Re: Dynamo carbon fork mounting options

I appreciate the very creative idea you have suggested. But I'm not really a sticky tape finish kind of person.

Please see pics of fork/mount

This is wild!

Yes, I agree that personal preference would be the fork crown due to my experiences of beam spread when located elsewhere

I will post some pictures

Dynamo carbon fork mounting options

Hi,

I have a full carbon fork on my bike. I also have a dynamo wheel and light I am transferring from my audax set up. And like most full carbon forks on 'gravel/allroad' bikes out there it has an eyelet at the back of the fork for mudguard mounting but not at the front.

Please can someone point me in the direction of mounting options? Some have suggested handlebar mounts or thru axle mounts but the light/beam spread always works best at the top of the fork above a mudguard IMO. A bit like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/34072799@N02/17190239952/

So far all I can think to do is buy this https://www.hebie.de/en/parking/stand-a ... r/bracket/

...and fit so it attaches to the rear of the fork, goes under the fork and then hammer it into a more vertical shape for light mounting at the front.

I would be grateful for any advice

USED continental grand prix 4 season clincher tyre 28mm 700c

Used, but with loads of life left, pair of 700x28mm continental grand prix 4 season tyres

Excellent all year round road or fast commuting tyre. Maybe the best on the market.

Cyclist mag states...Puncture resistance is way above that offered by the fastest race tyres yet rolling resistance feels pretty similar. Grip is excellent, particularly in the wet...
