Best Tek Garmin Stem Mount, Stem Mount for Garmin Computer, Adjustable Black
- The Best Tek Garmin Stem Mount, Stem Mount for Garmin Computer, Adjustable Black is easy to install. It was thin enough that I was able to use my factory bolt and still have plenty of thread engagement in the star nut without removing any lower spacers.My Garmin Edge 530 locks in to it smoothly and stays in place. The small screws that hold the plastic locking ring in place are very low quality. Their hex sockets were a loose 2.5mm and very easy to strip. All of the screws were also loose out of the bag. I strongly recommend applying thread lock to all of the screws. The larger pivot screw had to be torqued uncomfortably hard before the mount stopped hinging. If they had included a small lock washer, this problem would be solved.For the price, this mount is fine. Just be careful when tightening the screws so you don\'t strip them and put thread locking compound on all of them. Since the hardware is so flimsy, I wouldn\'t completely trust this to hold an expensive Garmin on a mountain bike, or any bike subject to a lot of impacts and vibration. I have it on a gravel bike, but made sure to use the Garmin\'s safety lanyard. I will update if I have any issues in the future.
- Can no longer use the mount ( didn\'t last a season) because the screws stripped. The screws are used to adjust the inner mechanism so you can run your Garmin in either direction. I would recommend ONLY If the hardware was better quality.
- The media could not be loaded. This is a review of Best Tek Garmin Stem Mount, Stem Mount for Garmin Computer, Adjustable BlackI looked at several other mounts before deciding to get this one. I\'m very happy with this so far and the only reason I\'d change my opinion would be if this were to break in some way.This is a solidly built, stem mount that fits my Edge 500 perfectly. Since it is a stem mount it sits a little closer and some riders may prefer the mounts that get the computer out in front of the handlebars a little bit more. I don\'t mind it being a little closer in, so this works nicely for me. It does have an adjustment to tilt the mount upwards, but I keep it as flat as it can be.Attaching this took all of about 2 minutes. You just need 2 different sized Allen wrenches. I used a 3mm for the tilt screw and a 5mm to get the Top Cap bolt out. Place the Top Cap on top of the mount, reinsert the Top Cap bolt and tighten. you\'re good to go.
- I’ve had this product on my mountain bike for about a year now. Works very well. The installation was very easy. I noticed some complained about the hinge being loose. I have had no such issues.Secures your GPS in a much safer location on a MTB given it’s not as far out in front in the event of a crash.I like this product so much I just bought a second for my other new bike!
- This thing was easy to mount and did the job. I was a bit worried the pivot screw would not be tight enough to hold my Garmin 1000 but it did. I had a pretty decent crash on the mountain bike and the mount held up but the plastic that holds the Garmin broke. I would probably still buy another one because of the price point but I have decided to use my Garmin 235 watch to start recording my MTB rides. Either way, if you are looking for a stem mount, save your money on getting the K-Edge an give this one a try. You cant be the value for the price.
- A very good Stem mount for Garmin devices. Nice and secure.But if you are have other items attached to the Stem Cap (like a thermometer or clock), this mount may not allow the Garmin to be placed into the mount if you want to have the Garmin on the Stem. Mounting it sideways might be an option. As shown in the picture, mounting it sideways, the thermometer and the Garmin device is viewable. It can also be folded either down or up.
- I own the KEdge version of this mount and thought I\'d give this less expensive option a try. The first photo is this item on one bike and the KEdge on another. The only issue - which is pretty fundamental - is that the two pieces moved freely even when the bolt was tightened all the way. To fix this I ground down a bit of the headset-side piece and inserted a small washer to take up space (see circled area in second photo). I have a Garmin 1030 and always use the tether with all my bikes, but have had no issues with this mount at all. Would buy again.
- The garmin mount I had was absolute garbage and always sat off center on my handlebars. I bought this thing and its perfect!!!
