The PDW one that flashes “take on me” by aha. Enough strap to go around a reverb collar. Alternatively I think you can get GoPro mounts that go around the saddle rails & loads of lights have GoPro fitting adapters.

Any Cateye with their saddle rail mount. Or if you have a Fizik saddle they have a direct saddle mount. Both are excellent.

A lot of the better Moon lights have saddle rail fittings. Pretty sure my Nebula came with one - although I’ve never used it as it’s just around the seatpost on my road bike with the rubber band fitting.

What Ivan said. Been using the exposure saddle rail mounts for years.

Great so long as you don’t attempt to remove the light from the mount.

Glad I read this thread - I'd been removing my awesome Cateye Rapid X3 when I get to the trails, but the saddle rail mount means I don't have to!

I use a clip on light attached to my hydration pack ,it also stays visible there as lower down gets plastered in MUD.

For the cateye rapid you also need a small adaptor with a band. Pm me and I may have a spare.

I haven't found a decent clip on pack light that is rechargeable.

Exposure Red Eye for me .............

....... but obviously dependant on what your running up front
Super bright , solid clamp band clamp and super supple cable for neat routing and also beyond excellent value for money

I use a moon ring clipped onto my backpack and an exposure Tracer with the under saddle mount.

Cheers for the replies, I've gone with Guandax's recommendation of an xlite100. Will see how it goes, if all else fails the moon and exposure rail mounts seem good. 🙂
