I know some are slotted and allow angle adjustment. Barfly makes one.

Asking because all my GPS' are set up level for aero and style. Using the faceplate bolts has them pointing up. The ability to mount to the faceplate, have the GPS level and also use a light on the GoPro mount underneath would be nice. My concern would be putting lots of weight on the stem faceplate.

I think the aero penalty from angling a computer up like a ramp is more than people realize.

In another thread in another forum, we were talking about the life long influence of formative experiences. The guest really nice bike I rode was at a test ride event, I had bright my bike in for maintenance and that offered me a way to ride for an hour while they worked on mine. All of the test bikes had cateye computers mounted on the stems, compared to mine on the bars with a light and who knows what else. That's probably had some effect on my preference.

Now I use a wrist watch instead of a bike computer.
