I mounted the Barfly on my mountain bike bars. Last Saturday I had a minor crash during a race and the barfly snapped in half. Luckily the Garmin was fine. I wonder if the aluminum would've broke? Or it it didn't brake if the Garmin would've instead? Both are way overpriced in my opinion and I do not plan on replacing it. It was cool while it lasted. Sorry Lunner.
ReplyDeleteFiddee - I think the key is to not tighten the clamp down on your bars too tight. This will allow the mount to spin on the bar vs. break if you crash. They are backing it with a lifetime warranty which is cool and helps justify the $49.
ReplyDeleteThey do look cool (and a better option than stock configuration) but I don't want to spend 20% of the cost of a computer (500) on an aftermarket mount.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Garmin will buy Barfly and include this when you buy their electronics instead of the current rubber o-ring style mount.
Fiddee.........
ReplyDeletesend me 5 bucks and I'll send you another Bar Fly.
Its all cool........and no worries, you gotta tell us about this stuff. I have not seen a single one break yet.

One thing you can do with neither the Barfly nor the K-Eedge is to rotate the computer when the sun is reflecting into your eyes. You cannot look cool when you cannot see.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking to adapt a wing nut to the handle bar mounting bolts then twisting the 800 to allow for glare. Sometimes the sun reflects in ones eyes sometimes the glare keeps one from seeing the display.
ReplyDeleteOne more for breakage. Had a fall on the MTB and it snapped like a twig. Back to the runner band mount.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is ...very easy to spot !
ReplyDeletebe glad the mount break on impact, taking the hit, instead of your computer breaking. If the mount was`nt breaking, the computer would take the full impact... Physics !!
What bar tape are you using???
