This is the front fender for the Niner that I customized earlier
(→here)
I'm using an aluminum spacer fitted into the slot of the stay component.
This is an expansion slot—basically like a bottle cage mounting hole
on a frame that doesn't have a bottle cage attached.
I removed the spacer.
This time I'm adding a front light bracket here.
Reckmont® makes
this kind of part.
It lets you attach a Cat Eye rear light to a GoPro-standard mounting bracket.

In practice, I think it's usually used
upside-down from how it appears in the image above.
I cut off one of the slot-insertion parts on this.
Since the fender stay itself was originally designed for dual-mounting
but I've modified it to single-mount,
I'm not planning to attach a heavy light.
I inserted it into the empty slot from before.
I won't claim it's perfectly centered to 0.1mm,
but the structure naturally keeps it centered.
The bracket portion and the light's insertion part
are secured by a bolt,
and you can rotate the orientation in 90° increments.
This time I'm setting it to insert from above,
but if you insert it from the side like in the image above,
it won't be centered on the bracket.
You might be wondering why I'm using a rear light bracket
to install a front light.
Cat Eye makes a light called the NANO F,
and when you remove the dedicated rubber band
that attaches it to handlebars and such,
it has a mounting interface designed to attach
to the company's rear light bracket.
The Nano F has a mode called Daytime Hyperflash that I don't really care about,
which comes in three settings with runtimes of
19, 11, and 35 hours respectively.
The standard lighting modes are High and Low,
with High at 100 lumens and 1.25 hours (1 hour 15 minutes),
and Low at 5 lumens for 23 hours—
quite an extreme setup.
High has brightness that qualifies as a headlight
under traffic regulations.
Painted the pink in the center of the right flower, then masked it
Painted the white in the center of the left flower, then masked it
Painted the white on the right flower petals, then masked it
Painted the yellow on the left flower petals, then masked it
Painted the body with yellow-green, then
peeled back the masking tape
I used two-color gradation for the yellow-green
because I couldn't match the fender color through color mixing
Attached the Nano F to the bracket.
It's a vivid color, but somehow it disappears (camouflage).
