broke 2 0f these in 100 road miles the patheticly bad designed lugs break off and then it flaps about.
surely one can get a decent one?

mine has broke too, a couple of feet have snapped off the mount - reluctant to buy another @ £20 if it only lasts a few months

this place was recommended to me - haven't tried them yet but they seem to have lots of mounting options

I notice there is no mention of MM products so perhaps they have had loads returned.
For now Ive removed the spring and superglued the whole thing solid.
will probably fabricate my own using a quick release front light handlebar mount,from halfords,and the remains of a ram unit.
Need to build in a bit of flexibility as I dont want the gps shaken to bits!a lump of rubber,(pencil errasure) sandwiched between the two, super glued together should do it.

bought the rubber strap type mount from halfords and cut/glued it to the t bracket from the remains of the ram mount,tried it on the stem first but did another one that mounts on the handle bars,that is much better as you can alter the angle to suit the direction of the sun.
All works very well far far superior to the origonal! cost £4.99 and 10 minutes work.
