Rugged just like the car mount. |
|
This is rugged just like the car mount. I have yet to use it though. I plan to put it on my snowmobile this winter and use the bread crumb feature on rides. |

Fragile Product |
I used this product on my road bicycle. It's a terribly fragile. After a few hundred miles of use, the top loop on the mount cracked, allowing my 60csx to pop out. That's when I learned the trick of using the wrist strap on the GPS unit as a backup.
Thinking it might be a fluke, I tried another one. (Thank you REI!) It broke the same way. So did the one after that.
Now I just carry the unit in my back pocket. :-( |

Works Well |
I had read a lot of the reviews stating that this mount was nto stong enought to keep their GPS on the bike. I mainly do biking on roads and "rails to trails" paths so I am not a "rugged" biker.
This mount worked very well for me. No movement whatsoever. I enjoy Geocaching while riding my bike, and this was a great addition to me favorite "sport." |

Holds GPS securely. Won't fit well on large diameter handlebars |
|
First, mounting was tricky as the unit will not fit larger diameter handlebars very well at all. I did not end up with the position of the GPS that I wanted, but it's close enough. As for securely mounting the GPS? I've riden several hundred miles since installing it without incident. This includes a 17 MPH body slam (@#!$ wet railroad tracks!) that left me looking at my front wheel with sky in the background (pain starts here)but the GPS still securely in it's mount. I can see from the construction of the mount that there are weak areas that may be a problem down the road. Also, getting GPS in and out of the mount with one hand is a trick. All told, a good value. |

Watch out for vibration with this one |
I have this mount on my Vulcan 1600 for the map10. It works Great!!! but.. The vibration killed the GPS unit after 29,560 miles, about 3 years.
Thats why I'm looking for something new now. Sturgis, S.D. is next month and I live in Fla. about 4,000 mi. Good Luck!! |
