Garmin bar mount

Just picked up one of these. Been looking for something less ugly and far more "out-front" than Garmin's own mount and this is it! Puts the screen right where I want it, no havng to look right down and almost backwards. Well chuffed!

Comment by Jason Amy on April 17, 2012 at 18:32: Andy! You're a tech person, 3D printing is everywhere now. You and me can master the basics CAD software and buy a simple plastics printer for under $1,000 now. Then we can get making anything we want! Looks like the guys at Raceware have cribbed the BarFly and are making their own version in the UK. Good idea! Will take a picture of mine when I get it back from Doctor D, who's servicing it after it's untimely crash at the weekend and adding a few of his special touches.

Comment by Andy Dawson on April 17, 2012 at 13:49: Also noticed that the raceware mount is 3D printed. Have I missed something or is this (amazing) ability to manufacture via 3D printing quietly creeping into our lives without much of a fanfare? I posted a video recently on manufacturing a bike with a 3D printer

Comment by Andy Dawson on April 17, 2012 at 13:07: I want one! Does the 500 attach using the usual baseplate/rubber O rings?

Moderator Comment by Richard Gate on April 17, 2012 at 12:40: The Acor mount arrived this morning, 12 days from order for delivery. Works really well and is very adjustable to place the garmin just in the right place. I cut down the tube in length to make it even neater

I also hear that Quarq will be offering one soon but no news as when.

Comment by Andy Dawson on April 16, 2012 at 18:58: Looks good. And it's available for the 500! Did you buy it direct from the site you linked to or from a UK supplier?
