Garmin Forerunner Bicycle Mount Kit

• I have owned one of these for years and used with several different watches over that time. It is still as good as the day I bought it. Finally bought a second to put on another bike.
• I\'m using this in-between the aero bars on a road bike. in my infinite resourcefulness, I used athletic tape at the end of the aero bars (right under my chin) as a \"bridge\" and installed this mount to the athletic tape. It\'s not a perfect solution but has helf up for hundreds of miles so far. I will eventually tighten up the tape and re-mount this mount but so far so good.... yes, you read that right, I\'m still using a Forerunner 920XT ;) Let me know if you want pics!
• The first thing I noticed is that one of the zip ties broke during initial install. It appears they\'re \"quick release\" zip ties. Go to local hardware supply and get strong zip ties. Bring the included pair with you so you can match the width. The length is simply trimmed after installation; however, the longer the better for installation purposes.I don\'t feel the mount kit is strong enough unless I use the zip ties. A whole pack of replacement ties is very cheap, so don\'t fret about cutting them repeatedly to reinstall.The  Quick Release Kit  for my  Garmin Forerunner 920XT  raises the bezel too high for every day use, so I use this mount kit. It\'s slightly time consuming to connect/disconnect the watch band to this mount, especially when you\'re tired from exercise. If I ever get good enough to really care about an extra 30 seconds (max) on my triathlon transition times I\'ll probably install the Quick Release Kit for races only.I had some confusion installing the mount kit. Some tips:- Install the kit with the \"Garmin\" advertisement facing forward.- Feed the zip ties starting in the rear (non-Garmin side), bottom position then over the top and back down. After cinching the zip ties, rotate/slide the zip tie clasp forward so it neatly hides in the front void.Would I buy it again? Yes. It\'s pretty cheap and it works.
• It does exactly what it says. If you want to have your watch mounted on your handlebars, this will do that. I have a Fenix 6 with a 22mm wide band and it fits. Any watch with an adjustable strap will work.
• I bought this to be able to mount my Fenix3 on my bike while I ride. I didn\'t like having my Fenix on my wrist when riding, and this is the perfect solution. It would really work with any watch, so I\'m not sure why they market it for just the Forerunner series. The mount is rubber... just snap it on over an empty space in your handlebars, strap your watch to it and your off... I don\'t even bother with the cable ties. They aren\'t needed as the watch strap itself holds the mount in place... and without the cable ties I can easily remove the mount if I don\'t want it on for some reason.This thing saved me from having to use a dedicated bike computer. I have Garmin speed and cadence sensors on the bike linked to the Fenix3 watch and use the Fenix GPS to track my rides. This mount allowed me to completely get rid of my cateye computer, which didn\'t have nearly as many features as the Garmin setup anyhow.It\'s a simple and awesome solution if you have a GPS sports watch and ride a bike.
• Sirve para colocar mi Garmin en Bicleta.
• There\'s nothing special to say here. This device gives your GPS watch a bulky enough area to simply strap the wristband around.My fiance and I are using it with our Garmin 205\'s. She has the smaller wristband and I have the larger, and this device works with both. As far as I can tell, there\'s absolutely no reason it wouldn\'t work with any GPS watch with a wrist strap. I did not use the ties to permanently attach it to the bike - it stays on just fine with the watch keeping it in place. And it\'s much nicer to have it on the handlebar than on my wrist.If you\'re doing triathlons and using the same watch for bike and run, and you\'re trying to shave seconds off your transition time, this probably isn\'t for you, as getting it off the bike can be a little annoying (but for my purposes, not annoying enough to justify the alternate device that is easier to transition, but that people complain the watch can fall out of). Also, if you\'re a serious competitor and care about the weight of your bike down to the gram, this probably isn\'t for you as it\'s a little on the heavy side.
• I have an aluminum road bicycle with a 1 inch diameter flat bar. I outfitted it with aftermarket aero bars, so there\'s not a whole lot of room to install a GPS mount, or at least when I do install something, the display isn\'t visible in the riding position. Nonetheless, this Garmin mount fits. Unfortunately, the polymer/rubber mount material doesn\'t grip the bar well enough and requires yanking on the zip-ties to get a really snug fit. Even then, it can still rotate with vibration and some force.That said, this allows an easy way for any GPS multi-sport watch to be mounted to a bicycle. I also have a Motorola Motoactv that fits on this mount kit with the watch band!What I\'d change with this design is to make it slimmer and more narrow. My Forerunner 305 isn\'t exactly a slim watch, it is an odd shape that takes up some space, and this mount isn\'t the slimmest either.Overall: 5/5 stars, great value and an easy way to mount any GPS watch to your bicycle, not just a Garmin Forerunner.
