Buying Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large)


It's a bike mount for a GPS, so there's not much to review. It's a decent design, but seems a bit bulky. The front of the mount is rather fat, so if you mount it too close to your brake cable (as it comes out from under the handlebar tape), you run the risk of over-bending the cable housing, which is no good. So I had to mount this very close to the stem, which solved the problem.

The other issue I have is that the mounting clip which goes on the GPS does not "seat" on the bike mount very tightly. It "clicks in" just fine, but once the unit is engaged on the mount, there is a bit of play in the connection, so if you are riding a nicely stiff road bike, every bit of road vibration will rattle the heck out of the GPS. The solution to that problem is that I wedge a piece of notecard on the mount, which takes up the slack.

So, the mount works, just not perfectly. It's just OK.Get more detail about Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large).
