edited April 2015 in Road buying advice
Looking to buy an out front mount for my mahoosive Edge 810. Any recommendations, I know Garmin do there own, which is pricey. Also K edge which again pricey, and then we have the ebay specials cheap and middle of the road superstar components which I`m favouring at the moment ? Any of these going to snap on me :shock:

    Ok ordered was leaning towards those anyway seem to look very solid and sit better on the bars.

    i haven't got a bike computer, my mate has the same garmin as you and uses the sram quickview mount, he hasn't complained about it (he's a perennial moaner..headwinds..dogs off leads..idiots in polar white audis..farmers muck dragged onto roads, all that on one ride around cannock chase last sunday !) yet

    make them leave a space for me;
    whether bones, or dust,
    or ashes once among them I'll be free

    Amazon, got one up for the new bike and it does the job just as well as any other.

    Got the superstar one - which I use with a Bryton. Works fine and well made.

  • To answer OP I have a SRAM mount and find it great.

    However, I have just gotten a GoPro and want some recommendations for a Garmin Edge and a Go Pro combined mount?
    Or, at the risk of hijacking this thread (which I don't want to do), if there is a simple single mount for the GoPro, that might work as well....

    What's the best solution for either of these?

    Stem captain mount looks like good cockpit space utilization, only on US site though. The UK one has just gimmicks like watch, compass etc

    I use this one too and it is great.... +1
  • Superstar ones are great. Ok, so not quite as refined as a K-Edge, but at less than half the price, I bought two...

    Any decent (cheaper) options for XL mount apart from Garmin and K-Edge? I got a cheap ebay one for one for the bikes but the garmin just rattles around on it
  • The aforementioned Superstar ones!

    They're adjustable to suit smaller 500s or larger 800s...

    Superstar one came fits fine no issues apart from the cable run on my handlebars.
