Good options to mount Garmin on the encore? Can't seem to just hook it around the jbar like i want.

Don't own an encore, but I found this http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=116740 . Hope it helps.

Look at something like this, they make a few different types. I have on on my CA2 that is rock so.id, been using it for a couple years now.

I just use a Garmin Edge 25, so probably not applicable. But I just proppd it a bit with old tube.
Not enough miles sadly to say this is the permanent solution.

That was exactly thought. Last i saw of Nelson he was on a fwd bike headed off into the sunset. You won the lurker of the year award!

Hi Guys, yeah returned to the great state of Texas! Have sorely missed you folks. Hope you are well! I ended up selling the Barcroft Oregon to evblazer. I did really enjoy it, but the Q factor was large and after about 3000 miles my knees began revolting. Now trying the encore 20, but may try a regular at some point as well. So we can compare J Bar bounting solutions.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Greg, check out alden-carbon.com . They make Garmin mounts and custom mounts. I have no experience with them, but the guy who told me about them has.

Here is something I made for my schliter. I printed it on a 3d printer but you could carve one out of a 1/2 incv PVC.
Place it across the bars and use tywraps to hold it on. You can put a computer on each side.
