looking for a new computer and would like to mount it on my stem…what models are compatible?
i don’t want to use one of those ‘knobs’…i just want it to look clean and sit on the stem so my aerobars, when they’re on, won’t get in the way…
ideas? suggestions?
sigma sport 1200 wired version. you can unscrew the base and screw it back on sideways. I found one on ebay for less than 20 bucks.
it’s exactly what you want I think.
cool, thanks

Cateye’s new micro wireless comes with both stem and bar adaptors. I have 3 of the new computers and they work great.
I was just about to ask the same thing–specifically, does CatEye make a stem mount for the Astrale8? Anybody…? Thanks in advance.
You can mount any ordinary computer that goes on the handlebars on the stem if you are willing to do a little work. I keep the material left over from cutting fork steerer tubes. Cut a one inch piece off. Split this in half with hack saw lengthwise. Now drill four holes for zip ties to mount to your stem. Now drill however many holes you need for zip ties to mount the computer to this piece of carbon. Use a bit of double sided tape on the bottom of the carbon to fix the position. Don’t breathe any of the carbon dust.
Cateye makes a stem mount. I just got one part number 169-9404N directly from them:
Have any pics of it mounted? Just want to make sure …as there is no product image on their site. Thanks!
One little trick I discovered when mounting my Sigma 800. It had a lot of wire so I ran the excess under the right hand bar tape (one big in and out running toward the brake hood and then back to the computer). Looks much cleaner than wrapping the wire around the bar.
Ciclosport’s HAC4, etc have a rotatable clamp so you can put it on either way. I use the HAC4’s baby brother, but I don’t know if all of the computers use the same mounting system.
Cross two zip-ties w/rubber spacer for grip. I have mine looking seemless setup on my vision tech intergrated bars. Nice because it sits lower than if you had it on a base mount.
I really like the new Cateye micro wireless…it is stem mounted, small, and works great!

Just got a new bike do you have a pic of this setup? I am wondering where I am going to put a comp.
I use the Mavic Wintech on my P3-SL. Very pleased with it. Was a bit fiddly at first, but now i’ve got it sorted
I made my own “movable” clamp. Used extra carbon extensions from aerobars (or fork steerer, mtb hbar) about 1". Got a velcro strap around it and duct tape in place. Now I can mount any computer on the stem, aerobar or the “much criticized” spacer. In my pics it was the sky mount that I used. Velcro makes it easy to attach and remove to different bikes. I just adjust the orientation of the computer or skymount to angle properly. Cost, about 1$.
