maybe we should laser cut a bunch

scroll down to “Bracket Schmidt Delux”. I’ve been running that one upside down on 31.8 dropbars for a couple of years, installs really easily, holds the light just fine.

Well dammit, sorry about that. I bought based on tarck recomendation too, but I haven’t actually used any of that stuff myself yet.
Insert audiophile jokes about the plastic fibers giving the light more presence and danceability.

Another handlebar-related mount option is to tap the top of the IQ-Cyo heat sink and mount that to a Garmin out-front mount. @jimmythefly suggested it here: Small bikes that aren't horrible compromises - #74 by jimmythefly
I set my wife’s bike up this way. She’s on 650b wheel with a <100mm head tube, so it basically puts the light in the same place as a fork crown mount would. My version doesn’t look as nice as JP Weigle’s, but it worked well.
Using:
- Barfly garmin/gopro mount
- Lezyne-GoPro adapter
- loooong M4 bolt that runs all the way through the light, heatsink, and adapter

Yeah I don’t know what that was all about. I just did some looking at some various other speaker cables and didn’t seem to see the plastic strands, but whatever was linked on tarck BITD definitely had them and I couldn’t work with it.
This stuff is the actual business shartmo:
Probably kinda expensive for wire but I think Perennial is a good place to buy a bunch of spare connectors and shit anyway so you can add disconnects next to racks and fenders etc.
looks like $3-4 each from 3/16" 6061. I have zero forks that can use this though so I don’t plan to order a run.
I’ve done this but couldn’t find my posting but found someone else’s

I wound up with a bar mount from Lupine that put it right in front of the stem. It’s slim and elegant and totally solved it. I’ll post pics when I re-do all the cables nicely.
Thanks everyone who chimed in with all the help.

Next up, the cabling to the rear. If I find a way to get the cable into the gear/brake cable port on the head tube, would it be stupid to drill a hole in the seatpost to let out at the bottom of the clamp slit?

that’s slick. i guess you could do the same thing less slick with a 31.8 gopro mount

I have access to a laser cutter. Like a real one with a laser that doesn’t fit in my car. And bunches of acrylic and wood and junk. So if you want to do a run of 1 to… any? and you want it to be acrylic or… similar. I can just do that.
