My bike light's position on the handlebar prevented me from using handlebar bags for bikepacking.

So I cut the cables and soldered SON coaxial connectors onto them. I also soldered two extension cables together, one of which I fitted with a splitter. I can connect a V4.0 bike charger to it to charge my devices. The light is mounted on an Aero Mount at the front of the bag.

It actually works, and I’m pretty proud of it. :-)

Den hatte ich auch erst auf der Liste, habe mich aber dann umentschieden. Kleiner, leichter, günstiger, ohne integrierten Speicher. :)

Nice. I had a similar challenge on an ATB with a top-loading front bag, ended up mounting my Sinewave Beacon 2 lamp / USB charger to the front of the front rack with a Supernova mount. I also had to re-solder some new wiring / connectors to deliver from the coax at the top of the fork to the new segment.

The light should be way more stable the way you built it. My Aero Bag wobbles a bit when I'm riding. 😬

@sscherfke went a slightly different route to get my lights to work bikepacking. Only issue would be full compression of the fork which I find unlikely as if it ever happened my took bag would be an issue as well, and considering my tool bag has been there for 1500km of single track, probably never an issue. Nice hack you did!

@sscherfke Und bist du happy mit dem Lader? Bin etwas neidisch auf die Größe und Gewicht, mein Gerät ist viel größer und schwerer, allerdings ist da auch schon ein knapp 7000mAh “Pufferakku” verbaut (Lumicon P5). Kannst du damit direkt ein Handy laden, ohne Puffer?
