I have to modify a Lezene front light bracket for my Roadie as the rear of the light is shaped to accept normal round bars, mine are Aero 🙄

So, last night I got thinking, someone mentioned (on here) that you can buy mouldable plastic in a state that can me manipulated then it somehow sets hard.

If I could get hold of this that would help remould a small "filler" for the rear of the light bracket so it fits against my Aero bars.

Anyone have a link or know where I can get hold of this stuff??

[url= http://sugru.com ]Sugru[/url] might be the stuff you're looking for?

Sets as a hard rubber rather than solid - but should be up to the job for holding lights on.

Good stuff, used it to hold my GoPro on the side of my Fox helmet, still stick on solid now, even after several crashes during Megavalanche.

Polymorph is a mouldable plastic. Sugru is a silicon rubber. Milliput is the one you will want to use, it isn't so sensitive to heat.

I think the reason it was in the sale bins was that they discontinued it.

I got some recently from Amazon as I could't find any proper shops that stocked it.
