Planet Bike Tail Light Rack Bracket
Customer Reviews
I bought this to attach my BP tail light to my Topeak Super Tourist rack. The hole pattern in the bracket exactly matches the hole pattern on the rack's bracket. All good there, though just a note that the bracket in this situation ends up reversed....the light clips in snugly, fortunately.
However, the PB bracket comes with zero instructions. OK, it's not rocket science to figure out, but I do think that any product that needs to be installed should at least come with a diagram. Next, fasteners: while there are four holes in the bracket, you get two bolts, two lock washers, two nuts, and an assortment of washers in various sizes. No idea what the extra washers are meant for. And I guess with four holes I might have gone with four bolts/nuts/lock washers. I can always go to the hardware store to fill the vacuum that nature abhors.
Last point: aim is very critical with any light, and especially with LED lights which are very directional. The seat post bracket that PB supplies with their lights allows for this adjustment, but the rack bracket does not, so you may end up with a misaligned tail light.
But worth it for not having to "gerry" rig a mount to a rack.
I mounted this on my Surly Nice Rack and it works awesomely. You can't use the included nut though, but the boss on the rack is threaded, and while tight, it works wonderfully. Very solid, albeit subtle, feeling when I cut my Superflash on for the morning commute.
