Any realistic suggestions? Adding 7lbs to my Jones Bars is not happening.
I mean any suggestions for a light weight (under 65gms) phone mount?
Plastic (Garmin Fitting) types are 30ish'gms on aliexpress. I ordered a few (and some alloy, like short and long CYDY Bicycle Computer Holder Extend Mount For Garmin Edge) types to check out (Amazingly sellers there are far more transparent about the FOURIERS ADP-STK type Garmin mounts. Beware the ads on Amazon and others). Also one of those (70gms
) ball things that fold out. Kinda nifty to me in that they can accommodate wrapped bars, 35mm and 31.8's. Maybe I can drill 30gms of excess alloy holes in it?
I laugh because I can take 2' of bailing wire and make a holder that wont come loose and works.
Frustrated, I'm considering any variation - except heavy stuff. Okay w/ epoxying a male Garmin fitting on my cell. Speaking to that, it's not the stock adhesive. It's the quality of the male fitting. I also have trepidations about the effects of weight difference between a cell and a bike computer. A magnitude of four.
I'll cosign
6zfshdb's Jones Bars. The comfort difference is much, but after long term use a slight bit 'much'. 5 degrees less angle might be superb.
Nothing else comes close though. I'm on my third set with an unused (butted) 2.5 rise set I'm getting ready to sell off and salivating over - but still undecided - Jones Titanium Loop-Bars. First have to try a 70mm stem. My 80mm makes response just a tad slow.
Ram (Ball) joints are also great IMO. Plastic is good !!! Reinforced Plastic is a superb material for any bike. Should last 5 -- 50 years depending on compound and matrix.
A minimalist cockpit. That's my goal.
