Garmin eTrex Handlebar Mount Bracket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The mount consists of two pieces.One piece fastens onto your handlebars.It attaches very firmly and will prevent the unit from moving even over the roughest terrain.The other piece replaces the standard battery compartment cover on the GPS. When you want to mount the GPS to your bike you just snap the two components together.
I was impressed by the quality of the pieces and suspect that it will be very durable. I only have two negative comments regarding this design.First, the handlebar mounting piece is tightened on via a screw.I have a road and a mountain bike and will want to switch the unit between the two.I would have preferred some sort of quick release mechanism that does not require the use of tools. Secondly, I wish that the battery cover did not have to be replaced with the new one.The one that comes with the bike mount is not rubberized and it has a clip on it that could catch on things.That means that you'll want to put the original cover back on the GPS if you want to use it as a hand-held.Having to use two different covers means that there is just one more piece that you'll need to remember to bring on your trips - and one more thing to possibly lose somewhere.
Despite these gripes, I am very impressed with the mount and can recommend it.
