Customer Reviews
I wish I had read the other reviews first
I'm not sure why the other reviewers are so charitable, given that they indicate the product does not work properly without help from rubber bands. My GPS fell off twice over small bumps on the first ride. Imagine the horror of seeing your $400 GPS bouncing down the road behind you...
There is no reasonable alternative to mount the unit on the bike, so I will cross my fingers and use two strong rubber bands to augment the unreliable item purchased from Garmin. It couldn't cost Garmin much more to produce a good bracket mount.
Having said that, the60Csx is really tough and designed for abuse. With all the skidding and bouncing, it only has a few scratches on the corners. The display was protected by the design of the unit (it is recessed).
UPDATE: I found one that works! It's a bit heavy, but no problems with this one, no matter how many bumps. It's about $28 or so.
Search Amazon for; "RAM Handlebar Mount Garmin 60". You should find it.
Too bad it doesn't come with the GPS back plate
If you have a race bike with a light aluminum handle bar, it probably has a diameter of more than 25 mm. Then this mount is the one you need. It comfortably fits any handle bar with a diameter in the range of 25 to 32 mm. It comes with three rubber strips of different thickness to adjust to the proper size.
It is too bad that you need to purchase this mount on top of the bicycle mount that is delivered with the special clipped backing for your Garmin. The standard mount does not fit any rail with a diameter larger than 25 mm.
In my case, I switched bikes and my new bike had a wider bar. So I'm lucky to have a mount now on both the old and new bike. But if you start from scratch, and have wide handle bar, you are faced with two purchases.
Garmin 60 bike mount
Be careful with this mount. Use the lanyard as a backup. GPS can and will come loose from bracket. I also use 2 Livestrong bracelets to hold gps in place. The mount broke in two last weekend an inch & 1/2 from top. Just ordered a replacement. I hope Garmin has improved design. This bracket was purchased 9 months ago. It has aproximately 2000 miles of road bike use on it. The Garmin 60 CS is one tough unit. It has hit the pavement more than once and only has a few scatches.
