Looking for a Cateye Reflector Mount

I am trying to put a reflector on my Trek Emonda, seatstay, I think the frame part is. My shop gave me a takeoff, but the band clamp does not fit my Emonda. I have been able to identify my reflector as this: 5009212CM RR-165-SLR. I found that in the Cateye catalog, but not any of the band clamps or the slide lock angle bracket. I only need the band clamp, though. The one in the picture is too big to be secure on my tube. Can anyone identify it and let me know if different sized ones are available?

Thanks,

Danny

Ok, I can't seem to get.the forum to accept the Imgur photo link, upload from my device, or to take a picture, then upload.

Now, if that fits my tube and the Cateye reflector I have, I don't know. I wish I could post the pic. of what I have. The forum won't seem to let me, or there are issues with my browser.

My bad, assumed you had this.

Have you thought about reflective red tape on the seat stays? Not quite as effective as a dedicated reflector but still good.

That is the reflector I have, except for the mount on the back. In that link, there are no mount parts similar to what is on mine. I need the same as what I have now, just usable on a smaller tube. The reflector mount is like the second line drawing from the top.

I have frequently used an old blown inner tube as my source of rubber strips that I can wrap around things to make them bigger for things like seat stay mounts for lights.

For example, I used some rubber strip cut from a inner tube to make my rack diameter bigger so I could use seat stay mounts on the rack for my taillights.



Put some tension on the rubber as you wrap it around your seatstay so that the rubber grips it better and is less likely to slide.

Question Staying out late?

I am trying to put a reflector on my Trek Emonda, seatstay ..
Being a racy road bike,
In your situation I'd apply 3M reflective red tape..
.. and an active battery tail light say under your saddle...
