Aero Seatpost - Rear Red Light

[jwess1234]

Anyone have any recommendations for a bright rear red light to fit on an aero seatpost?

I have a Felt AR and want to put a light centered on the rear post.

I currently have a Serfas Shield (TL60) i like running, but the band is not big enough. Would be ideal to find something similar in terms of brightness / flash run time / etc.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The Serfas Orion taillight is superb, bright, and will fit an aero post....and hideously expensive. But its a good one.

My new niterider sentinel came with an aero seat post [inverted] wedge. Run time with the "lane" flash and regular flash is an hour however.

I have a 2d generation Cycliq Fly 6 with an aero seatpost converter that perhaps could use a new home.

FWIW - I've had luck finding a large rubber/synthetic O-ring at the hardware store that would allow me to use the same light on an oversized post.

Cateye Rapid X3 (or 2) with an oring you can get from a bearing shop that will fit your seatpost.

Light and Motion has an adapter for their taillight. I have one and it's very nice. Frankly, the light is more solidly mounted on the aero post than on the round post. I like it.

The Cygolite Hot Rod would probably work and it is a very bright blinkie.

The new Cateye Rapid series lights can mount on aero posts.

I use a cygolite hotrod on the moderately aero shaped integrated seat mast on my Ridley Helium. Works great.

Happy with my Light and Motion. wedge for aero seatpost with a L and M VIS180 rear light. My friends like the amber light feature when I ride in group too.

Thank you all--great options for me to take a look over now. I appreciate the community support as always!!!

Bump.
Any new recommendations since 2018?

saddle mount depending on your saddle is the way to go.
Either 3d printed or something that mounts to the saddle rails and has a go pro type interface to mount your light to.

What saddle are you running? If you have a seat pack, ignore unless you want to fix it to that.

The Vis 180 is a great light....

I didn't dig through all the listings here, but this guy might already have a Felt AR offering... but if not, he can design one for you to fit your bike and your desired light.
I reached out to him for a Varia mount for my 3T Strada. I sent him a few pictures and measurements, and two days later he had a full 3d rendering for me and had it placed onto his Shapeways profile for me to order. About 7 days later I got it in the mail... Really impressive stuff!

A Serfas Thunderbolt (https://www.serfas.com/shop/products/lights/utl-6-thunderbolt-usb/) should fit on any aero seatpost, though it may not point straight out the back depending on your STA.

I will mention though that, while the Thunderbolt is very bright, it does not hold a charge for very long; on its brightest flashing mode I can rarely get more than 90, maybe 120 minutes out of a charge. otoh I don't think mine is the latest version, so perhaps they've addressed that shortcoming in the newer models?

Edit: website says 2.5 hours on high flash mode. :::sadface:::

Planet Bike has an aero seatpost mount that works with several of their taillights:
