The Ortlieb mount is more complicated than it needs to be but as Doug said they are reusable if you don't destroy the cable by over tightening. You can also get a KickFlix replacement mount that is just a simple mount (no cables). I love my Ortlieb handlebar bag. The only minor irritation is that things often wiggle out of the divider. I plan on trying a cardboard six-pack holder, which should work a little better.
