REPLACEMENTS MORE ROBUST?
The Garmin mounts have been problematic for a few years. The tabs would break far too easily. These replacements, however, would seem to have thicker/stronger spring tabs that what was previously used. Hopefully this translates to longer life!

ONE MOUNT FOR EVERY BIKE (NOW)
Pros: much less expensive than ordering from garmin.
Cons: shipping cost for such a small, light item
I ordered 4 of these puppies. Ordering and shipping went smoothly. Now I have a mount on all the family bikes (my wife and I usually ride separately while one of us babysits). No idea why Garmin only gives you 2 when you can set the device up for 3 bikes and the mounts are not removable without cutting the ties off.

GPS ON MY MOTORCYCLE
Pros: secure mounting, easy and quick removal of gps
Works outstanding. I was worried the wind at high speeds might pull the GPS out of the mount but no problems. Also I like the way I can quickly remove it when stooping for coffee/food etc. Highly recommend this mount.

MOUNT
Pros: great computer
Cons: poor service, they don't care about customers
Love the Edge 705 but the mount is garbage. Worse than that, the post-sales support at Garmin is poor. It seems that this poor design is a clear winner for the company since many of us have to purchase multiple mounts because we feel our $700 computer will fall to the ground and break.
Garmin should give each of us new mounts for free.

Cons: cheap release lever
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.

ORIGNIAL MOUNT
Cons: could be a little sturdier
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!

OEM MOUNT
Pros: inexpensive and readily available
Cons: a bit fragile
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.

I'll be returning the second one without opening it.

WEAK DESIGN
Pros: only mount available
Cons: 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.

GARMIN EDGE MOUNT
Pros: gps unit is great
Cons: mounting bracket is not!
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.

GARMIN EDGE BIKE MOUNT
Pros: intuitive to use.
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.

GARMIN EDGE BIKE MOUNT
Pros: easy to install
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.

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.
Pros: none.
Cons: doesnt' hold the oregon 400.
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.

EDGE 305 HANDLEBAR MOUNT
Pros: it mounts the edge 305 to a bike handlebar
Cons: it breaks too easily
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

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.
