How does that helmet mount attach to your helmet? Is there some kind of threaded female receiver in the helmet or what? I'm looking for a similar mount that will avoid a permanent adhesive mount, to use on several different helmets. Lots of options with bulky straps but nothing I've seen is that clean.
I always make sure my helmets have go-pro mounts/adapters...and I always make sure the lights I buy offer go-pro style mounting.

Same reason, I don't like f-ing around with straps, plus I want to put my lights on ski helmets sometimes, etc.

Yeah, the Smith Forefronts (1 and 2) have a threaded screw hole right there built in to the helmet. The 3D printed doodad is specific to the Forefront, it has a rib/lip on the bottom that sits just inside the vent hole to prevent it from spinning or turning side to side. It's pretty slick.

Edit to add pics of my helmet...

Pretty slick, thanks. Guess you could just drill a hole in one of the adhesive mounts and maybe stick a piece of rubber in between but yeah, super clean set up. :thumb:

Been doing nightrides with the V2 Gloworm, but tonight was the first real "all at night" night ride, 2hrs 45 min. Still had 4/10 bars left at end, around 26F.

Just spotted the Ravemen 6000 Lumen light, they sell direct outta China and look to be cheaper and less shit looking than Magigshines.
I only want a little light, and Ravemen make lights with low beam short throw for commuting, I have to cover my Niteriders if someone is coming the other way as the beam pattern is factory set to maximum cuntishness.

EDIT- Not cheaper than Magicshine, had the wrong currency selected.

Looks nice, but $480 USD.

Huh, showed up as $350 USD when I had the currency set incorrectly, maybe because there was no import tax to Oz......?
What price does it show from this link?- https://shop.ravemen.com/products/xr6000?_pos=1&_sid=a665f129a&_ss=r
It shows $350 at first, but then magically changes to $480 :panic:


:edit: Now I see the currency thing in the bottom right. So the $480 is just an estimate then, they'll just charge $350 USD.

Confusing way to do it, with the wording at the top of the site. :busted:

I just use a bic lighter and I protect the flame with a small plastic cover. Not too strong, not too expensive.

Um this looks more shit.
The magicshine has xhp50 led chips which a pair realistically probably put out more light than this entire assmbly with its pile of baby D leds.
