  1. Hi folks,

    I have a friend with a Cygolite "Rover Metro" - it's not shown on their
    website, so I presume it's not a current model. The piece bolted to the
    case which mates with the mounting bracket came loose a while ago,
    and she's mislaid it.

    Cygolite don't sell these as spares, but I'm wondering whether
    anyone has a dead or broken unit lying around from which they
    could salvage this bit for us. If it wasn't from the same model
    it could probably be bodged to fit, so that shouldn't be a problem.
    Obviously we'd pay for your trouble and postage.

    Please e-mail me at mvw at westnet.com.au if you can help - thanks!

    If you have an old bike computer, you could do butcher it and cobble
    something to the light that would work. Looking at my $10 Sigma and
    Cygolite side-by-side, it sure looks like it would be easy to do.

    I picked up a cheap 8-LED front light today, with the intention of doing
    that, since the mounting bracket is in two pieces that clip and screw
    together.

    But the light is so bright that my friend may be happy to use it (with
    rechargeables, I guess) and leave the halogen rig in the cupboard :-)

    PS It's nice to see cheap stuff with oversized-capable brackets now.
