So cool that I can throw my leg over my saddle in my garage and roll out for 10-15 mins to this magnificent view…

might as well save 100g and put it on the stem, those MTB garmin mounts are super heavy, and I found them only usefull to improve the reading while standing on the pedals (during intervals) by bringing the device further forward, for when seating down, the stem mount works and is muuuch lighter. Also it's a headache to fit a board with those (wether it's a race board or a club members board)

It is to help with the wheel alignment with the Lefty

I can only dream of the day when I will notice a 100g weight saving. I'm built like a rhino rather than a cheetah.

Good position for Garmin - mostly in wind slip of handlebar - unlike resistance and wattage loss when mounted on the top-cap or standing up on handlebar.

Just needs a bit of duct-tape from top front of Garmin and around the bar to create a smooth aircraft shape.

Yeah, 100g on a 16kg bike and a Buffalo weight class rider, it's going to make no difference...

I've never had an issue with the board thing you mention either, just hang the board on the brake cables on the front, helps to keep them tidy as well, or on one side of the bar.
3D printed mounts for your number board also exist, or are they also too heavy? Surprised we haven't petitioned TBMTBC to make more aero friendly number boards:whistling:

Its cute how you are under the impression that the lack of aero features (and size) of the TMTB boards is something that haven't seen hub rants before.

That new addition at the bottom of the Hammer rides so well. It makes that bottom bit more spicy and fun. Thanks to Patrick and his build crew for making an already great line even better. All those hundreds of runs down the skills park over the course of the last couple of months has come full circle. What a jol.
