Planet Bike Rack Mount, Mounts Most Planet Bike Taillights onto a Rear Rack Reviews

Summary: good product
Comment: I have yet to put mine on my rear rack however, it will do the job nicely once I do. Something to remember, get the "planet bike" tail light as other tail lights "will not" fit this bracket. Other than that the product I think is worth the extra effort.

Summary: for the Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash
Comment: I got this for the Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash Light. $5 + $5 s/h. $10 down the drain for a plastic part worth .50c . No instructions. Made in China, cheap plastic, screws. Hope it will last long but I needed it.

It fits only on a reflector groove on the rear Bicycle Rack. I had to remove the rear red reflector to put this on. It stays tight so I'm not wary of having a $25 Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash Light falling off due to some bumps. Flashes good at night.

It's held up after 5 months of riding and the Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash looks bright from the rear (not sides).

In all, very handy if you have a rear Bicycle Rack, plus put another Bicycle Tail Light under the seat post as well.

Summary: A sturdy solution
Comment: One of the difficult things cyclists face is safety to the rear. We need to be visible to drivers at night -- and the current tradition is a red light. Some riders like to have it blink (I do). Some have it on constantly. If you put a rack on your bike and carry stuff, then the traditional location for the blinkie (the seat post) is often blocked. Enter the PB tail rack bracket. I mounted this on my Blackburn rack on my commuter, and it is a superb solution -- my PB #5 rear blinkie fits fine. The PB bracket is very sturdy, and my tail light does not wobble or feel that it will come off, at all. The bracket is designed such that the light (once mounted) sits somewhat below the top of the bracket, so neither the light nor the bracket interfere with loads on the rack itself. I have one minor complaint. The bracket comes with four holes and sufficient nuts and bolts. The heads of the nuts and the bolts fit the recesses in the bracket. That's all fine. My rack came with a metal l-shaped bracket that I had to adapt to fit this (no problem there, and not PB's responsibility), but it aligned only with the two vertical holes in the center if this PB bracket. I used some zip ties to grab the outer two holes on this bracket. I think PB should include some small zip ties with the product.

Summary: Works great
Comment: Works great. I've used it for several thousand road-miles with a superflash. You do need to have a rack that is designed for tail light mounting to use it. The mount has held up well and the light is much more visible on the back of the rack instead of the seatpost. PB should include this with the light, but it is well worth $5.
