Product Information
Full details
The CatEye Rear Rack Mount Bracket is an essential accessory for commuters, urban cyclists, and bike packers who need to mount their rear safety lights securely to a bicycle rack. It provides a stable, vibration-resistant platform that ensures your light remains highly visible to motorists, though users should ensure their specific rack design provides enough clearance for standard rear-facing mounting.

FAQs
Will this fit my Rapid X3 light?
Yes, this bracket is compatible with the CatEye Rapid series, which includes the Rapid X3.
Can I mount this on the side of the rack?
It is designed for rear-facing visibility, but can be adjusted on vertical rack struts as long as the mount remains stable.
Does this come with installation tools?
The bracket includes the necessary mounting hardware, though standard hex keys or screwdrivers may be required depending on your specific rack setup.
Is it waterproof?
The bracket is made from durable, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand rain and road spray.
Does it work with non-CatEye lights?
No, this bracket is specifically engineered for the CatEye proprietary mounting interface.
Troubleshooting
Light vibrates or shifts during use
Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened firmly to the rack frame and verify that no debris is lodged between the bracket and the tubing.
Bracket does not fit rack diameter
Check if your rack tubing exceeds standard bicycle dimensions; you may need rubber shims or an alternative mounting point on the rack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Begin by aligning the bracket with the desired position on your rack, typically near the top or middle of the rear frame. Secure the mount using the included hardware, ensuring it is tightened to prevent slipping, but avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the housing.
Compatibility: This unit works with most standard bicycle rack diameters. It is specifically compatible with the CatEye Rapid, Reflex, and Omni series.
Care: Clean the bracket periodically with a damp cloth to remove grit or road salt. If the mount feels loose after prolonged use on harsh terrain, inspect the mounting bolts for vibrations and retighten as necessary.
