works OK, but not well packaged Mar 27, 2011 By Nikwax
I bought this to attach my BP tail light to my Topeak Super Tourist rack. The hole pattern in the bracket exactly matches the hole pattern on the rack's bracket. All good there, though just a note that the bracket in this situation ends up reversed....the light clips in snugly, fortunately.

However, the PB bracket comes with zero instructions. OK, it's not rocket science to figure out, but I do think that any product that needs to be installed should at least come with a diagram. Next, fasteners: while there are four holes in the bracket, you get two bolts, two lock washers, two nuts, and an assortment of washers in various sizes. No idea what the extra washers are meant for. And I guess with four holes I might have gone with four bolts/nuts/lock washers. I can always go to the hardware store to fill the vacuum that nature abhors.

Last point: aim is very critical with any light, and especially with LED lights which are very directional. The seat post bracket that PB supplies with their lights allows for this adjustment, but the rack bracket does not, so you may end up with a misaligned tail light.

Works great Mar 22, 2008 By Jeffrey Stanley
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.

Kind of expensive for what it is... Jul 20, 2009 By Gene R. "Bike Nut"
But worth it for not having to "gerry" rig a mount to a rack.
I mounted this on my Surly Nice Rack and it works awesomely. You can't use the included nut though, but the boss on the rack is threaded, and while tight, it works wonderfully. Very solid, albeit subtle, feeling when I cut my Superflash on for the morning commute.

Attaches Light Securely To A Rear Rack Apr 19, 2011 By L. Dyer
Attaches the Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light securely to the rear taillight mount on a Topeak Explorer rack. Allows the rear light to be set to the proper angle and keeps it from vibrating around (lost the first rear blinky I purchased due to it vibrating off the rack when using the clip mount included with the light). It would have been better (and less expensive) for me to purchase the Planet Bike 3018-1 Rack Blinky 5- 5 LED Tail Light with Rack Mount and Batteries which includes the rack mount hardware.

BUY IT - Planet Bike Taillight Bracket Jul 28, 2009 By Dakotamax2
Sturdy, easy to attach, works exactly as advertised and holds the Planet Bike Taillight securely to the rear rack on 2 of our bikes. Works best when the bracket can be mounted to the extreme end of the rack or by re-tasking the rear reflector bracket/arm as a mounting point. On one bike, we have a welded steel one-piece rack/basket that has a projection over the mounting point (similar to Wald 520 Rear Baskets 13.5" x 6.25" x 11" Silver.109227). This condition required that I remove the face of the light (as if to replace the batteries), mount the back portion of the light to the bracket, and then re-install the front portion of the light. This is a slight hassle, but once the light is mounted we just leave it in place unless we feel the need to remove it when locking the bike in public.
