Is it on the bars rather than the stem? I can see that being a bit less secure.
On the bars. It’s a chunky and short stem and not sure it will fit, but to be honest I haven’t tried.
End result: Garmin hanging upside down by the bottom of any prolonged stretch of cobbles.
Yeah, that’s what I find. More so with prolonged stretches of roots and rocks, hammering down at speed.
Though to be fair do I really need the thing mounted at all for such riding? 😀
I use it mainly on the bike for the xc-ish rides, and night rides (though when dark it’s not a great deal of use. Helmet light is a bit bright and reflects off the thing).
Though with the upcoming Strava segment support for Garmin when they update the 510 firmware for it… 😉
Other reason to mount it on the bike is I try to take my compact backpack to carry as little as possible and there’s limited space for a Garmin with tools, keys, wallet & medical kit in there. It does also throw the temperature tracking way off when in a bag or pocket (do I care about what temperature it was during the ride though? 😀 ), and maybe affects the GPS lock a little.
