Garmin quarter mount options?

[zonevbkr]

Hi everyone, was curious if anyone has found a way to mount a Garmin head unit in front of the four bolts that connect the handlebars to the “stem”?

This may go under the category of 3D printer or future Cruzbike accessory, but was curious.

Closest I found was this guy:

Garmin Edge® Mountain Bike Mount

Be ready for any terrain with this mountain bike mount designed specifically for bikes with short stems. It’s ideal for off-road riding when you may not want your Edge bike computer mounted in front of your handlebar.

I think this might be able to be positioned over that spot, but not really designed for that.

But really what I was thinking was like a quarter turn mount that came with slightly longer bolts and the mount would just be in front….though unsure if that would work or not.

Thanks and happy holidays and happy riding!

Yeah! That’s what I was thinking of. What model mount is that?

This is the way I have mine mounted...using the stock mount and bands. The only problem I ran into was that from time to time I hit it with my belly as I went to get off the bike. This broke the plastic mount. I was able to fix it by using this kit...see below. Works great and is more durable and secure.

Thanks. Unsure why, but with mine I got a different mount / arm. Would have preferred what is shown above, but with Google, found it.

Also thanks on the tip, I can see the same thing happening with me - it getting caught when I get on | off.

Glad you found it. When I get off, I usually tilt up the Garmin computer to get it off the way. With the band mounting, you can move it up and down.

BTW, if you’re interested in making your own, there’s some 3d printing talk here.

What do I do with to much time on my hands ???

Design and print an aero cover for my Lezyne GPS computer. Guaranteed to shave nanoseconds off of every mile :)

I have a edge 530 and it came with a tether. The old 500 would do the same, hit it my belly and it would come flying off.
