The Problem: The original mount included with this Rockbros tail light is quite bulky. It's designed to double as a seatpost mount, meaning the back part protrudes too much and interferes with the seatpost when you try to mount it neatly under the saddle on the rails—especially on a mountain bike where space is limited.

The Solution: I completely reverse-engineered the twist-and-click mechanism to ensure a perfect fit for the light, but changed the outer shell.

  • Removed the bulky seatpost contact area.

  • Removed the grooves for the rubber band (as this is strictly for saddle rail mounting).

  • Shortened the tabs that rest on the saddle rails to make it fit easily into tight spaces.

Mounting: Just like the original rail mount, this custom piece is secured to your saddle rails using two simple zip ties. It sits firmly and doesn't rattle.

Recommended Print Settings:

  • Material: PETG or ASA (Highly recommended for UV and weather resistance, and to withstand MTB vibrations).

  • Walls/Perimeters: 4 (For structural strength around the zip tie holes and the twist-lock mechanism).

  • Infill: 20%

  • Orientation: Print flat on the build plate.

  • Supports: No supports needed.
