Hi,
Stopped at a bike shop earlier and the owner was about to give me a good deal on a stem mount for a Garmin edge gps. However, the centre bolt (stem) on my Moscow Plus has too high a ‘head’ to ‘seat’ properly in the mount base. It sits too high, thereby not allowing Garmin gps to attach. That bike store owner and 2 other bike mechanics thought about trying to file down the head of my stem bolt, so that it would sit flush in the Garmin mount. Turns out it would likely not result in a sufficiently secure mount. I continue to use a forward facing mount but the bottom 2 buttons on the Garmin edge 530 gps are not accessible (too close to the C7 display).
Perhaps I can find a bolt with the proper head that will sit in the recessed Garmin mount area. That small Edge 530 gps would be in a perfect position, attached to a mount on the top of the stem ( top of the edge 530 gps would fit right up to the C7 display).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and stay safe!
