Crowded handlebars
I am having trouble mounting accessories on my road bike drop handlebars. I have a Garmin 705 bike computer, Nite Rider Minewt light, and a GoPro camera. Any ideas on how to fit everything?

The Dajia accessory mount is one of the best I’ve ever used if you have a 4 bolt faceplate. Good and solid. It can’t twist on the bars like other mounts can.

The 705 uses a different mount than newer Garmin devices use.
You can get an adapter than converts between the two. It might let you use options that work for newer models.

Yes, the Garmin 705 is a big part of the problem , I have to slide it horizontally onto the mount which means I can't have anything else on the bar where it slides on/off. I guess I will have to go with a Garmin upfront mount and quarter turn adapter. My bike has narrow handlebars and I have bar tape which may need to be unwound to allow a little more mountable bar area.
Thanks for all the posted idea's to explore.
