GREAT VALUE, EXCELLENT PRICE
Pros: great price, reasonable shipping, fast delivery!
Cons: none i can think of.
Item was shipped very fast, received it quick. Pretty much the best price i could find on the web. I would shop here again in the future for any GPS accessory needs.
seems like installation will be a snap.
thanks

EXCELLENT SO FAR!
Pros: good price and seems pretty secure
Cons: none
I ride 100% of the time on paved surfaces. In about 75 miles of riding this has performed perfectly. For the price, I'm really happy. Have ordered another.

GOOD MOUNT
Pros: solid
Cons: very small
Good mount but I'm not sure what bike this would fit on. I've got a mountain bike and good thing I bought the larger one at the same time because this mount is tiny! Even the larger one was close to not fitting. If you have some bar that is very narrow then this will work.

GARMIN GPSMAP 60 SERIES BIKE MOUNT
Cons: should have included a spare screw.
I have seen better designs but this is workable. Can hardly wait until I lose the little screw-in piece and have to buy this, all over again. Would have been nice if they would have supplied a spare screw, which they easily could have done for the price.

A very solid mount. I used it mainly on flat roads but I feel it is strong enough for mountain biking.

QUAD MOUNT FOR CR60
Pros: easy to mount to.
Cons: does break when you get hit by a large branch(gee!
I used a piece of 1/2 inch conduit and some hose clamps in conjuntion with the bike mount for the CR 60 GPS. It has worked very well for getting us home and keeping our route in front of me. I also have a 12 volt out let on my quad so I can keep the the GPS powered all the time. because of the quick disconnect I can take it of in a sec, but it stays right where I need it even in the roughest terrain.

THE MTB CACHER CAN'T DO WITHOUT
Pros: try to go geocaching on bike without it :-)
Cons: the plastic is easy breakable
This little thing you can't do without if you are a geocacher jumping on and off your bike. Very easy to mount and dismount from you bike. Uses in conjunction with the belt clip you are free to go.

SIMPLE AND FUNCTIONAL
It simply works. You won't be able to adjust the angle while you're riding, so set it up exactly before your ride. I've had one (dirtbike) crash with it, and my 60CSx didn't move. Solid.

BIKE MOUNT
Pros: solid, secure, no vibration
Cons: a bit tough to remove
I bought this to go along with the 60 CSx. It is easy to attach to the handlebar and holds the GPS unit securely and with virtually no vibration. It is a bit difficult to remove the mount from the part that stays attached to the handlebar but my guess is that it will get easier with time. But it is very easy to remove the GPS unit from the mount so if I have to stop and leave the bike unattended, I simply remove the GPS from the mount rather than separating the mount.

WORKING WELL FOR ME
Pros: light weight, no nonsence, cheap.
Cons: none for what it is.
I put this on my mountain bike bars and even though the bar is tapered it fastens very securely using one of the supplied rubber mounting spacers. If I crash all bets are off as with many other components on the bike, I use the Garmin GPS tether looped around the bars to keep from having to look too far for it.

MIXED OPINION
Pros: easy to use
Cons: not enough vibration dampening
I am of mixed opinon on this mount. The advantages of it is that it is very easy to mount and dismount from the bike handlebar and it is very low profile and stays out of the way. My concern about it is that on a road bike it rattles around quite a bit. The location where the GPS holder attaches to the round bar mount has a small amount of play and it creates quite a bit of vibration and noise. It can also, on less than smooth pavement cause the GPS unit to rattle so hard that it will shut it off. I found using hockey stick tape helps dampen the vibrations, but it also puts more strain on the plastic and the little tabs that hold the two pieces together can break.When this happens you are forced to purchase another entire unit - Garmin doesn't seem to have replacement holders. If you're using it on any other type of bike than a road bike, it works great because larger tires and shocks will automatically dampen the vibration for you.

PLACE FOR IMPROVEMENT
Pros: quite slim
Cons: too fragile
I had to replace it after the upper section of the part that clips to the GPS unit broke while cycling on bad roads. I now attach the mount with the GPS with a rubber band to prevent the GPS unit to fly away if it happen that the replacement mount I bought breaks. Not sure another mount would be better.

Unfortunately I've had the identical experience as Bob and Ron. This should really come as no surprise since there is a cutout for the attachment clip which ends just at the point of failure. This creats a very small (and weak) cross-sectional area at that point. Other than this design flaw I am very happy with the mount and I'm ordering another one. This time I intend to epoxy a length of stiff piano wire to either side of top section to stiffen it and dampen the vibrations. I hope this helps.

DITTO RON AND BOB
Except that it was the part that clamps to the handlebar that snapped. In fairness, I bumped the mount getting the bike into the back of the car, so it wasn't just a vibration failure. I'm ordering another one. I use the lanyard, but I've never had the GPS bounce out in many thousands of miles of biking. Maybe I just hit fewer potholes.

Be careful. Use lanyard as backup. GPS will bounce out of holder on rough pavement. Rubber bands help hold in place. Top 1 1/2 inches of mount broke off after 9 mounths and 1000 miles.
