Saw some pics of people using O-rings to mount flashlights on their handlebars.
The batteries in my cateye blinker died and since I had a bunch of flashlights and some almost depleted batteries, I thought I might as well use them.

So, saw how people used O-rings to mount their flashlights on the internet and decided to do it with inner tubes!

Basically I took a length of inner tube and cut out the center portion.

Flashlight and inner tube with center portion cut out.

Put one end through


Wrap round handlebar and put through other end

LEDs rock, put in a seemingly drained battery into the LED flashlight and they still work.
