It took me some time to determine where in this bicycle to install this rear light.
This rear light has been designed to fix in the rear end of a cargo rack. But this bicycle doesn't have a rack.
I thought of fixing it in the seat post clamp, but the seat post tube is so short that its light will be blocked by the rear wheel.
If I clamp it in the seat post, the adjustment of the seat height will be constrained. So this is not an option too.
Finally, I decided to fix it just beneath the saddle, and use its fixing bolt. But this poses a danger, because if the bolt is not fastened tightly enough, the saddle may get loose, and cause an accident.
I cut two short pieces of stainless steel strips from a recycled toilet water tank push lever. After drilling holes and bending, I screwed them with the rear light body, then attached to the saddle bolt, and fastened the bolt very tightly.
The result is totally perfect!
決定把尾燈裝在這部腳踏車的什麼地方,花了我不少時間.
這個尾燈的原本設計是要裝在貨架尾端的,可是這部腳踏車沒有貨架.
想把它裝在座桿固定夾,但它的座管太短,後輪會把光線擋住.
如果把它夾在座桿上,又會影響座墊的高度調整,所以也不是理想的選擇.
最後決定把它固定在坐墊下,並利用它的固定螺栓.這有一個危險,就是如果螺栓鎖得不夠緊,坐墊可能鬆脫造成意外.
我從回收的馬桶水箱按水拉桿切出二小段不鏽鋼片,鑽孔、彎曲後,用螺絲把它們和尾燈本體固定在一起,然後穿在座墊固定螺栓上,用力鎖緊.
結果非常完美!
