Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (Large)
Customer Review: this is the mount to buy if you have a mountain bike.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the Garmin Etrex Vista HCx and the auxillary mount adapter that came in the box integrated perfectly with this Garmin Rail Mount adapter (LARGE) being reviewed here. This rail mount adapter (large) allowed me to mount it on the handlebar of my mountain bike, which has a 31.9 mm diameter. In fact, if you have any modern mountain, then buy this rail mount adapter and NOT the one that Amazon suggests to bundle together with the etrex vista - specifically the Garmin eTrex Handlebar Mount Bracket, since the maximum handlebar size that this suggested mount can work with is a skinny 25.4mm handlebar. So, if you want to mount your GPS on your stout mountain bike handles, then buy the Garmin Rail Mount adapter (LARGE)
Oh yeah - the fit is snug and solid and doesn't rattle around while you are riding the trail, path, or those mean streets.
Customer Review: Too bad it doesn't come with the GPS back plate
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have a race bike with a light aluminum handle bar, it probably has a diameter of more than 25 mm. Then this mount is the one you need. It comfortably fits any handle bar with a diameter in the range of 25 to 32 mm. It comes with three rubber strips of different thickness to adjust to the proper size.
It is too bad that you need to purchase this mount on top of the bicycle mount that is delivered with the special clipped backing for your Garmin. The standard mount does not fit any rail with a diameter larger than 25 mm.
In my case, I switched bikes and my new bike had a wider bar. So I'm lucky to have a mount now on both the old and new bike. But if you start from scratch, and have wide handle bar, you are faced with two purchases.
Customer Review: this is the bike mount for the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx GPS, do not buy Garmin's bike mount because it does not fit. Buy this rail mount instead to mount the GPS on a bicycle handlebar. The adapter that comes with the Vista HCx clips right in to this rail mount.
Unfortunately, this mount is not as secure as the mount Garmin makes for their Edge GPS units and it only allows you to mount the GPS on your handlebar, not on the stem.
There is also a small diameter version for thinner handlebars (like many mountain bikes): Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (010-10496-01)
Customer Review: Works Great, No Bicycle Mount Needed
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a note because I found this confusing when shopping for a motorcycle mount for my Garmin eTrex Legend cx. You do not need to purchase the Garmin Bicycle Mount with this product. Just purchase this large rail mount adapter, and attach the GP mount adapter that comes in the box with your GPS device. That's all you need. Haven't ridden with it yet, but the large Diameter Rail Mount Adapter fits my HD Dyna handlebar great. Easy to install, GPS snaps right in.Customer Review: Excelent mount and more
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good mount for Garmin GPS.
It does exactly what is proposed to do.
One unique screw sometimes make difficult to handle in middle of wires of my motorcycle handbar.
The attachment is strong, My unique problem was about the vibration from the motorcycle makes the GPS turn off alone! but not happened with the other bike I have...so the problem is not he mount!
go ahead! Buy it!
