3.0 out of 5 stars works OK, but not well packaged, March 26, 2011

This review is from: Planet Bike Tail Light Rack Bracket (Sports)
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 direct ional. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, March 22, 2008

Works great. I've used it for several thousand road-miles with a superflash. You do need to have a rack that is designed for tail light mounting to use it. The mount has held up well and the light is much more visible on the back of the rack instead of the seatpost. PB should include this with the light, but it is well worth .

5.0 out of 5 stars Attaches Light Securely To A Rear Rack, April 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Planet Bike Tail Light Rack Bracket (Sports)
Attaches the Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light securely to the rear taillight mount on a Topeak Explorer rack. Allows the rear light to be set to the proper angle and keeps it from vibrating around (lost the first rear blinky I purchased due to it vibrating off the rack when using the clip mount included with the light). It would have been better (and less expensive) for me to purchase the Planet Bike 3018-1 Rack Blinky 5- 5 LED Tail Light with Rack Mount and Batteries which includes the rack mount hardware.
