How to mount a bike light to an aerodynamic bike frame
Kit
- See.Sense bike light kit
- A small glass of soapy water (you can use cling film instead)
- Toilet paper
- Aerodynamic seat post
- 1 single-use pack of Sugru
Step 1
Open your single-use pack of Sugru and form it into a sausage (that's the technical term!)
Press your Sugru sausage onto the back of the light.
Step 2
Ensure that the Sugru has a good bond into the recession on the back of the light.
Make sure a little more Sugru at the top of the light.
Step 3
Rub a little soapy water on the part of the seat post you will be moulding the light to.
The soapy water acts as a release agent for the Sugru, so that the Sugru doesn't stick to the post!
* You can use cling film here instead. Just wrap a piece around the seatpost, to stop the Sugru sticking.
Step 4
Press the See.Sense bike light firmly into the seat post. Watch with wonder as the Sugru squishes to take the form of the aero post.
Step 5
Press in any Sugru that comes out of the sides.
Step 6
Remove the bike light gently. It will now be moulded to the shape of the post.
* The soapy water on the post will enable the Sugru to come away cleanly.
Step 7
Leave your Sugru + bike light to set for 12-24 hours.
Ensure the Sugru is not touching any other surfaces (as the Sugru will want to stick to that too!)
Step 8
Don't forget to wipe the seat post clean with some toilet paper.
Step 9
Ta-dah! In 12-24 hours your light will be ready to use!
