Subject: Rear light/reflector on tri bike frame
Hi all,

Any recommendations on a rear light/reflector that will fit on a tri bike seat post?  The standard clamp seems to fit only on the standard cylindrical seatpost.

Thanks!

I got this one to put on for training rides.  It has a soft rubber clamp that fits most any shape seatpost.

use the clip that is on the back of most every blinky ato hook over a cable tie and then pull the tie tight round the post, fit's any shape then.

I just opened the zipper a bit on my under seat bag and clipped the light to the bag... works great!

Electric tape. I have two lights- one flat one that I just tape to the back of my seat. The other is the standard elongated blinky and I just ghetto-rig it to the post with tape. I really like the zip-tie idea though. I'll be changing the ghetto version to that.

Yeah - electical tape can get kinda yucky after a while. You can also look into velcro if you want something that can be easily removed - you can get that at any LOWES or Home Poopoo.
