Biking in autumn: Helmet lights - mounting tips
A helmet light can quickly add well over 100 grams to your head. To ensure that the additional weight doesn't get in the way too much, you should bear a few points in mind when fitting it.


TIP

With 3M Dual-Lock Velcro tape, small lamps and batteries can be practically and securely attached to the helmet and easily removed again. Six adhesive pads (25.4 x 50 mm) are available for around 8 euros.

Central position If only the lamp is placed on the head, it should be centred and not too far forward. Otherwise, the helmet will quickly slide too low onto the face in the event of impacts.

For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
