Todd, I used the very same light on a 3 hour mountain bike night ride that had both fire roads and single track. The light did not rotate on the mount. You can rotate it by hand as you ride (which I have done) but there is enough friction so it does not rotate on it’s own.

Franz, how does that mount hold up during mountain bike riding? Seems like it might rotate on the handlebar after enough bumps?

David, good question. I added a section to the above blog to describe the mounting including a photo. It takes me less than 30 seconds to put it on my bike.

Hi Franz,
How was the quality of the handlebar mount? Given that all the weight is on that mount (no separate battery), are you confident that it will hold firm and will last? It it easy to take on and off the bike (don’t want to leave it on the bike while at work or shopping)?
Thanks!

Franz, great report, where can you purchase this? I’ve been looking and almost purchased the “other” good self contained setup; this looks much better!!
