1Up Bike Rack LED Brake/Turn Lights

[@chrislj2890]

Very nice. The company should integrate something like that into the rack as an option.

Thanks for the great idea for lighting on the rear of the rack.That rope idea for a pull bar extension is slick.I already had bought the one from 1up when I extended my rack to 4.Anyway their 1up light bar is a bit too pricey for me and found your video while searching for ideas. Thanks

This is awesome and a great idea. Looks really clean to me. I'll add some to my bike rack, and my cargo rack.

Nice idea! Also love the rope handle idea. For that, it looks like you have some sort of black hollow standoff screws that keep the 'handle' from being flush against the rack, is that right? Where'd you get those?

[@Davidwalsh4567]

I’d like more detail on this as well.

[@mrgold3591]

Any updates? How are the lights holding up and did you have any issues?

[@garthTurningCranks]

Validated my choice to do this myself. Thanks!

Thanks for a very useful video. I'll question whether velcro will work well for two reasons: the adhesive on velcro has a pretty short life when out in the elements; and while the adhesive is working, the velcro packs easily with dirt and mud to the point that it becomes ineffective. There are many reviews on amazon that criticize this style of light for being inadequate when combinations of running lights and brake/turn signals are employed. I agree that wiring in a second set of lights would be worthwhile if there is sufficient space on the bike rack. Your rope extension for the tilt release is a stroke of brilliance. Do you find that frequent lubing of the various pivot points and friction surfaces is needed? Aluminum is notoriously sticky if the surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

What`s a zap strap?

[@douglasgrabill1713]

I'm guessing a zip tie

[@lllukiosas59]

Yeah 😂 “zap straps”

YT x 1up 🔥

I looked as the ones from Curt, and in the end sent them back. Why?... Because there was no way for me to evenly install then on both sides. Also there was no way to pivot the lights down. I was also worried that when the rack was in stored position the would be sideways. Now you only need to move your license plate so its legal when they bikes hide it. Ended up with a pivoting Kody rear light system combined with a Kuat 2.0 plate adapter in a stacked configuration. Yeaaah it cost more, but it looks stellar! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpeUf4hjiZeSb9k
