I did think about putting the light on the fork like that but then...I didn't do it? So....I don't know. It probably would have been fine. But if I mount it to the fork leg then I don't need the front rack, but I want the front rack. So it's staying as is for now. Might try what you say on another bike though.
The 47 canonballs looked good and were probably wide enough for road plus. Would you consider 700s in future? I am waiting for another dynamo to come up second hand before I get started on another wheelset.
Much prefer to post rides than endless bike fettling. Trying to move my life away from fettling towards riding.
Belagerent-
Yeah I quite fancy a front rack like that for aesthetics but i really wouldn't put much on it.
Would you consider 700s in future
Yes - I'm in the process of setting up some Hope 20Fives, i bought used 700x32 Ramparts and they're not sealing up as easily as the Cannonballs did. And I'm going to work away from home for a few weeks so wont ride them for a while yet.

I agree, in fact I'd like to really move my life away from thinking about fettling. I hoping to take some time for some 3-4 hour rides soon once my kids sleep better.

Nice clothing palette, and very atmospheric write up.

I have some things to try on mine to try and get the most out of it, and some propaganda to get together for my thread. I quite liked 650x47 Teravail cannonballs - they were the TLE tanwall version. they seemed to roll on tarmac quite well.
Did you try mounting the light (on the bracket) directly to the fork leg?
interested to see what you go with for the front rack. And I like seeing you post rides in here so nice one
