"I mount to my road bike, mt bike and in the car.



The whole mounting concept needs to be rethought. 1) The clip on the GPS side will break. Once it starts wobbling like a loose tooth, get a new mount.

It includes a couple of rubber pads for some customization, but they can't make a unit that will fit /any/ size bar. I bought a bar extender to fit on my motorcycle, and use it directly on my road bike's handleba …"  Read Full Review »

"Well I mounted this on my mountain bike. Unfortunately, my GPS unit is lost now!! I thought it fit a bit loose on my bike, but I figured I would notice it if it ever came off. Well it launched and I forgot it was on the bike. If you do mount it, may be strap some velcro around it. Or better yet, lea …"  Read Full Review »

"Nice to have the Etrex on the bars. Mount takes up some space.
