CHEAPER PLASTIC
I bought it to replace the original one coming with the unit (in 2006). The plastic is cheaper than what it was some years ago.
Pros: still compatible, unit easier to install
Cons: unit seems not to lock firmly, shake on rough road
Recommend: NO OPINION

GOOD MOUNT
This seems to be the standard garmin gps mount for the 705 edge // the mount itself has a cheap release lever that breaks over time // if you use it often buy two or three because you'll need them. // this site offers these at a much more realistic cost then you'll find from garmin.
Cons: cheap release lever

ORIGNIAL MOUNT
This is the original mount that came with the GPS...........works okay. Be warned not to tighten the zip ties too much or you can break the base in half. Then you'll have to buy another : )
Just take your time mounting it. Make sure you can easily snap the GPS unit on and off before completely tightening.
gpscity has the best price on these!
Cons: could be a little sturdier
Recommend: YES

OEM MOUNT
This item is the only good way to mount a Garmin Edge and makes swapping between bikes, quick and easy. I did not have trouble breaking the gps mounting tab, although I agree it seems fragile. I broke the right side plastic section off the base where the zip ties hold the base to the stem. I may have tightened the zip ties too tight. It did not actually break until riding some very rough roads and the gps was loose but still fastened.
Pros: inexpensive and readily available
Cons: a bit fragile
Recommend: YES

GARMIN EDGE BIKE MOUNT
I purchased two of these mounts for two bikes. The second time I used it, the tab you press to remove the Garmin broke off. The plastic is too cheap and rigid for what they're trying to use it for.
I'll be returning the second one without opening it.

WEAK DESIGN
This is now the 4th Edge bike mount I have purchased. It is very poorly designed as the plastic tab to release the GPS breaks all the time. If you ride on paved paths it might be fine, but I've broken 3 riding on trails. Save future shipping costs and purchase a bunch.
Pros: only mount available
Cons: weak design
Recommend: NO OPINION

GARMIN EDGE MOUNT
I've always been carefull when using the mount, but my bike came back from a service and locking tab was snapped off. In fact, I only realised this after the ride. Fortunately the unit slides on tight and stayed there for the full 8hr ride. I have many friends with broken locking tabs. Getting a replacement has been a pain too.
Pros: gps unit is great
Cons: mounting bracket is not!

GARMIN EDGE BIKE MOUNT
I had several of these mounts already, but needed another for a new bike so I can easily move my Edge 605 from bike to bike. This mount facilitates quick moves of your Edge GPS between bikes. Simple to attach to your bike, with several options as to location and orientation. Holds the GPS unit solidly - no issues through the entire TransRockies.
Pros: intuitive to use.

MY BACKUP CLIP
I bought this because I've seen many reports about the flimsy mount breaking and thus I wanted a backup. I'm just being extra careful with the two that came with the Garmin Edge 705. Push down, gently slide out.
Pros: ultra tiny, reasonably inexpensive
Cons: shouldn't need to buy backup clips
Recommend: YES

NOT A GOOD DESIGN
This was purchased as a replacement for my wife's Edge 305. It is poorly designed and the clip tends to break after some use. That said, what choice do we have if we want to mount the gps?
Cons: poor design, weak clip handle

GARMIN EDGE BIKE MOUNT
I bought this mount to replace a broken one this one seems to be of a sturdier construction than previous models. This version is much better than the previous versions.
Includes a small rubber adapter that allows you to use the mount & GPS on really steep stems permitting a decent view of the screen.
Pros: easy to install

THESE ARE THE NEW ONE-PIECE MOUNTS.
The little release tab on my first one (the one that came with my 705) broke. Garmin needs to upgrade their mounting system - although this product works, bumping the tab or not getting it seated all the way (it doesn't click in, I have to push the tab up to make sure it's locked) will land your expensive unit on the ground in a couple of miles (I know the hard way).

IMPROVED MOUNT
I needed to buy some additional bicycle mounts for my Edge 305. These seem to be a new and improved version: the unit clips in/out much easier and has a reassuring "click" when engaged. I'm even thinking of buying more to replace my older ones which just seem a bit clunky compared to this.

EDGE BIKE MOUNT.
I ordered the standard bike mount for the Garmin Oregon 400. Instead, I was sent this "edge bike mount". I emailed the discrepancy to GPScity, but was told it was my problem. I reviewed the order, the website pic, and noted they didn't correlate with what I was sent. Poor service and poor response to my email asking what to do. Mark.
Pros: none.
Cons: doesnt' hold the oregon 400.

EDGE 305 HANDLEBAR MOUNT
too flimsy. I have broken at least 4 of these and one day, when my brothers broke it cost him a brand new 705 cause I ran over his 305 with my bike as soon as it fell off and hit the roadway. The GPS is TOO valuable to TRUST it to the mount provided - user beware. besides which for about 2 cents worth of plastic, it is WAY overpriced
Pros: it mounts the edge 305 to a bike handlebar
Cons: it breaks too easily
Recommend: NO

FLEMSY BIKE MOUNT
I love the Garmin Edge device, but I find this mount to be inferior. The mount itself is made of flimsy plastic. I have already broken two as the tab to release the device has simply broken off. It seems as if this mount is a necessary evil because I'm not aware of any other mounts that can accommodate the Garming Edge devices.

GARMIN NEEDS TO REDESIGN THESE
I have gone through 5 of these so far and actually lost a 705 when the mount broke and went into a sludge drainage ditch on a group ride. The pro peloton run extra zip times around the unit and the stem. Let Garmin know they need to redesign these mounts.

I do not agree, you are supposed to push the tab NOT PULL. I broke the "mount" not holder (the part that attaches to the EDGE) with a fall. It still works very well, but looks bad.

The Garmin Edge is a lovely product, but unfortunately their mount is not! Buy a couple extra, because the little release tab will break sooner than you think.
