[Closed] Stopping lights revolving around the bar?

bit of old inner tube? Should provide some extra friction.

You could try a half twist to the rubber band, if possible. Should make every thing a bit tighter

Hope light bracket - much better than the rubbish rubber bands.

I was expecting a thread about getting pissed at the disco.

as Crag said, Hope quick release universal light mount.....

Would you be talking about the Halfords off-road riding light by any chance? That's the one I have this issue with. The attachment isn't on the centre of gravity, so off road riding makes it spin forwards around the bar, I've got a top-cap with a built in GoPro mount to try next, the out-front mount that it came with was far too flexible so the light pool bounced and vibrated most distractingly.

I make a shim for my bars (for the inexplicably over/undersized Halfords mounts) using neatly wrapped PVC electrical insulation tape. Works really well, as it's firm enough to not wobble - firmer than rubber - but it deforms just well enough to grip the thing you've attached to it.

Either pvc tape, duct tape or self amalgamating tape should sort it.

Doh! I've now read the last of your post 😁

Hope universal mount, fitted them to all my lights, they never move.

How does the light attach to that then? I get the bar interface, it's basically the same as the old Lumicycle mount, but I'm finding it hard to work out how the light sits on it.

Screws on, using the same threaded hole the original mount comes with? Hang on I'll take a pic...

Thats on one of those halfords 1600 lights, it also works on magicshine light bodies and you can bodge them onto good old solarstorm cheapies....

I put some of that grippy tape they put on skateboards on my bars.
That light never slipped again.

Hope or other generic qr mount.

Every time

Well this is handy, just put the Halford light on the road bike and was not looking forward to the inevitable movement.

I've some lumicycle clamps hanging around, will see if they work.

tape, glued inner tube etc on the inside of the mount, not the bars?

extra friction and should mean a rubber band type fixing will be a tad tighter. only have to do it once and it works on all 3 bikes.

a few wraps of self amalgamating tape.

Thanks! Basically the same as the Lumicycle mount. I was hoping they'd done something über clever, but sadly not 🙁

This worked for me too.

Get a decent light, even Chinese cheapo CREE's don't move.

I've an Exposure, with a mount on each bike.

Not sure what light is causing issue but me and my mate were out last night
Both with Halfords lights on bars
I mounted the wee underslung Gopro bit that came with the light and attached it to the Exsposure stem mount
It never moved
My mates on the other hand was twirling around his bars and lighting up the ground after he’s rode it😭

Self almalgamating tape for me too.

Saw the thread title and thought "maybe don't drink so much"
