3.0 out of 5 stars rubber bands will make it work, December 20, 2009

This review is from: IG-B01A: i.Trek Bike Mount for Garmin Nuvi 200, 200W, 250, 250W, 260, 260W, 270, 205, 205W, 255, 255W, 265T, 265WT, 275T, 500, 550, 750, 760, 770, 780 (Electronics)

I purchased this bike/motorcycle mount after reading the reviews which said that the GPS falls off upon hitting a hard bump. The first thing I did was tie a knot in the end of two rubber bands and then use the loop formed to push the rubber bands over the ball post. I then snapped the unit onto the ball and stretched the other loop of the rubber bands around the unit.

I found that my gps (Nuvi 400) did fall off the ball at first, however it stayed right there due to the rubber bands holding it. After a bit of adjustment of the rubber bands it stayed on the ball even off road, hitting really big bumps.

Also, I found that the strap that goes around the handlebars which hold the attachment in place cannot be tightened enough to not have it slide around due to the weight of GPS. To remedy this, I drlled a small hole through the strap into the handlebar and put a small screw in to keep it from slipping. This worked fine.

All in all, the bike mount worked as I expected and I did enjoy having it on my bike as I did a 30 mile trip on the canals in Phoenix AZ. Seems that manufacturers would have thought of these two obvious problems.

If you do not use rubber bands, and you try to put it on a bicycle, you can expect to see your GPS go bouncing and sliding on the ground. The ball mount is not strong enough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Secure Enough for Most Bikes, July 27, 2009

This is not a reasonable GPS mount for a bicycle. While the item itself is sturdy enough, the ball-mounts on most GPS brackets are not strong enough to survive the kinds of jolts to which typical bicycle handlebars are subject. Three miles of riding was all it took to send my Nuvi skidding across the pavement. This particular mount also positions the GPS way out from the handlebars, amplifying vibration and calling attention to itself.

1.0 out of 5 stars WAS a Very nice Garmin GPS mount, January 23, 2009

This review is from: IG-B01A: i.Trek Bike Mount for Garmin Nuvi 200, 200W, 250, 250W, 260, 260W, 270, 205, 205W, 255, 255W, 265T, 265WT, 275T, 500, 550, 750, 760, 770, 780 (Electronics)

I have a Panavise mount in my vehicle and this mount works really well to hold the GPS to it. It is simple to use and seems to hold very well. The picture does not really show how this works. The strap comes out so that you can wrap it around things, then you pull it tight. It really holds well.

Update: This WAS a very nice mount until the strap broke. There does not seem to be any easy way to replace the strap. It lasted a couple of months under 2 years. There are thin spots for the strap, but there are also cracks in other areas in the strap. I went to my vehicle and found my GPS on the center console. If you use this, you need to constantly check to status of the strap since otherwise your GPS could be damaged. I think that the all metal mounts are a better longterm option.
