After last week’s review of Exposure’s Flare tail light, Rob from English Cycles was in touch to show off his slick integrated Flare mount. By working a Flare into his seat tube, Rob was able to address our primary complaint- the Flare’s downward-facing bracket- and keep opportunists from making off with the little guy. Hear it from Rob himself, and see more images, after the break…
Glad to see you like the Exposure Flare – I just set one up integrated into a socket in the seatmast, so it is mounted at the correct angle and is securely attached to the bike (remove the seatpost to access the mounting bolt); a couple of customers have already requested the same treatment on their upcoming frames.
Cheers,
Rob
