I agree with the reviewer re the bracket supplied with this light – I had exactly the same problem. Dunno why Cateye have moved away from the simple and effective clamps used by Electron and others.

Will try the H-34 and report back – if that doesn’t work it’s zip ties and Gaffer tape!!

Nick, I’m an engineer too

It does fit and is pretty good but as I stated in my other post, it does come undone by itself.

You are crazy, man. The H-34 bracket is impossible to use. The band is too big to slide into the fitting. I am an engineer and I still can’t get it to work after 1 hour of fiddling. This product is a real piece of crap.
