Pros: Strong, well-made mount that holds my 18650-based torch securely. Good price.
Cons: The top and bottom halves are connected with a swivel joint. This joint is rather loose and can't be tighted. The result is a continual, annoying rattle when riding on a dirt trail. I fixed this by securing the top to the bottom with four sections cut from an old inner tube. This stopped the rattle but it looks awful.The torch can't be removed quickly when stopping at the shops, &c. The torch won't slide out and the top half has to be removed completely. The rubber bands slow this process down further.
Other Thoughts: I've used the Fenix mount for two months and I'm not really happy with it because of the rattles. I've ordered another type of mount (cheaper, and from DX) to see if it's better.
Bottomline: If you don't mind the rattling this is a good mount. But it's not for me I'm afraid. I'm going to try another solution.
Pros: Pretty much the ultimate when it comes to secure bike mounting for a torch. Over-engineered with no weak points - it'll hold over more bumps than the rest of the bike!Can't fault if this is what you're looking for.Plenty of adjustment thanks to the long screw threads.
Cons: Not quick release by any stretch of the imagination! For a knobbly torch, it takes a lot of unscrewing.Small amount of rotational play (between notches), but nothing like as bad as other reviews seem to indicate;
Other Thoughts: It's not intended for precision laser alignment, but perfectly suited to the job of a durable bike light mount!
Bottomline: Simply; it's secure and durable.I've had less secure but quick release options, but this IS for rough riding!
Pros: I use this flashlight mount on my downhill mountain bike and occasionally go offroad. The flashlight mount is very sturdt in its attaching to the bike and in its construction. The flashlight fits SKU 01255 (9led flashlight 2 pack) very nice and snug.The unit is also made of German Bayer PVC which is designed to be element resistant.
Cons: No real cons. I was worried that the unit would not fit my thick handlebars or big flashlight. But there was no problems.
Other Thoughts: I have added a rubber band over the mount which prevents and rattling of the unit while on rough, rocky terrain.
Bottomline: The best quality mount around! Top buy.
Pros: Solidly constructed and easily adjusts to hold a wide range of flashlights. I got the black caps (and 2 extras) which I think looks better than the orange.
Cons: The pan adjustment has notches every few degrees but they are too large so the flashlight rattles. I put a rubber band under the mount to tighten it up and later replaced the band with some black silicone glue.
Other Thoughts: I have a low power, long life Planet Bike LED that I use to be seen. When I also need to see the road a 60 lumen LED flashlight (not Fenix) in this holder is just the ticket. For intense downhill mountain biking you'd need something brighter or put 2 or 3 of these on.
Bottomline: Best quality holder I've used.
