First time I see a garmin mounted "inside" the bar 👌🏻 I like that idea 💡 always see the guys with it mounted out front, so it's one of the first things to take an impact. 

Not sure about that, if you do crash, your bar will take some wild swings which means the Garmin mount will connect with the frame or steer tube and likely snap.

I do agree with your thought if the out front mounting being vulnerable as well which is why I mount mine on the stem ... if to short you can get the top caps with mount.

Just my 2c worth

Our annual 2 day trip to Riebeek Kasteel happened this past weekend... pure gravel riding heaven.

We call it the Riebeek Roller.

My 530 case broke, or then the mounting brackets, from a very minor incident, mounted out front.

 

I am back to mounting the Garmin on the stem.

Perfect description of the end of year rush ....

 

 

The views are so worth the effort.

Broke arm when I was 4 months old, DJR. So, sitting lekka skeef in the saddle with my body geometry. Doing my daily yoghurt on the yoga mat to stay aligned, supple and loose.
