About Front Lights
Cycle light technology has moved on greatly over the years, traditional 'bulb' lights have been more or less replaced by LED and HID systems. Battery, lens and reflector technology has been improved greatly resulting in brighter and longer run times. Wiggle lists a large selection of bicycle lights suitable for lit streets in the city, or unlit country lanes and even bike lights suitable for off road riding, ranging from around £8 to over £300 they vary greatly in purpose and performance. Tiny LED's with flashing or constant modes are great for being seen in built up areas, whilst rechargeable systems can keep the road or off-road trails lit up for non-stop riding at night.
About the Knog brand
KNOG is a unique global cycling accessories brand, based in Melbourne, Australia, established since 2002. From the drawing board to the final product, they create bike lights and bike locks that use materials, shapes and colours in ways never seen, products that are both technically superior and awesome to use.

Great for a to be seen light This is my second light, the other died after getting too wet this winter.

Bright and funky light
Bought 2 of these for our kids bikes, and the occasional night run down to the shops. I have a more serious rechargeable light for the daily commute, but you could use this if you were stuck. They are quite bright, not quite as much so as the 5 led Knog Toad, but then you wouldn't expect it. More importantly, they will make you very visible. Really easy to attach to the bike, but don't forget to remove it as it only takes a thief a second to unhook it (learnt this the hard way).

Great Product
First thing you notice is it has a really minimalist look on your bars.
And it is so easy to remove for when I lock my bike on the street. I have been asked by people if I have a light on my bike, that is until you turn it on.
Light is quite bright and visible, but particularly for cars to see you. The light is not as focused as some products, so if you were riding on unlit roads/ bike paths a more high powered/focused light would be beneficial. As far as your visibility goes this is a great product and with the blinking feature the batteries last for a long time.

Easy on/Easy off
Just so easy to use, brighter than I expected and works well on my fat handlebars! Leaves the handlebars free of clutter when not in use as its ount as such is built in, brilliant!

Answer:
Yes I have 3T oversized bars the elastic strap provides a good secure fit.Also fits oval TT bars
Answer:
It fits everywhere on my racing bicycles handle bars, which are roundish. If you by oval mean oval like a drop, then they might fit. However, if they are not round towards the front, then they will not fit. The back of the front is plastic and round.3 years, 7 months ago
Answer:
yes very flexible starp4 years, 1 month ago
Answer:
Hi Richard,I've also got oversize handle bars and use these lights, they are a very good fit, if you have angled bars then you might want to think about getting lights you can change the angle on, if you are using them as a main light rather than flashers in traffic.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Yes there is quite a bit of stretch in the light fitting.4 years, 3 months ago

Yes - the latex is really stretchy and will cling around anything!4 years, 5 months ago
Answer:
Yes, that is why I bought mine as I have FSA wing aero bars and could not find many lights that would fit. The strap is a bit tight when putting it on the bar and I've only been using it for a few weeks so I don't know how long it will last.Country : Australia
Answer:
For sure. I use this on all my bikes and handlebars. So easy to put on!4 years, 6 months ago
Answer:
Yes I'm sure it will, my handlebars are too fat for most lights but this works fine. I also have a Knog for my rear light which fits on my aero seat post so you should have no problems with your bars.Country : United Kingdom

Looking for a good helmet light to replace my BLT Lid-LED which has failed (disappointingly quickly - only lasted a year). If the Knog cannot be helmet-mounted, any alternative ideas are welcome!

I have found the best helmet lights are those that clip on to the plastic strap on the back. That way, they are are angled perfectly as well.Country : Australia

Answer:
I haven't tried it on my helmet, but I don't think the strap would be long enough. I don't think this is bright enough to use to light your path, though.Country : Australia
Answer:
It doesn't fit too well on a Giro Ionos. I can just about get it to attach.It depends if you want it for visibility or to make yourself more visible to other.

Answer:
Doesn't come with a clip. Designed to fit handlebars, no helmet fitting possible, I'd say. But it works brilliantly on a 'bar.Answer:
they do smaller twin packs with strobe leds.great value from this site.
Answer:
Probably can - depends on the number of helmet vents, as with any lighting bracket. The latex bracket is incredibly stretchy tho so I'd say you're in the best position having this light!4 years, 5 months ago
Answer:
Not really.4 years, 5 months ago
Answer:
Probably not. The light sits directly in front of the bar when facing forward (not on top of the bar) so if you could attach it to a rib of a helment it would face upwads not forward and the direction it points is not really adjestable.Country : Australia

Answer:
I'd say it can't be helmet mounted without a lot of messing about.4 years, 6 months ago
Answer:
Not ideal! I tried for you, my Giro has slots in the right place and with a struggle I could have got the Gekko to fix OK but it would be very tight, maybe compromise both helmet polystyrene and the Gekko strap plus it would point up in the sky.I use a Petzl Tactikka head torch on my 'lid' secured with a cable tie to stop it slipping upwards, the head is then adjustable to get the angle forward. (and if your rear light fails you can spin it round for red too) This has been dropped, trodden on, 'dunked' soaked and other stuff and it still works!

Answer:
Depending in the helmet you had you could probably get it to fit. This picture might give you a better idea of how you might get them on:http://www.flickr.com/photos/46012612@N00/3481025021/
Personally I wouldn't as you'd either damage your helmet or the Knog in the process. An alternative would be to get a couple of the Knog Frogs as they're smaller and would be easier to loop into a helmet. Another alternative would be the Cateye SL110 Loop. Again smaller and easier to loop through a helmet.
Or you could go for a dedicated helmet light or head torch? Probably pricier, but purpose built.

It sticks like glue to most things via stretchy silicone strap

Answer:
You could give it a go as the product is a hardy rubber as appose to a hard moulded plastic. However, on a normal handle bar the stretch limit is almost reached so anything bigger may damage the product making it unusable.2 years, 4 months ago
Answer:
Hi,Don't think so, it's best suited to bars between 25-40mm diameter.
2 years, 11 months ago
Answer:
The silicone will fit. However, the middle of the back is plastic, and slightly rounded. Any pipe should be about handle bar size, or it will be too large or too small. The silicone is not very stretchy.3 years, 7 months ago
Answer:
It'll probably be too tight on forks, they fith my handlebars perfectly. They're made of silicon rubber so the double band stretches round the 'bar and goes over a clip built into the body of the light. I don't think they'll go over forks but on a handlebar they're at the correct angle for the road.Answer:
It is primarily a handle bar mount. It is a loop with a clip. Put the loop around the handlebar and put it over the clip. Simple and effective.4 years, 3 months ago
Answer:
Yes, definately will - the latex is very stretchy, as well as grippy.4 years, 5 months ago

Answer:
They should fit to pretty much any shaped fork, as long as it's at least 1 cm in diameter. The stretchy bit wraps around and hooks onto the light.Country : Australia

Answer:
Hi,The chord that wrap round the fork is a elastic silicone material. SO they'll fit around pretty much any shape. Have a look here for a picture of the unit:
