Rick.Garrett Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Is there such a thing as a bicycle handlebar mount for a GPSIII, and, if so, where would I look? Or, shold I stick with the Hillbilly standby, Duct Tape and Velcro? Thanks, Rick N9GSU Quote Link to comment
+wickedsprint Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 I could have sworn they made a bar mount... Quote Link to comment

bnolan Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 (edited) I use the Garmin handlebar mount for road biking, but I would not trust if for mountain biking.

otterbuff Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I absolutely recommend the RAM Mount system for a GPS. In the old forums I posted a discussion on this, but I can’t find it now:-(. The takeaway is that I was looking for a mount for a Garmin Legend. I decided to spend the extra money for the RAM mount. I have crashed enough times with NO problems to the RAM Mount. As a matter of fact, I think it is the most solid thing on my bike. Quote Link to comment
gpsaccessories Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 You guys have the right idea. The ram mounts are very good, the factory handlbar mounts do vibrate loose or transmit shock to the gps unit with any kind of rough use. Better yet try a Touratech mount- available in the us from cycoactive.com for about $85. Mine covered 7,000+ miles of north africas worst "roads" and never came loose, while factory mounts on the same trip broke into pieces. (my used touratech gps 3 mount is for sale $65- the clamps are a bit bent but still work and the mount itself kicks butt!) -Ed Quote Link to comment
