Garmin Edge mount system
Quote | Reply
I'm thinking about getting a Garmin Edge 520 but wondering about mounting it. Has anyone successfully mounted it in front of a hydration bottle?

I think the 'out-front' mount might work if you have it attached to one of the aero bars and facing inward. But one possible snag would be if the mount only lets the computer sit in one orientation (since having the mount attached to an aero bar and facing inward would put it 90 degrees off from its intended orientation).

Here's the mount: https://www8.garmin.com/...EC-9BA48668A74C.html

Has anyone found a good solution?

Thanks!

Aerobars are typically 22mm (approx) so that particular mount won't work very well. It will allow you to rotate the computer though, see point 3 in the installation instructions you linked to.
There are plenty of options for Aerobar mounting though, barfly, K edge, to name a couple. Probably garmin as well.

I have the X-lab Torpedo which has a mount in front of it:

I use a Barfly TT mount attached to the aero bars in front my BTA bottle:

I've been using it for around a year with no issues, and it also includes in the box various mounts for different headunits, as well as a part that attaches underneath for attaching a GoPro or a light if you want to use those whilst training.

You can also check out the Speedfil Z4 bottle cage, which has a mount on the top of the cage.

You need a torpedo mount or a TT mount. I have both in the classifieds if you are interested.

Zipp also makes a TT mount. It looks the same. Unless there's a good reason for one over the other, get the cheaper one.
