Reply #4 - Apr 1^st, 2018, 10:00pm https://www.flickr.com/gp/nelson_ralls/hMmH09 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.

Wow, is that really you, Nelson? I haven't heard from you in forever. Where are you, these days?

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.

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.
