Work As Expected, November 6, 2009
By Eric (Roseville, CA)
|
|
The parts work as expected. Quick shipping, but the shipping charges were a bit high compared to other vendors shipping similar parts. I have very narrow handlebars, but the straps adjust to fit. The key is screw it down tight and it won't move. I also have these mounted on Toptek Bar Extenders and they fit just fine.

easy to adjust bracket, December 22, 2010
By zizzwheel

I needed this bracket to replace the one on my Planet Bike 3 led light. The one on it was good for 26.0 bars only. This bracket works great on larger 31.8 bars and is easy to install and holds securley. Easy to install light on bracket. If you need an upgrade or replacement, this is the bracket for you.

A GENEROUS MOVE by Planet Bike, September 16, 2010
By RF Man (Clifton New Jersey)

First of all the Blaze headlight is the most powerful light for the money and I have 2 on ever bike I own thanks to "PB" making the extra brackets available! They fit ALL handlebars! I use 1 on each side of my stem and let them hang to keep them out of the way.Cam brackets are also available for the Blinky taillight as well,they come as a kit to mount the cam eiether on the seat stem or seat stay tube for only a couple of bucks! GREAT STUFF!!!AFFORDABLE!!!

I needed a couple of extra brackets so I could easily switch lights to different bikes. Worked as expected.

WORKS AS ADVERTISED, April 16, 2012
By SkunkApeMan (Miami)

Cost effective solution to buying a second set of lights for my backup commuter bike. Would have given the product 5 stars had they added a rubber shim to the package. My original Blinky light came with the rubber shim which helps hold the bracket in place when you hit a bump. Yeah, I know the bracket's adjustable. Where I ride I need the rubber shim to get it tight enough not to move when I hit a bump. ;-)

Just doesn't stay up, March 16, 2012
By John Paul L. Finan (Wisconsin, USA)
|

I think my hands are plenty strong, but no matter how hard I tighten this thing, my headlight is always pointing down after ten miles. Maybe there's a trick I don't don't know about, since Planet Bike makes very solid gear, in general. It goes on nicely, adjusts fast, and seems like a nice bracket - except it doesn't work.

Poor quality, December 27, 2011
By Alan Ebanks
|
|
Bought for about $3 not expecting to be pleasantly surpriced by its quality, but it's not bad at all, It will hold your light securely, just make sure it's on really tight. I would not recommend it, but it's not bad bracket.

Doesn't work, December 4, 2011
By Robin Johnson (Waltham, MA USA)
|

I don't know what kind of riding the other reviewers do, but a few bumps and my bike light is facing the ground with this clamp. The design makes it impossible to get the clamp on truly tight. I guess the point is to make it quick, which it is not for me.
I should note that I'm a woman, and this clamp is extremely hard for me to tighten on my own. But I've even had guys tighten it for me (including bike shop employees) and within a few days, it's loosened itself again. I'd be better off with duct tape, which I might start using soon.

Very poorly designed, November 8, 2011
By E. Wilson (FL, USA)
|

I gave this one star because it's almost non-fuctional. The clasp part at the bottom that you push up to 'latch' it closed doesn't stay closed. I twisted it to get the screw part out to the correct length, and I clicked the ratcheting strap in to get it tight enough to hold firm, and like I said, the clasp part doesn't stay down for even a second. If that's not bad enough, the little rails that the light slides onto must be slightly too small because my light rattles a little, which is really annoying. To keep my light securely on, I have a rubber band around the clasp to keep it closed, and two zip ties to keep the light secure and centered. That kind of eliminates the whole quick-release feature and it looks pretty ghetto too. I'm considering jury-rigging the whole thing by disconnecting the top rail part somehow, tossing the rest, and possibly figure a way to use a metal hose clamp or something else to connect it to my handlebars. We'll see. I'm fairly mechanically-inclined, so I'm sure I did it right, but I'm open to suggestions if I'm doing something wrong.
