PLASTIC RAIL MOUNT BASE WITH 1 INCH BALL PRODUCT DETAILS

 Back to Top
 
The High Strength Plastic Rail Base has a 1.0'' diameter Rubber Ball designed to sit at right angles to the mounting rail. The Rail 'U' Clamp will fit a circular rail with diameter from 1.0'' to 1.1''.

For a larger rail, you can purchase the RAM-B-231LSS Large Rail Base for circular rails with diameter from 1/2'' to 1 3/8''.

To mount to a circular rail, simple press the plastic 'U' clamp around the rail and then connect and tighten the small nut and bolt to close the 'U' clamp.

NOTE: Placing a rubber lining (not included) between the tube and the mount for a tube with a diameter less than 1'' will help the base 'grab' the rail.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MOTORCYCLES USES: This base is not recommended for Motorcycles due to the heavy vibration. An alternative would be the RAM-B-231 and RAM-B-149 Stainless Steel U-Bolts.

THE PLASTIC MOUNT BROKE

Pros: very handy and light weight
Cons: it is solid on its own but vibrates with add-ons.
I have this mount installed side way (screw pointing to the sky)on the stem of my bicycle with front suspension. The plastic mount near the neck of the ball broke on a big bump while it was holding my 1.2lbs Garmin GPS. I am going to buy this item again because it is very handy on the bike with other RAM mount add-on. Just be careful to not stretch the plastic too much. It is only plastic!

BICYCLE HANDLEBAR MOUNT

Pros: light
Cons: not extremely strong
This worked well for a while but eventually broke. There is a lot of vibration on a bicycle handlebar so I'm going to try RAM-B-231U next which looks a lot stronger.

BULLET CAMERA MOUNT

Pros: lite and effective.
Cons: may need rubber spacer material for smaller dia.
I used this item to hold a Bullet (Lipstick) Camera. It works great for that! It really keeps the vibration down to a minimum as it hugs the middle of the camera instead of attaching to the back end.

CHEAP BALL MOUNT

Pros: none
Cons: too large for small bars without padding (extra)
Garmin's stated range of bar sizes this unit will fit is way off. I'll need a lot of rubber padding to put this on a 7/8" handlebar. Garmin admits I'll need to add the padding so why don't they include it with the mount?
