Hi Adam,
I use a planet bike 1-watt on my X0-1. Mounted to one side of the
stem; I'm using moustache bars too. I'm running Tiagra levers so
cables are under the bar tape.
Couldn't that work for now? Those planet bikes are useful little
lights...good for commuting...I imagine the 2 watt is twice
, is that the bike was
actually paid for (not lurking on my credit card) by the time I
received it.
Enjoy your new bike!
