Tarmac SL7 and garmin edge 1050

Does anyone has the garmin edge 1050 fitten on a Tarmac SL7?

  • Is your mount set to the long position?  I was about to buy a 1050 but I’m now concerned with the conflicting reports.

  • The bar is a single piece of alloy, it has one length.   The 1050 will fit… if you force it (to me) more than a little bit.  For a computer that expensive, I don’t want to force it every time I take it off the bike … the tabs on the connecting post of the computer will eventually fail.  

    I’ve listed somewhere else.  If you put a small piece of plastic between the stem and the mounting bar, it gives the computer enough clearance to come on and off without touching the stem.  

  • On mine the computer mount "puck" can be orientated to a long position or a short position.

  • I carry it in the long position and I have placed the original "hitch" of the curved support that comes in the box, it raises the position a little and releases the stem.

  • Got it.  Yes i have mine setup the same way with the puck extended as far as it can go.

  • Actually.  As i look at your specific puck, it rises higher above the base than mine does (I’d take a pic, but the bike is in the shop for a front derailleur issue :) ) … i ‘think’ your elevated puck will give you enough clearance to fit.  

  • This way it doesn't touch and there is a gap of approximately 2 millimeters, it fits perfectly.

  • I have the SL7 stem and faceplate and am using that with roval rapide bars (not the one piece).  It fits fine using the specialized/barfly mount but it does rub when you're twisting in on and off.

    I've just put a piece of 3M vinyl wrap on the 1050 usb port cover and also on the front of the face plate. Works well now

  • Would you mind expanding on what you mean by "original "hitch" of the curved support that comes in the box".  Is this something that I can replicate with the contents of the Edge 1050 box?  I assume that's the case, but just want to check before purchasing.

  • The 1050 box also comes with the curved support, you have to release the round piece and put it on the SL7 support
