Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads This is maybe a stupid question, but does anyone recognize this light setup? Looks very light and simple. I am looking for a bracket and light like this, but can’t seem to find this anywhere… Thanks!!! by adumedavo Bicycling Bikepacking Biking Cycling

snacktonomy on May 27, 2025 2:11 pm Looks like a Bontrager (now Trek) Ion on a custom-bent bracket. Pretty minimal, but that light isn’t very bright for fast road or gravel riding, I think its more of a “see me” or “I’m out past dark accidentally and I need *something* to get me home” https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/bike-accessories/bike-lights/bike-light-sets/trek-ion-100-r/flare-r-city-bike-light-set/p/41443/

I have that light. I do not recommend that light.
Bracket might be from a Brompton bike front light.
