I disagree. It is kind of a Garmin issue because there is and has been an industry standard for mounting computers for a long time. This is why it has not been necessary to by a new aftermarket mount even…

K-Edge is already aware of the issue, and should address the issue with a longer version of the Future mount, as I have already stated earlier.

The rubber spacer would give and prevent the bolt from fully torqued. Over time vibrations will slowly cause the screw to back out. It's best to buy a proper mount once it becomes available.

Thanks. I did think of that. I put loctite on the bolt threads. I will keep an eye on it until I can get a better setup. A 3D printed spacer would be good.

CarbonWorks MasterMount fits for the Garmin 1050

I created a 1.5mm spacer from a $13 hobby shop lexan sheet. Now I have 1.6mm gap between the 1050 and SL7 faceplate

I've got a similar problem with the BLACK INC integrated barstem mount... I can't lock the Garmin device in a horizontal position :( it needs to point a bit down :(

Is it just me that find this tottaly unnacceptable??? A top equipment with this nonsense?!?

Everybody trying to find weird, or cheap solutions, or buying expensive mounts...

Shouldn't GARMIN prevented this? The proper mount should be in the box!

This is a concepcion failure! Just ridiculous!

I think that's not really a case for Garmin but for the Specialized. Garmin is not really making the mounts for Spec. Garmin provides the mount with the device. Just imagine how many mounts they would need to include in the box for all the bike handlebars :)

I disagree. It is kind of a Garmin issue because there is and has been an industry standard for mounting computers for a long time. This is why it has not been necessary to by a new aftermarket mount even when changing brands, it only required changing the insert. Then along came the 1050 and lo and behold none of the aftermarket mounts work anymore, all because and engineer moved the mounting lug. Why did it move? I would assume for better weight balance as this computer is substantially heavier than Garmin’s previous offerings. I think the a/m will catch up eventually, but until then we, the consumers, will have to come up with some creative solutions. I have posted a simple solution on another thread. For Specialized SL7 Stem mount it only requires a 1.5 mm spacer which can be cut from a sheet of Alexander or similar material, I reused the existing M4 bolt. No contact while rotating and buttons are still accessible. My total cost $13. I hope this helps.

that's it!

the design / project team didn't considered standards and consumer interests! And this is wrong! Even under a sustainability point of view!
