It's actually worked very well and only rotates when the road gets bumpy and the vibration will make it rotate just slightly. I was more worried about the O-Ring getting old and breaking and me losing the computer on a ride. The K-Edge being aluminum just seemed to make sense as it wouldn't dry out and crack like rubber or plastic might. The fact that it opens up the bars a little and puts the unit in front of the stem is just a bonus.

If you ride in the drops, it's pretty much in your face with the standard mount.

I also use mine on hikes, and upload to Strava. It stays in my pocket other than checking altitude periodically. For those of you who may use Strava on your hikes/runs, there is a feature called "GAP" or Grade Adjusted Pace. It drops my average mph pace in half on some really steep trails. If it would just correct for altitude, I'd be set.

Can someone post a link to one of these, or a picture, wonder how useful it would be for other things....

Biggest advantage I can see is that the stock mount uses rubber O rings to hold the mount,which could snap off,

I have an SRAM forward mount, and it looks/works great. IIRC, I shelled out about $15 on ebay.

A bit on the DIY trail....you can buy a pair of squeeze clamps that look like pliers jaws that have handles that will take velcro. A smartphone is easily attached and angle/position adjustable with a squeeze on the handles. Great for shooting vids, too.

??? I don't get it. I have a Garmin Edge, use the standard mount attached to the stem. I can read it just fine. The only time I can't really see it is when I'm off the saddle climbing. At those times I have other things on my mind..


edit: My stem is flipped. Maybe that's why it's not an issue for me.
