I have used it with a variety of computers - Cateye, Garmin 705, Garmin 800 & it's very solid.

    Mind you - someone is making a lot of money from it - I would bet it doesn't cost much more than 50p to make - but in the UK it retails for about £12 . . . never mind - it does solve a problem very well.
    Yeah, they are $$ for something that I'm sure costs less than a quarter!

    I ended up ordering 2 of the longer ones...maybe down the road I will come up with a different solution, but this one seems the easiest to implement from the start. I think I should be able to fit my Forerunner 305 pseudo-wrist on one and the quick-release base and little white Knog light on the other.

    Zoom, do you have a link to this mount? I have the same issue. I put aerobars on my bike and I would like to sometimes have them on and sometimes not, so the computer mount on the bars is a pain.

    I ordered mine off eBay. I think I've seen them other places, cheaper, but I wanted to be able to use Paypal and not my CC.

    Nevermind, I see you were asking about the Topeak BarXtender. If you order it, let us know what you think.
