TUSITA Flush Out Front Mount Compatible with Garmin Edge GPS Bike Computer, XOSS G/G+, Quarter-Turn to Friction Flange Mount Adapter Included
- Producto muy bueno para el precio que tiene, lo recomiendo
- Thought I could save a few bucks and use this instead of a OE Garmin mount. But this mount does not accept the new Garmin Power Pod to power your Edge. Other than that it looks fine.
- Very good addition to my GoPro. Very easy to install
- This is an aftermarket (aka knock-off) for the Garmin front mount. It includes both the mount (Garmin sells for $34) and the quarter turn friction flange (Garmin sells for $15). So for $15, is it good? Short answer:Yes. Long answer: keep reading.In the box: You get the mount, the quarter turn flange, two rubber spacersfor different handlebar diameter, attachment screws and an Allen wrench. There\'s also instruction booklet.Compared to Garmin: As you can see in the pictures, it is almost identical to the Garmin mount. Size of mounts is the same, thickness is pretty much the same, and attachment is the sames. There are two minor differences - first the locking screw for the mount is slightly shorter. I found this to be an issue only on one bar where the tape was extending further towards the stem. I had to mount it all the way at the wide part of the bar and it was hard to get the short screw to grab. It did eventually work by slightly trimming the spacer. The second difference is that the screw for the quarter turn flange is has a plastic head compared to Garmin\'s Allen screw. The plastic head makes it easier to swap devices and adjust angles, but generally speaking the whole point of the quarter turn flange is to keep the device on the flange and have an easy way of removing it. The only downside of the plastic head is that it makes the attachment look bulkier. Not a real issue.Fit and attachment: The unit goes on pretty easily and is held firmly on the handlebar. Testing devices on both the Tusita and the Garmin, both attached snugly with the quarter turn and did not come loose from vibrations. NOTE: The quick and easy to install picture in the item description shows attaching the bottom flange with screws. You don\'t need to do that. It has the quarter turn female top and quarter turn male bottom for quick attachments.Final verdict: Usually I try to give my business to the original designers rather than go for cheaper knock-off. In the case of Garmin, however, I find that after spending hundreds of dollars on their units, they tend to still charge a large premium for accessories. In this case, I would go for the $15 dollar Tusita instead of the $34+$15 Garmin option.Disclaimer note: I received this unit as part of Amazon Vine (Amazon sent me the unit in order to write a review). The obligation is to Amazon for an honest review, not to Tusita.
- Like many cyclists, I have a Garmin bike computer. It came with what Garmin calls an \"up front\" handlebar mount. It works great but I have two bikes and like to move the Garmin computer between bikes.I was going to buy another Garmin up front mount but found this mount for less than half the price of a Garmin mount. I was a little leery given the price but thought I\'d give it a try. I\'m glad I did!The Tusita mount isn\'t quite as \"beefy\" as the Garmin mount but that doesn\'t seem to affect the sturdiness or usability of the mount. My Garmin computer fits perfectly on the mount and doesn\'t wobble or move around while riding.This mount has the same features as the Garmin mount. Same quarter turn mount. Same under computer mount for an additional accessory (like a light or camera). All at less than half the price.Highly recommended.
- I mounted this on my vintage road bike so I could use my Hammerhead Karoo 2. It was easy to mount and looks to accommodate 3 handlebar sizes. I used the thickest rubber sleeve and it was a clean tight fit with the single socket head cap screw securing the mount. It was bit of pain as my brake/deraileur cable routing exits the handlebar tape in close proximity to the mount location. The mount is made of plastic but does appear to be of high quality. Recommended!
- I got this Garmin mount since it had the bottom base that\'s compatible with the Varia headlamp, a nice addition that most aftermarket (and some Garmin) mounts do not support. It\'s made well; very stiff and with the rubber Garmin style bands that go between it and the handlebars so it doesn\'t slip once mounted. However the angle of the lower Varia base is not the same as on the Garmin mount. This mount has it parallel with the top Edge mount whereas the Garmin mount has it angled downward. So while the Varia lamp does attach to this base, it will be pointing at the sky unless you readjust the angle, which is a pain.So if you\'re starting with a Varia, or gopro, or whatever and don\'t have a mount, this will work great since it includes all the attachments. If you\'re hoping to just swap the varia/gopro/headlamp between the garmin mount on one bike and this mount on another bike without adjusting any angles, then you\'re beat.
- This is very functional and definitely work as a garmin mount with a gopro adapter under it. The construction seems to be of quality plastic and it comes with rubber spacers to fit both 35mm and 31.8mm bars. My only concern is that because it is plastic it might not stand up to a crash. For road use this is probably perfect, and likely very functional for mountain bike use, but I still have my concerns about the ability to weather a crash.
