Product Information
Full details
The Moon RB-38 Helix Saddle Rail Mount is designed for cyclists who prioritize a clean cockpit and consistent rear visibility. This mounting solution attaches directly to your bicycle saddle rails, providing a secure, vibration-resistant platform for your rear light that clears up space on your seatpost. While it offers a professional aesthetic, it is specifically engineered for use with compatible Moon lighting systems and may not fit non-standard saddle rail configurations.

FAQs
Does this mount work with any saddle?
It is compatible with most standard metal-railed bicycle saddles. It may not fit specialized oversized carbon oval rails.
Is it compatible with my Helix Pro light?
Yes, the RB-38 is specifically designed to support the Helix Pro and several other models in the Helix and Orcus series.
Can I use this with a dropper post?
Yes, this is an excellent solution for dropper post users, as it keeps the light off the seatpost itself, allowing the post to travel freely.
Does it come with tools for installation?
The mount typically requires standard hex keys which are not included in the package.
Can the mount be angled?
The bracket provides a fixed orientation relative to the rails to keep the light consistent, though minor adjustments can be made depending on where you position the mount along the rail length.
Troubleshooting
Light feels loose in the mount
Check the locking mechanism on the bracket and ensure the light is fully clicked into the 'home' position.
Bracket slips on the saddle rails
Ensure the clamping bolts are tightened securely. If the rails are exceptionally smooth, a small piece of rubber inner tube can be used as a gasket to increase friction.
Pros and Cons

- Not suitable for some oversized carbon saddle rails
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the RB-38, align the bracket clamp with your saddle rails and tighten the hardware until the mount is firm to the touch. Ensure the bracket is positioned far enough back so that the light doesn't interfere with your legs while pedaling.
Compatibility: This mount is designed for the Moon Helix Lite, Helix Pro, Helix Max, Orcus, and Orcus Lite. It is not universal and should not be forced onto lights from other brands.
Care: Periodically check the mounting bolts after rides over particularly rough surfaces, as high-frequency vibrations can occasionally loosen hardware over time. Clean the bracket with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that could degrade the composite material.
