Garmin 500 bar mount

[Tankman]

While on the roadbike the stem position works for me but on the tt setup getting the unit between the bars would be ideal... spotted at the prologue

In the plastic injection molding industry so can get these made up.

 

Generally, which design works better?

 

A single clamp on the handle bar or one that attaches to the stem bolts?

 

Do you want the computer flat with the stem or a bit higher? (Bit of a retarded moment as you can just adjust the angle that it attaches onto the handle bars.)

 

In Line with the stem height and bars to make it most aero dynamic.

 

Single clamp on the bars is going to be the most easily adaptable to all makes, as different stems have different bolt patterns.

 

I think the Barfly design is best, maybe K-edge after that.

 

@Eldron, it's nice to have it further forwards so you can read it while standing on a road bike - but I primarily want one for my TT bar setup to read in the drops while keeping my head up

This looks good too

[Tankman]

K-edge in red will go nicely with my red edge 500 but at £40 ... seems a bit rough. Adjustable though...

I've seen £35 on wiggle.

But i rate it isn't worth that much.

My K-Edge is being shipped as we type.....can't wait.

 

Got is from Glory Cycles.

R400 incl shipping

 

VAT should be another R50 or so.

Gonna get me a K-Edge

If you have a bar mounted light (Magiclight for example) doesn't the Garmin out front cause a shadow?

Do you go night riding with your road bike ...

 

Magiclight = Mtb

[MTB_Roadie]

Just for interest sake....garmin deisgned a handlebar mount and it is half the price of the K-Edge one, I ordered a K-Edge one already tho, but this will only be release in October 2012.

No, but its still dark @ 5:00 when I go out on my road bike

besides, most of our morning ride group have Magiclights of some sort

Yes I do...al my training is done pre-dawn - Streetlights do not equal magiclight

Pffft... these dirt roadies!

Just stretching your chain man!

 

These are aimed at roadies riding in a aero position or TT position

 

... or you could just move the magiclight further left or right on the bars.

 

You should be warming up between 5am and 6am ... only need to start looking at your unit once the intensity and sunlight kicks up!

Sorry guys, I have a different interpretation of night riding... normally at night, 8pm/9mp, chuck in some fat tires, mud, singletrack, mountains and all the rest.

And does the Garmin mounted out front cause any problem with the throw of light?
