So I've gotten myself an SES Aero Road Bar. But now I've got a dilemma. I've got nowhere to put my front light for my night rides.

Do you guys still use one? Where do you mount it? Is there a Garmin + Front light mount available on the market?

Lezyne makes a bunch of new lights that fit my Enve SES aero bar fine. I'm using last years Power 900XL. It has a flat mounting base but also includes a rubber round adapter for normal handlebars. Anything down to their new 350XL series and up should have you taken care of.

Ahh...Enve SES bar woes (yes, that is an SRM with packaging tape on it. No, I am not proud of that):

and i mount my batter right side up on my stem.

Sell those for the Zipp SL-70 Aero bars. Plenty of space for an out front.

That is simply unacceptable considering either the aesthetics or ergonomics [emoji28]

Not to mention a friggin hazard trying to look that far back on the cockpit. On the other hand, packaging tape is supremely weight weenie, a sub 1g mount!

Just get a stem that's not so wide and the SRM mount fits fine with the Enve SES Aero Road Bar

But now you all have me thinking that I need to get a new light for night riding.....
Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

Had this bar with a Zipp SL Sprint stem that has a wide clamp and so nothing else was going to fit on the round clamp area of the Enve bar. But I still could mount a light, computer AND a GoPro up front, with none of this taping to the top tube stuff. How? Easy.

For the light, get a light with a rubber strap mount, like this one: http://www.cygolite.com/product/dash-460-usb/. Mount it over the bars near the stem. You can also use something like this one https://www.serfas.com/products/view/668/ and mount it to a fork leg or even in front of your head tube but it's not a lot of light - more to help be seen.

As for your computer mount, use a stem bolt mount. Enve makes one, Fetha makes one, but I used the combo mount from Recmounts that allowed me to mount an outfront computer but also had a GoPro mount below so I could include a camera if I liked. So you have several options, and some are quite sleek.

It's a SRM not a Garmin and my bars are the 40cm version. I have 4 different stems sitting on my desk and none of them were narrow enough to accommodate the srm mount. It was also 540am when I did that as I needed to go on a ride and do zone specific intervals. Posted that for a few laughs, not a long term solution.

Looks really good! Do you think that mount would work with an Enve stem?
