I have my E3 mounted forward like that on my Hillborne. It can get a bit dirty. Might switch things around in the future. Although the Sam isn't often out in winter. However, mounting on the front of the Nitto rack might be better for me.
For the Cyo, haven't found problems with the switch. Although my tendency is to keep it on at all times. Especially now that I have a tail light hooked up. The light is on the fork crown above a fender, so is away from some of the elements. If one were to go with two lights, the Fly might be a good choice. Or, if looking to save money, the Lyt might be an option. Installed one on my wife's bike. It has a good beam pattern and she likes it better than the Lumotech Oval which it replaced. Khalid - I personally don't think mounting a light on the front fender would work. Too much vibration. A second strut in front of the light might help. Then I could see it being possible.
