and I have a Big Front Rack on there, and I am just about to pick a lamp. That's definitely where it's going, with that mount.
