I am hoping that you inserted a metal sleeve into the mounting holes before using that to mount the stem clamp. seems that the plastic would not be trustworthy to keep the bars on tight.

While the parts I produce on my 3D Printer are fairly robust, I don't think I would ever use them in a situation where their catastrophic failure could directly lead to loss of bicycle control...

There is not a metal sleeve into the mounting holes.
But the mount does not hold the stem clamp on his place.

There is a locknut who hold the stem clamp, en keep the bars on tight.

So even when the plastic mount is damaged totally is does not directly lead to loss of bicycle control

Yes, the plastic mount would be very simple and easy to do, it looks nice. I had a little time this afternoon, so I decided to make a simple mount out of 1/16" thick aluminum sheet metal, I have a lot of this material just for custom purposes. This mount would only work on the center spacing of the Trek Speed Concept aerobars, but could be made to fit others without to much of a problem. I trimmed the lugs off the Garmin mounted and attached the mount to the aluminum sheet (threaded the aluminum) using 3mm stainless steel flat head screws, pretty simply. I made the computer sit as low as it could go and still be twist turned to attach. I frontal profile of the system is very small, very similar to other mounts I have made in the past. I drilled and tapped the aerobars to mount the aluminum sheet to with 3mm button head screws as well. I have used zip ties in the past as this would work just as well, but I thought I would go this way for my mount this time. Here are a couple of pictures of the finished product (computer not centered on the mount in this picture due to the angle of the photo, but is in real life). I will eventually paint the aluminum black to match the rest of the system.

    Yes, it's a long hew screw and a 9mm aluminum tubes.

    I got it from my work.

    Does your work sell the extensions to end users? I am interested in obtaining a pair for a Deda stem. Let me (us?) know what you can, when you can.

    Positively gorgeous. Would love to be able to get something remotely similar for use with an Forerunner 310xt QR on a Deda Zero stem.

    Just got mine. Seems to fit nice between the aerobars and so far very happy with it. Thanks.

    Santa brought me both the aerobar (22.2) and a handlebar (31.8) and they both work great! The handlebar mount puts the computer at the perfect spot to glance down and see it and the areobar mount is easily adjustable to move it to your desired sweet spot and it is really clean. i dig 'em both!

    And here is yet another Garmin Mount....
    You may have seen my earlier attempts as producing a quality mount. A few were sold, but I was never happy with them.
    The carbon fiber in the new Veloflyte Mount is oriented vertically. This allows the rider to flex the mounting points inward to create the narrowest profile possible.
    The horizontally flexible mount also adds a level of protection for your expensive Garmin computer. If the computer is bumped, the mount simply flexes away, providing for shock absorption, and abrasion resistance to a certain degree.
    The pictures are of an early prototype so it is understandably crude. The finished unit will be aesthetically pleasing and very light weight at approximately 15 grams.

    This looks pretty and all, but how functional is it for racing? Usually my hands are almost touching/fingers interlaced, specially at the bar ends. Seems like the computer would be in the way.

    I worried about that too but it seems to work OK. The thumbs will be on the Di2 shifters and only the index fingers touch the crossbar. We'll see if it gets in the way when the season starts in about 7-8 weeks.

    Here's the one I printed up.
    Our printer uses ABS, which I didn't feel was as flexible as nylon. So I had to make it with a 2 piece clamp. I use 2 #4 sheet metal screws that thread right into the plastic.

    Not a huge fan of white, but it's my design and I love it. I could always paint it, I suppose.

    I have to ask for the folks mounting it directly in front of the stem on road bars, what is the point? why not 4cm back on the big ol' stem with standard mount?

    on TT bike, i have seen data that between the bars may not be the best choice. very n=1, since it is the only data i have seen
