Is this easy to put on and take off? When parking in public or mountain biking I'd like to be able to remove it and now worry about it.

No it isn't.. when it is on it is pretty much on. Zip-ties are used to secure it to the spokes. My hope is no one will take mine when I lock up my bike somewhere. Hasn't been a problem yet.

Do not attach the light to a bike which is not your 'all around' bike. It is designed to be set and forget. It comes with a kit which allows for you to make one installment with room for a little error. So, yes fairly easy to put on (I have friggin bear paws for hands so finger dexterity is lacking) but not really meant to be removed. But you could just invest in a pack of zip ties and then you could install it as many times as you wished.

It's pretty simple to put on and remove. As long as you have a backpack or something to store it in while you have it removed, it should be fine.

No, it is not easy to put on and take off repeatedly. It is attached with several cable ties, which you can replace but the kit isn't made to be removed frequently. You might be able to work out a quick release system or contact the company, they may have a solution that isn't part of the regular kit. It's a great company, good customer service. There are theft resistant clips that come with the kit that you can use or not use.The M210 is durable, however not sure how it would hold up to mountain biking.

It can be a little sticky to get off, but once I got over my fear of breaking it, it got easier. Good luck.

I wouldn't leave my bike out of eye sight while it's on. If I had to leave my bike somewhere where I couldn't see it I'd take it with me as it's really easy to remove which is the great thing about it. Quick to throw on for long rides and easy to remove when you need to.

It´s not hard at all to remove. Very easy to do it. The second question, i can´t really say, sorry.

Not too hard to take off. As NC Teacher said, there are two hooks on top, and a bungee cord with hook on the bottom. I remember when I first put the bags on my rack, it took a lot of effort to stretch the bungee cord far enough for the bottom hook to reach. After leaving them on for about 5 months, I recently took them off to go mountain biking, and found that the bungee had stretched out a bit and was much easier to attach. In general I do lock my bike outside and leave the bags on, and they haven't been stolen or damaged by weather yet!

I have owned this model for 6 months and have had no problems removing it and putting it back on. I would suggest not doing it often though as you will stretch the outer casing.

Hmm after removing the cover once, when I collapse it, it kinda slips off and can be a pain... I hope this helps

Somewhat easy to take on and off. There are two open-faced hooks on the top, and if I recall correctly (It's on my fiance's bike) there is a bungee cord strap and hook on the bottom. The Bungee cord can be a bit hard depending on where the baskets fit on your rack (that is if I'm recalling correctly). We don't actually take them on and off. We zip tied them on to make it difficult to remove when at the store. The bike is inside any other time.

Actually it secures firmly and only takes about 10-15 seconds to remove. I never leave mine on when I lock my bike up on trips. The only improvement would be if it included a shoulder strap. I actually added one that I purchased really cheap on eBay. It makes it very easy to use it on a daily basis and not worry about how you are going to carry items around.

I've never tried removing it, it has never come off on its own - looks pretty sturdily attached. Hope that helps.

It's only takes a minute to remove, but may be hot. Mine has been in a snowy climate, made sure to put cover on as soon as it cooled down.

Try hot gluing it to your bike. It'll b fairly easy to take off if you don't like it. Not sure of any other way to do it if you've tightened the mirror as much as you can. Hope it works.

Very easy. It's a flexible "plastic" like material. I take mine off regularly also for the same reason, and I haven't had any problems so far.

Hey Belle,Id say it is relatively easy to remove, but when I lock my bike up I have not had anyone touch those lights. I think they go relatively unnoticed by pedestrians walking by, unless they are lit up. So I wouldnt worry too much about them being lifted off your bike. I think you would be more likely to get the whole wheel stolen.

Yes it is very easy to remove, I was concerned myself but setup was really easy..Worth the money for sure....I hope this was helpful...

Once the cover tis attached, it would can do it take considerable effort to remove it again. If the fears is that the cover will fall off at random, I don't think this will be an issue. As that has not been my experience. Mine has stayed on firmly without any issue. I have not tried to take my own off. However it does seem to be snug once in position.

It's very hard to take it off, I had one before, it was like this one, I just took it off to change it for this new one. if you wanna change it for a new one, you can pull it hard. You may wanna do it just if you don't wanna it anymore or you wanna change it, because it might break on the corners. Good luck!!
