I’m getting a Garmin Edge 800 to mount to my Cannondale Slice 3… What’s the best mounting bracket to use? I know it comes with a mounting bracket, but I thought there’s probably a better setup that I can use with my Vision Aerobars. Where does everyone else mount their Garmins, and what mount or mount-type are you using?

I use barfly tt

I got the Zipp version because it was significantly cheaper for me than the Barfly (was $12 bucks cheaper than the Barfly where I got it). It is supposedly aero on the leading edge if mounted on the left side bar…but that isn’t the reason I bought mine. It all came down to price for me.
Profile Design Universal Computer Mount (UCM). Worked fine for me for years, and they’re incredibly cheap.

Will the Barfly mount go over the bar tape or does it not open up enough to do so?

How about the Zipp one?
It will not fit over bar tape. Only bare metal/bar only.

Same. I modified mine as my T4+ are quite narrow. Barfly and the like won’t work because of the T4’s flared handles. Total cost about $4.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I can redo the tape leaving a little gap for the mount.
