Product Information
Full details
The Cateye RM-1 Rear Saddle Rail Mount Bracket is an ideal accessory for dedicated road cyclists and commuters who need a clean, stable mounting point for their rear safety lights. By attaching directly to your bicycle saddle rails, it frees up your seat post for other gear like saddle bags or dropper post clearance, providing a high-visibility position for your light. While it is highly secure and durable, users should note that it is designed specifically for standard saddle rails and is limited to compatibility with Cateye Rapid series lights.

FAQs
Which lights are compatible with the RM-1?
This mount is compatible with most lights in the Cateye Rapid series.
Will this fit carbon saddle rails?
The mount is designed for standard round saddle rails; use caution if installing on carbon rails to avoid over-tightening.
Can I use this with a saddle bag?
Yes, one of the primary benefits of this mount is that it moves the light off the seat post, allowing for full use of your saddle bag.
Is an Allen key included?
Please check your package contents, but generally, standard bike tools are required for the installation of this bracket.
Can I tilt the angle of the light?
The mount is designed for a fixed position, though you can adjust the angle slightly during the initial installation by repositioning the bracket on the rails.
Troubleshooting
The mount feels loose on the saddle rails.
Check the mounting bolts for tightness and ensure the rubber shims or spacers are properly seated against the rail.
Light vibrates or shifts during bumpy rides.
Re-tighten the mounting hardware to the specified torque and ensure the bracket is centered on the straight section of the rails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the RM-1, align the bracket with the saddle rails beneath your seat and secure the provided hardware using the appropriate size Allen key. Ensure that the bracket is positioned far enough back to avoid interference with the saddle shell. Compatibility is limited to Cateye Rapid series rear lights; verify that your specific model features the standard Cateye light mount interface. For maintenance, periodically check the bolt tension to ensure the mount remains tight against the rails, and clean the bracket with a damp cloth to remove road grit or mud accumulated during rides.
