K-Edge: Updated Garmin Computer Mount



K-Edge’s first attempt at an "out front" mount for Garmin computers was nothing short of an exercise in "industrial sculpture". However, despite it’s beautifully laser etched, CNC machined design, a few niggles needed to be worked out. 

The updated version of the mount retains all of the great qualities of the first iteration, however, gone is the old length adjustment, along with cleaner beveled edges and mounting bolts for the 31.8mm-diameter handlebar clamp that attach from the bottom. 

However, the biggest improvement comes with the new molded plastic computer interface insert. Though some might miss the fully CNC-machined aluminum construction of the original, this new modular design is better as the computer fits nearly as securely as before but the motion is far smoother and more dampened this way. In addition, Garmin owners will no longer have to worry about sharp aluminum edges gradually wearing down the mounting tabs. At 50 bucks, the clamp isn’t exactly cheap. But, what is in the realm of high quality bike components these days ?
