Mounting a garmin on extensions question

These things work great, I suggest the XL version, the short one is quite short (1")

I use a barfly on mine and it works well.

Thanks I was hoping the mount that came with it would work but I'll have to look into these options.

Use caution with the profile design computer mount. I had my garmin fenix 2 "securely" mounted with this and a garmin watch mount. 52 miles in on a bumpy ironman Racine course, the threads let loose on the profile design mount and the whole unit hit the ground. I lost a minute of time circling back to get it and then had to hold onto the mount/watch for the next 4 miles. I don't have a better alternative right now(way it mounts is slick) but if you use one keep an eye on the mount...especially in rough conditions

why not just use the X-lab torpedo for training? You don't have to put the bottle on there just use the mount.

I have X-labs torpedo on my tri bike, but I do not use the straps. It bounced too much for my likings with the straps. I use zip ties instead and replace them twice a year.

I like this mount but didn't pull the trigger. I asked my brother who has a friend who works with plastic and cf if he could make the bar that connects the extensions. http://www.trisports.com/trisports-torpedo-bta-mount-100.html

There is always the day method of a short piece of pic between the extension. I have a piece held in place with nylon cable ties, right between the shifters.

I use the Profile Design HC mount for my XLab torpedo. They are aluminum crossbars that you zip tie to your aero bars...provides a secure mount for your torpedo cage.

I also use the Zipp Quickview TT computer mount for my Garmin...works very well with my 500.
