    Question: Rear tail light that fits 32.4 diameter seatpost?

    I recently acquired a 2007 R3 with the FSA SL-K seatpost.  Can anyone please provide advice on finding or adapting a rear flasher/taillight to fit what I believe is this 32.4 diameter seatpost?

     How much are you looking to spend?


    I chase coyotes up hills on my Cervélo SLT.

    These are brilliant (Knog lights), I am sure you must be able to get them in the USA, but if not I think that Wiggle are pretty good at shipping to the US. Here is a link: (hmm - can't get the link to work properly, so sorry, you'll have to cut and paste): http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Knog_Coloured_Skink_Rear_Lights/5360038178/

    The best thing about them is that they leave no marks (they are just silicon) and can wrap around most things. Not sure if they would work for an SLC / S-series, but for an R3, particularly with a 32.4mm seatpost they work a treat.

    Now, I'm informed that it may not be 32.4, but 31.6

     I'll measure, but can anyone tell me definitively what the post diameter would be for a 2007 R3?

    I'd spend what's necessary within reason.  Anything under $75 would be acceptable.

     Knog Frog lights are da' bomb!

    http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/15322-225_KNOFG6-43-Brands-654-Knog/Knog-Frog-Light-Twin-Pack.htm

     Love 'em from personal experience!  They go and fit anywhere on the bars and seatpost (at least round ones)!  I would bet you could find a way to get them to fit... I dunno it they would stretch all the way around an aero sp, but... they are pretty darn stretchy.  Mayby at the top of the seatstays... I will go try one and update.

     

    Good riding!

    Go for the Knog Frog as mentioned above, it fits virtually any seatpost, helmet, frame, it's lightweight and quite cheap (around US$ 10-15).

    I had one of these Bike Planet tail lights which was about $15 CDN at MEC. Probably one of the brightest rear lights I have seen at such a low price. Fit on my 2007 R3 with FSA post: http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3034.html http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692895&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442620959
