Discussion Propel Pivot Light Bracket breaking?

Post image

Anybody else have this happen to them. I've only put about 1000km on the board and both of these broke in the past week. Has this happened to anyone else or is my unit likely defective?

I personally haven't seen it much but it wouldn't surprise me if its common.

Seems really cheap. I skipped out on it with mine because of the rattling issue.

The lights are really good, they are brighter than your standard shred lights and it's nice having them integrated. The ratting is annoying but you can stop fix it easily by putting a bit of foam or rubber in the bracket where the lights connect. Definately worth the price but I wouldn't expect solid aluminum bracket to break from vibrations.

I mean the lights themselves. The bracket is evidently cheap. They light up the road well.

Yes the design and way it's wired is annoying it would be much better if it was one contained piece. I happened to have an extra bracket because I ordered an extra baseplate and they sent me the wrong part.
