If you have the second mount and it appears to be for the handlebar and not the stem, remember you can "twist" it to be the same as the other one.

 

It might sound lobvious, but it was not for me when I looked at it for the 1st time.

and it's also a lot easier if you take the cable-ties out first.

Hi.

 

There are two common problems with the Edge 305.

 

1. The retaining clip on the mount breaks off very easily and although the mount still "works" the unit can then slip out very easily. Be careful! Replacement mounts are relatively expensive.

 

2.  If you use it while mountain biking in wet/muddy conditions you will inevitably get a splash of mud on the face of the unit. What happens then is that a grain of sand/gravel will get into/under the pushbuttons on the front and they will either stop working altogether, stick in the down position or require a very hard push to activate. It is possible to prise the button off and clean it out but you need to be very careful not to lose the o-ring seal under the button. Try this at your own risk.

 

Apart from that they apear to work well. Useful route information can be downloaded at www.motionbased.com Check it out. It takes a bit of perseverance to figure out how the web site works.
