Re: Help Me Choose A Headlight

Yes, that can be true. Depending on where you mount the light, you may
find yourself turning into a shadow when going right or left. This is
most prevalent if you mount the light on a fork leg below the top of the
tire. If you use a high profile rim, the size of the shadow will be
larger, too. This bothers some people more than others; I don't care
for it myself.

I solve this by mounting my light at the fork crown on a bike with no
handlebar bag, or on my other brevet bike at the front of my front rack
on which my handlebar bag sits. With the fork crown mount, there is
just a small thin shadow right in front of the wheel that doesn't bother
me. It's in about this position:

That's a very attractive setup. The light in question is expensive
enough compared to my relatively modest needs and budget that I'd want
to see how well I can make my existing lights work before springing for
it.

This time of year, my needs are pretty well met by a single handlebar-
mounted LED. This thread has gotten me thinking about my winter commuter
though. For that bike good ground illumination is critical. I'm also
short on handlebar space ever since switching to thumb shifters. I
suspect I'll end up either improvising some kind of fork crown mount,
or hanging the lights under something like the Minoura Space Grip.
