Garmin Edge mounting on Vendetta

[Kerry Kerr]

I have a Garmin Edge, ideas on mounting on boom just past the handlebars?

Why not over the handlebar clamp facing strait back at you?

Here is what mine looks like from both angles:
I have the 1000 and like it because you can put it in landscape mode.
Nice and aero too - plus now I don't have to wear glasses to see the screen. More weight savings (no I can go eat a donut!)

Perfect!! I can do that!

When I was riding a Silvio, I preferred having my Garmin just a bit further away from handlebar. So, I used a Dinotte light mount mounted on the down tube. Used same type mount for quickly mounting a light when needed. Same mount works great for my Garmin on my Tadpole Trike. Tube is huge so use two bands.

What mount did you use to mount the Garmin there, Larry? I've got the one that can use the rubber o-rings but none can seem to be stretched far enough to latch on to the mount. The distance around the handlebar and clamps is just too great, even for the large 0-rings.

Thanks,
Scott

I mount mine the same way. I use the rubber o-rings to attach the mount to the handlebar before bolting the handlebar to the slider.

Ahhhh. I will have to take a look at that. Thanks!

I looped 2 of the garmin bands together (one larger diameter, one smaller) to get more length, then 2 more of the same to get 2 complete longer bands, then there was plenty of length to install the garmin mount around the bar and clamp (crisscrossed the bands for extra stability)

Scott - You can buy "larger" o-rings on line very inexpensively. I also drilled a small hole in the handle and the Garmin mount and with a small screw attached it like that. Both work well for me

I documented what I do to mount my garmin edge in the thread above.

I don't have enough space to put the gps on the front of the bars, so it had to go above/forward.

I use 4 o-rings, combining 2 o-rings together, making 2 longer ones.
