 Does not work for Vista HCX April 21, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This item says it will work for the Vista but the back will not work for the Vista HCX. Save a couple of bucks and get the rail mount by itself. The Vista HCX comes with a clip that will fit the rail mount but I didn't know where I put my so I bought the kit. I had to find my clip since the back would not fit my HCX due to the memory card slot.
 Ok - but a couple of issues... April 15, 2008

I would give it 5 stars if I could use this on my bike that has > 1" handlebar diameter. There is no oversize version.
I had to cut some of the plastic insert and insert my own to make it fit and not slip.
Took a little work to get the screw into the nut (sounds crazy, but yes - it can be a little tricky if not closed flush).

Bike mount installed very quickly. I was lucky that i bought a car mount previously and had the special battery cover for my GPS and it works with this mount. I have the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx. The battery cover that comes with this unit doesn't work for the Vista series that has the expandable memory.

Garmin Bicycle Mount for eTrex and Summit (010-10267-00)
At first, I thought it was all good. Then while on a ride I noticed the Etrex rattling in the mount. Upon close inspection, it was not tight as the original back. Plus the original back is coated with rubberized material. Which makes it a fairly water tight and snug fit. The replacement back is just plastic. NO rubberized coating, and thus no water proofing and no tight fit. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the quality of the product. I had to use 'plastic' black tape around the opening to stop the rattle. But there is no protection from water.
I don't understand why the inside of the back was not designed to have either a gasket or rubberizing to protect it from water.
But that being said. It is still the only option for mounting it to the handle bar of a bike. And that job, is well done. Good heavy duty mounting, with lots of extra rubber spacers.
 Not for road bikes! March 6, 2008

This product while im sure is fantastic for bikes you buy from Walmart or cheaper city bikes it is NOT made for modern road bikes. Basically anything with gel tape on the bars and the mounting bracket will not fit on the bars. It is meant for a bike with bare handle bars. Most road bikes today have gel tape wrapped around them and thereby are larger than the mounting bracket will fit around. My solution was to use a twist tie to get the clamp as snug as possible over my gel taped bars.
And while yes I am aware had I read that it only fit up to 1" bars I would not have wasted my time or money to get it, however garmin should either include a larger bracket for road bikes or maybe make it more clear its not for road bikes. I was excited to throw this on my Felt Z35 but alas have to resort to twist ties to get it to fit. I just want folks with road bikes and gel taped bars to be aware this is not going to fit without some zip ties or the like to secure the mounting bracket. Its a solidly built bracket it just needs to be updated for modern bikes.
