WTB: GPS holder for Bicycle

[+fyrdadandson]

Good afternoon all,

Well it looks like the excitement of the new hobby is still there with my son, (and with me). I am looking for a clamp or holder for a gps V that will mount to a bicycle handlebar. Any suggestions. I saw something that might work in Cabelas in the ATV section. Just wondering if anyone else has anything.

Thanks all

Try www.ram-mount.com, I think that is right. They have many mounts for GPS and radios. You can custom build one from the bracket to the handlebar mount itself. A little more money than the Garmin one, but I have a few pieces coming for my Venture Cx.

I don't know what GPSR you have however I found one for the Garmin Etrex at REI I will try to link it

 

I did a google search and found it even cheaper. Good Luck

I have a nuvi 350 I already had a suction cup mount for it I took the reflector that was clamped to the handle bars and cut the reflector off leaving the plastic backing then I glued one of garmins smooth dash mount discs to it now I can clamp the suction cup on to the disc works great cost hardly any thing and it hasnt fallen off yet I have even taken it off road

I use the RAM mount on my recumbent with my Garmin 60CSX. I put a quick release on it and just move the unit from car to bike. Rock solid mount well worth the extra $$.

You could get a cheap generic cell phone holder and the top plate for an adjustable mounting post and screw the plate to the holder with the band of a hose clamp underneath it then wrap it around the handlebar and tighten it up.. That would most likely do the trick for under ten bucks. Maybe check out a local cellular shop. Schmooze the installer a bit and he will most likely have a whole box of junk posts with top plates to dig through and maybe he'll give you one . I used to be one of those installers by the way. The screw patterns of all those holders and plates are identical.

 

Here is a setup I made for my motorcycle. The holder and the adjustable post with an improvised steering stem mount. This type of holder and the top plate of this post and a hose clamp would work fine for a bicycle.
