 Good, but... January 27, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This bracket is quite sturdy and the GPS is held firmly in place. Works perfect on my bicycle. The only problem is vibration is transfered from you handlebar directly to the GPS, so if I try to use it on my enduro motorbike (KTM) the unit turns off when the riding gets hard. For high vibration environments there are other alternatives (Touratech)
 It needs some improvement April 5, 2002

I use this product for mountain biking, and although I find it very useful, it still needs to be improved. These are some of the cons I found:
- Whith exesive vibration, the etrex can suddenly turn off. I think this happends because the bycicle mount cover doesn't hold the batteries as thight as the original cover.
- The thin o-ring inside the cover falls very easely and it can be very hard to find if dropped.
- The rubberbands provided for mounting it in the handle bar are either too thin or too thick, so you might have to put one of your own.
- It is difficult to get the etrex off the bike mount, sometimes you need to apply a lot of strenght.
- The bike mount cover doesn't adjusts as well as the original and has some movement. I haven't tried it under heavy rain, but I think this might compromise its waterproofnes.
- When mountted on the handle bar, the etrex becomes very exposed to be damaged if you fall or hit a tree.
Well, with a simple fix it's a great product January 30, 2002

I've had this for 8 months or so and I like it. But the bike mount has a major flaw. The battery cover has a very loose fit with the main unit. It got so bad that it managed to turn off the GPS on a ride over a fairly smooth road.
Here's the fix. Two pieces of electrical tape. I wrapped one piece around the bottom of the battery case and one around the top (this required scissors to trim the tape). I don't know how this affects the waterproofing, but the battery case grips the GPS like a limpit and everything works 100% better now.

I've been using GPS for over a year, and I've found that I get the most enjoyment from it when it's strapped to my bicycle. This attachment makes getting the GPS on and off a snap. I have found no problems with it to date. In fact, I've made the mount that replaces the battery cover a permanent replacement. The mount attachment/battery cover even fits in my GPS protective case ( asin B00004VX39 ).
Good product, a couple of flaws. June 15, 2001
I was mostly impressed by the quality of this product. It seems to be made of a good, durable plastic. The eTrex snaps in with a solid "click." The quality of the "replacement" battery cover could be better, however. On that note, the eTrex doesn't lose any of it's water-resistance with this battery cover, as it's the yellow rubber case of the unit that is water-resistant, not the battery compartment. I like having the GPS on my bike, it would replace my cyclecomputer if it didn't go through batteries so quickly and was a little smaller. My two complaints with this product are the fact that you have two battery covers of different quality to keep track of; and when mounted on my bike and trying to push the buttons on either side of the unit, there is a very slight amount of movement caused by a swiveling motion between the battery cover and the GPS.
