I used to Velcro my DRC x-monitor in this exact spot on my bike and yes it did get knocked off a couple of times. Luckily that also had a wire clipped to the handlebar. No wire, no tether and there’s a decent chance you will lose it one day. I would tether it myself.
I still would go for more than just the sticker. I also am not eager to put a sticker directly on the paint that I may want to remove later.
All carbon fiber bikes are bond, for example, back in 93, the Suzuki DR350 had a bonded aluminium swingarm.
Yes, it's special adhesives that are cured and on this particular application the End User is responsible for:
- Cleaning & degreassing process --> meaning, some will be top notch, while others will be.... less!
- Pealing and Bond --> it sounds simple (and it is!), but so many things can go wrong!
Saying this, I agree, and I woudn't place my $600 computer on that support, because it can snap.... (and the second one, and it's a controversial one, is that I stopped using all devices, and just hit the trail and focus on what matters: FUN and Pushing myself, but like I said, it's controversial topic, and I respect all!)
I'd like to see:
Plastic injection part and not a 3D print.
A Silicon cover, that not only would cover the "computer", but also the support up to the top tube, in an elegant way
Maybe a strap to save the GPS in case I fell and brake the support
On final notes, personally I find easier to view a GPS screen when it's mounted on the Stem, or is ahead of the handlebar.
And stuck to the RideWrap with no issues.
As with any adhesive product clean clean clean again before applying it to a surface (also clamping it in place with two micro Irwin clamps whilst it cures over night probably helps).
but I didn't see if on their site anyway...? (maybe I didn't look hard enough)
A 10 speed 10-46 or 51 cassette would be the perfect match
Personally I ride a decent amount of singlespeed stuff so jumps don't bother me when I am on geared bikes.
While I had a few road bikes with stuff like a triple and a 10spd 11-25 or something, I spent most of my time on stuff like 7-8spd 11-28s, 10spd 11-36s etc. So I guess i'm kinda used to "bigger" gaps as well.
It was just interesting to see how some people flat out hate the bigger jumps even on mountain bikes, and some people actually want it.
That being said, I printed some GoPro mounts out of carbon fiber reinforced PETG on my homemade 3d printer, and they are just fine. There is some impressive strength in some of these materials, if they are printed right.
We've sold thousands and have only had a handful of breakages, nearly all after a crash which would destroy most mounts or the computer if the mount held up.
Despite the VHB being super strong the mount is actually fairly easy to remove with the correct technique and the adhesive comes off in one piece without leaving residue.
Jk...I dig it.
So... why has this taken so long!?!?! Enduro racers have been fabricating their own for years and the industry catches up years later with small batch 3d printing... ok.
Riding around with Stan's dart dremel'd onto a OneUp EDC inserter, with a dremel'd Garmin mount, explaining how I had to Dremel my Stans Dart into my gravel pump, it's hard to explain to outsiders why stuff costs so much. See, first you buy the ludicrously expensive components, then you start grinding through the badly designed plastic to build it yourself...
Edit: also the Garbaruk doesn't have any small alu cogs. Only the largest cog is aluminum.
