Hello, I have to agree re: the IQ CYO. I used the N plus variant for two very cold, very dark Northern Wyoming winters. The N plus put a lot of light on the road. As far as quick release. Velo-orange sells a mount that replaces the nut on your hub quick release. So the light would move with the wheel between bikes if one were so inclined.
http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/lighting/dynamo/low-down-light-mount-type-ii.html I used that mount for the aforementioned two winters. I'm down to one bike and am using the rack mount as an attachment point, so I would be willing to part with it. Just a thought. Good luck with your wheel/light/mount journey.
