Why the long straps? (Serfas Trident LED lights)

    The front light fits snug, but what's with the super long straps at the rear? Any ideas?

    I fully agree with you about the long straps, it really makes no sense at all (would have made more sense if you were provided with 4 long & 4 short straps). I too ordered the combo front/rear Serfas LED's & was also bemused when the package arrived with only 2 short & 2 long straps. I actually found the long straps to be unusable & so ordered short straps before I mounted them on my Evolve Carbon. I felt that they did not feel anywhere near as secure as the short straps & therefore would not trust using the board with them for fear of one light falling off & getting lost at some point. Plus all that excess rubber you have flapping about in the breeze at the rear, is just gonna rub on the spinning motors or get snagged on something running AT's off road!

    Just use rubber bands or hair ties (I used to have a top knot lol)

    That's exactly what I've done! Certainly good enough to keep it secure. 50c well spent! :thumbsup:

    You can always cut the rest of the rubber you don't use to ensure it won't rub the engine.
    I use those as well with velcro tape so the light stays in place if one of the straps fails...

    I contacted Serfas and asked for two small straps and they replyed:

    "This is something we normally don’t do but I'll send two smaller straps.

    Hope this helps. Maybe soon they will send 4 of each size.

    It comes like that because these are designed for bikes. The front straps are fit around a handle bar, which is typically roughly the same diameter as our trucks. The rear one is supposed to fit around a seatpost, which are usually (but not always) fairly fat but even the skinny ones are thicker than our trucks....mystery solved!
