Review on RAM Handlebar Coated U Bolt Garmin by Luis Baker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The mount moves on the bike

In theory this mount works but in practice it doesn't work well on a mountain bike where GPS is really handy. The main problem is that it does not stay on the steering wheel. I have several bikes. one has carbon bars and the other has aluminum bars, both slide down. I added a piece of rubber that fit between the mount and the handlebars and tightened it, but after a few rides it also fell off. I live in the Dallas, Texas area, which is mostly flat, so the trails aren't fun anyway, and my bikes are a Yeti SB130 and a specialized Stumpjumper. Both feature Fox suspension, and the Yeti is a carbon-framed bike, so rattling is minimal. On the plus side, the mount holds my Garmin very well. Too bad he moves even when dressed. The mount itself looks well built and articulates very well. It's just a shame it doesn't work the way we'd like it to. Wouldn't buy again.

Pros
  • Perfect for a small home
Cons
  • Modern
