Too bad it doesn't come with the GPS back plate
(4 out of 5) by Remko Scharroo on Apr 6, 2006If you have a race bike with a light aluminum handle bar, it probably has a diameter of more than 25 mm. Then this mount is the one you need. It comfortably fits any handle bar with a diameter in the range of 25 to 32 mm. It comes with three rubber strips of different thickness to adjust to the proper size.
It is too bad that you need to purchase this mount on top of the bicycle mount that is delivered with the special clipped backing for your Garmin. The standard mount does not fit any rail with a diameter larger than 25 mm.
In my case, I switched bikes and my new bike had a wider bar. So I'm lucky to have a mount now on both the old and new bike. But if you start from scratch, and have wide handle bar, you are faced with two purchases.

It works, but too bad its not included in the bike kit
(5 out of 5) by Robert Brunner on Jul 3, 2007I wanted a bike mount for my new road bike, and I thought it would be nice to also have a car mount. So, after reading the reviews here, I decided that instead of buying the bike mount, I'd by the car mount with this adapter, and hope that the car mount bracket used the same mounting system. It does! So now I have the car mount and the bike mount with the large rail mount.

this is the bike mount for the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx
(4 out of 5) by l2 on Jun 7, 2008 (California)If you have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx GPS, do not buy Garmin's bike mount because it does not fit. Buy this rail mount instead to mount the GPS on a bicycle handlebar. The adapter that comes with the Vista HCx clips right in to this rail mount.
Unfortunately, this mount is not as secure as the mount Garmin makes for their Edge GPS units and it only allows you to mount the GPS on your handlebar, not on the stem.
There is also a small diameter version for thinner handlebars (like many mountain bikes): Garmin Rail Mount Adapter (010-10496-01)

Great idea, Works Great!! Can't say enough Good things!!
(5 out of 5) by John Talley on Oct 5, 2007 (Southern Oregon)I bought this for my Rino 120 and I Love it!! It works really well, before I had this I used to either hold my Rino while driving around or try to hang it off my rear view mirror. But the Window Mount solved that problem, now no more lost satellite signals from keeping my Rino in a cup holder and no more Rino sliding around my dash while out hunting.
The window mount is totally adjustable and so far has held like it was bolted to the window. The nice thing is it doesn't make it difficult to pickup your Rino and talk on it or check the map. No special buttons to press to take it out of the holder. It easily adjusts so you can make it easy to see, no matter what angle your windshield is.
I would ***highly recommend*** that you get the 12v car power adapter, it works really well. The window mount and the power adapter work really well together and has made my Rino 120 so much easier to use and saves a lot of money in battery costs, so I really recommend you get the power adapter as well, you won't be sorry.

I had to edit this review to add a warning. Don't leave it on the window when you are not using the Rino, it got really cold around here and I came out to my truck to find the mount laying on the dash. It seems when it gets really cold the suction cups lose their hold and when the mount fell on the dash it broke. It can't be fixed and now I need to order another mount. So heed my warning.

Works well
(5 out of 5) by Justin Brown on Jan 12, 2007 (Baton Rouge, LA USA)I got this to use in my truck when I'm out in the country, going off road, or just need to find a new destination in the city. It has 2 points of adjustment so you will always be able to get it in just the right spot for you to see. also the suction cup works great. good product!
