About one year ago, I published a post<\/a> about a custom aerobar computer mount for the Garmin quarter turn mount.<\/p>\n

After using it for one year, I was satisfied with the solution except for one thing: The computer used to tilt forward while riding due to the fact that I did use only one zip tie on each side. To fix this, I manufactured an improved design over the weekend which employs two zip ties on each side.<\/p>\n

It starts with a plate of nude carbon with a thinkness of 1.4mm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I printed out the layout of the computer mount and glued it onto the carbon plate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a Proxxon cutting machine, first I cut out the outer shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that, I cut out the inner recessions on both sides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, I drilled four holes for the zip ties and one more hole to keep the barometric sensor uncovered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the last cutting step, I roughly cut out the inner shape of the Garmin mount.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After some filing, the final result looked like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Contrary to the previous version, I don’t need the original Garmin mount any more – hence no gluing involved. The Garmin Edge series directly mounts into the carbon plate. From the back, it looks like that:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The total weight including for zip ties is 3g – this is 4g less than the original Garmin mount.<\/p>\n

Mounted to the extensions, the holder looks like that. The next time I’ll renew the bar wrap I’ll hide the zip ties beneath the wrap.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Garmin Edge 500 mounted to the extensions and ready to display some serious power numbers ;-).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The computer is sitting flush to the extensions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am quite sure that the tilting issue is fixed by this new and improved version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
