Zipp VUKA Alumina Computer and Bottle Cage Mount - Black

If it wasn’t for the mounting issues below (not Zips fault), I would give it 5 stars just because this mount places the Garmin in the PERFECT place. It’s the best.You can ride your pace and still see the screen without moving your head and changing the aerodynamics of your helmet tail. Those of you who race will know exactly what I mean.This is meant for mounting on traditional extensions. I have a Trek Speed Concept with the monobar, so I had to get creative with double-sided tape and gaffer tape to secure it. Not Zipp’s fault Trek uses a proprietary aero bar and extensions, but it still complicated the installation.

The piece that holds the bottle cage and the garmin Mount broke in half and flew off, took my garmin down with it and smashed the screen. Now I’m out of a Garmin computer and a bta Mount. Going with XLab after this.

This is a solid product. I don't like velcros. This locks into nicely and it's not that heavy. I highly recommend this over any BTA system.

This part is a bit heavier than expected, so if you can get by without it, you may want to consider it. Frankly, this part could be made from a composite and made really light since the stresses should be that great.

I had the mount on my time trial bike for about two months. During my last race I was descending a hill and my Garmin 510 just popped off the mount. The plastic bracket was still attached to the Garmin. Thankfully the expensive Garmin was not that damaged (just come cosmetic scratches). The glue bond broke down and I had to finish my last 30 miles without being able to see my Power data. My run suffered as a result. It would be better if the Garmin Mount was machined into the metal rather than glued onto the mount.

Well thought out design. Worked exactly as hoped.

Sleek design and rock solid! Even better than I expected.
