Bacchetta OAB light mounts
Feb 27th, 2011, 3:54pm
 
I have been using an OAB on my CA 2.0, and it failed this weekend.  I would highly recommend checking them for flex at the mount arm, especially if you use a heavy light and ride rough roads.

Bryan, which OAB version are you using? There's 2/3 different version. Nelson & I discovered this last year after I upgraded to the CA2.0. The 1st generation seems to be a bit sturdier.

This was the latest version, less than 2 months old.  I'll be shipping the piece back to Bacchetta so they can see what needs to be done to improve the product.
 
For the record, I was running a NiteRider Moab, light and mount weigh in just under 8 oz, and was on some serious crappy roads.

After my light mount broke for the second time I decided to get the terracycle mount. They have differnt models for various apllications.

That's the Terra Cycle Mount, I just put one on my CA 2.0 and it survived a beating this weekend (unlike my stomach)
