Product Information
Full details
The CatEye CFB-100 Centre Fork Light Bracket is the ideal solution for cyclists who need to clear their handlebars of clutter or accommodate front-mounted accessories like handlebar bags. By mounting your light directly to the fork crown, it provides a stable, low-profile position that keeps your beam focused exactly where you need it, though users should ensure their brake bolt or fender eyelet provides adequate clearance before installation.

FAQs
Which CatEye lights are compatible with the CFB-100?
It is compatible with most CatEye front lights, including the AMPP, Volt, SYNC Core, and HL-EL series.
Can I install this on a carbon fork?
Yes, but ensure you follow the bicycle manufacturer's torque settings to avoid damaging the carbon structure.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The bracket uses your bicycle's existing brake bolt or fender eyelet for attachment.
Will this work if I have a front rack?
It depends on the rack design; if the rack utilizes the same fork crown hole, you may need a longer bolt or a different mounting point.
Can I use this for mountain biking?
While it is very secure, ensure your fork style and front tire clearance allow for a low-mounted light without risk of collision during full suspension travel.
Troubleshooting
Light vibrates or moves while riding
Ensure the mounting bolt at the fork crown is fully tightened and that the bracket is seated flush against the fork.
Beam is pointed too high or too low
Loosen the angular adjustment screw on the bracket, pivot the light to the desired angle, and securely tighten the screw.
Bracket interferes with front brake cable
Check the cable routing to ensure the bracket does not push against the housing; you may need to adjust your brake cable length or routing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Clears handlebar space for accessories or bags
- Positions light closer to the road for better depth perception
- Compatible with many popular CatEye light series
- Sturdy construction ensures light remains secure on rough terrain
- Adjustable angle ensures correct beam projection
Cons
- Requires specific fork crown bolt clearance
- May be obstructed by some front mudguards or rack stays
- Less accessible for on-the-fly mode adjustments compared to handlebar mounts
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the CFB-100, remove the front brake bolt or use the dedicated fender eyelet on the fork crown to sandwich the bracket in place. Ensure the bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent the bracket from rotating over bumps. Periodically check that the adjustment screw remains tight, as vibrations can occasionally loosen the angle settings over time. Avoid using excessive force when tightening the mounting bolt against carbon fork structures.
