I was looking for a single heavy duty mount for my new Wahoo Elemnt and Go Pro camera. The stock Wahoo mount was a bit flimsy, not square, and provided no option to mount my camera. The Bar Fly mount provided a reasonable solution to my needs at a relatively good price. It attached easily to my road bike handle bar with the provided adaptor. It is rock solid on the bar with both devices attached. The only negative comment I have concerns identification of the correct adapter from the many provided in the package. I eventually matched it, (they all look very similar) and learned not to test the fit of the bayonet mount off the bar! Once the Out Front mount is attached to the handle bar, the bayonet mount fits the Elemnt better than the factory mount. I should also mention the Out Front mount extends the camera position beyond the brake and shifter cables, a problem I had with the Quadlock out front mount for the camera. Read more
I had to contact customer support to figure out how to get everything bolted properly since the instructions provided did not provide a step-by-step. If you follow the photo and this text it is easy. Order of operation: 1. Turn mount up-side-down, place nuts L-R holes for Wahoo. 2. Place GoPro base on top of nuts, install nuts in GoPro base 3. Hold together, turn over, install long screws in Up-down holes, tighten GoPro 4. Place Wahoo head, install short screws. I like the additional support provided by the part I labeled A. This is the weak point of the combo mounts I have tried, and I expect many many solid miles with this unit. Nicely done! Read more
Works great and feels solid as it holds up my heavy Cycliq12 camera and Garmin Edge 20. I think I was sent a return as the box was not sealed and some parts were missing, but some spare parts in my bike tool bag resolved that issue as I needed to mount my camera on the bike for a ride the day the item arrived, so 4 stars it is. I also noticed that the Garmin does not sit 100% centered. It looks like it's a couple degrees slanted but it's only noticeable when being anal about it. Read more
This is a nice upgrade from my 4 year old Bar Fly 2.0. The improvements are: * The part that wraps around your handlebar now have a hinge, which the 2.0 didn't have - you could easily break if not being careful during installation. * More offset: this helps center the display with wider stem faceplates. * The ability to attach accessories such as lights. I love the ability to attach a light. It decutters the "cockpit". Also mounting the light centered to the bike looks very elegant. I use a hot-rodded Philips Saferide headlight. Its an excellent, super bright light with an even & long throw, but a bit bulky and unsightly on the handlebar. I did a bit of DIY to mount this to the Bar Fly's light holder. Things I didn't like: * The Garmin mount now requires you to mount the computer with a clockwise twist and remove with a counter clockwise twist. The 2.0 didn't care about the direction of mounting/removal. * The computer can move a little while pressing buttons. Doesn't move enough to pop out accidentally, but it doesn't seem as firm as the 2.0 Read more
Near perfect, but does have alittle flex, but definitely durable. All the GPS mounts make it perfect. Read more
I recently purchased the Bar Fly after changing from a Garmin to a Wahoo GPS head unit. I also wanted to be able to mount my headlight to get it off my handlebars. The computer mount is fine. The Barfly comes with six? different options that appear to be compatible with all of the common GPS head units out there. The light mount needs improvement. It uses two rubber band that wrap around your light to hold it in place. While they seem secure, if you hit any bumps or washboard conditions at higher speeds, the shock or vibration will detach the rubber bands and your light will be skidding along the pavement and under those in the paceline behind you. I've done two rides in the past two days. Both times my light has detached. Fortunately, it is still working. I bought some cable ties to backstop the rubber bands. I have not ridden with those in place yet, but they seem to hold the light much more securely. My guess is that will fix the problem. The downside is I will have to charge the light on the bike versus being able to remove it. Read more
This is a sturdy and we'll built product. I like that the underside has adapters for my GoPro or Niterider. I do think it is a bit overpriced unfortunately not many other more affordable options. Read more
I've had this mount on my daily computer for over 2.5 years, with over 15,000 miles ridden. Zero issues. It's one of the few things that just works and is hard to break. I use it with a Wahoo Bolt on the top and a Light and Motion Urban light on the bottom using the GoPro adapter. If you're going to mount an action camera on the bottom, get the aluminum Prime 4 version. Read more
