The front mount for the Lezyne 1100xl front light is joke and a disgrace.
If you fear the fragility of mounting the battery light on the Carbon handlebars,
I'd just add a wrap of Gaffers tape to cover the carbon ,
before adding a plastic bar mounted QR headlight clip..
maybe you need a 2nd bike for the dark half of the year.. outfitted differently
I have a bike with mudguards and pannier racks (on the fork) for keeping rain gear handy..
hub dynamo powered lights , so battery run time is a non issue..
plastic/'pleather' covered saddle , etc..
but I'm just a practical, old, guy.. bikes of metal..
