Anyone have an opinion on the Profile Universal Computer Mount? I upgraded my computer to the Vetta V100 wireless but it has a funky shape which leaves me no-place to mount it. I am riding with the Aero Drink already on the aerobars so my options are kind of limited. I am thinking of trying some type of universal mount and putting it up in front of where the Aero Drink will be but that will place it close to my hands.

Anyone have any other ideas on mounting the computer?

I have one of those for my Vetta-100. I got the long one. The computer stays on it very well. My only complaint is that the long mount is longer than the space between the aerobars is wide, so it sort of sits on top of the aerobar instead of hanging between them. (I hope you can picture that.) You might want to measure yours and figure out which size is right for you. Otherwise, like I said, it works very well.

I also use the aero bottle, so I mounted my RT 88 on the stem cap. I used zip ties to secure it. It's a decent sized computer and I was really struggling about where to put it. I tried a couple of diff spots before settling on the stem. I'm able to turn w/o any issues and I can scan down quickly to look at it. If you want a pic, I can post one. Lemme know.

I just bought the Profile Mount and tried it out and it does not fit ?!?!?!
I guess thats because up where your hands go (the olny place to mount it) the Aero Bars are thicker than everywhere else. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'll try another brand and see if I have better luck.
The stem cap is not an option since this Vetta Computer is such an odd shape. It kind of looks like a "L" and the zip ties go top to bottom so there is no way is will ever fit on the stem.
