Picked-up a set of aerobars...now where to put my computer and light?

[zoom-zoom]

I scored these on eBay (for less than the price of a new pair of heavier aluminum ones). I have relatively narrow handlebars (40cm) with flat tops (which I love), so I really doubt there will be room for my computer mounts (especially since my "computer" is a Garmin Forerunner 305 and doesn't have a particularly small footprint) and a light.

I'm eyeballing this attachment...has anyone used it that weigh-in on its usefulness/quality? Reviews on Amazon seem pretty good.


Any other adaptors to recommend? I looked at some of those little nob doohickeys, but I don't think the large ones would even be wide enough for my Garmin (and I actually have 2 mounts for that--the one that's like a pseudo wrist that I use 99% of the time and then the quick-release mount for duathlon races).

When I had aerobars on my bike, I used something like this. I had the same bars that you just got (PD Jammers) and I put the mount on the straight section of the bar. Made it really easy to view my computer screen from any position. I've never seen the attachment pictured in your post...but I'm trying to visualize how/where it would even go on the handlebars. Too bad there isn't a picture of it actually attached to the bars, so you can see what it looks like.

Here's what that attachment looks like coming out from under the handlebars:


It can apparently be attached to the stem or the handlebars.

I'm sorta leaning against any sort of mount on the aerobars, since I may not leave them on all the time. It would be nice to be able to have them attached to the bike in some way, that way I don't have to move them around too much.

Some other views...looks like it's pretty much infinitely adjustable:

Ahhh...I see how it works now. Thanks for the pics. Looks like it would work fine...the only gripe I'd have with it, is the size of it...it looks rather large and cumbersome and I personally wouldn't like something that big cluttering up my handlebar area. But that's just me.

Yeah...it's not sleek from the look of things. Man, I wish I had broader shoulders so that limited real estate on my handlebars weren't such an issue.
