You gotta check this out:



Looks like pretty much the same thing except not carbon. They're selling on ebay for about $5 or so including shipping. Heres the best part:

"Please note and be aware that this item is very fragile, and frankly was not made well. They break easily and need to be used with care. An extra mount will be shipped with each order to serve as a replacement when it breaks. It will break, so please be aware of that. With all of this said, the item can be useful if you use it right."

So who knows how it will work, but at $5 for apparently 2 of them, its probably worth a try.

It will break, so please be aware of that

I think I know what the topic starter meant with a 'clean look', Stevan11 surly doesn't know.. Check the picture on his blog post from 19th of January.

I remember seeing any guy on a forum getting his polar s7xx on the stem, but can't remember how he got it to stick there.

Could of been with this-


I think the company is out of business. I have no idea who sells them if they are still for sale somewhere.

You have to take the straps off the HRM and it attaches right onto the top of the stem.

I'm making one myzelf now. Thursday one part will come in and then I will see if it will work what I designed.

If it looks totally stupid you guys won't see a thing of it.

I have this and has treated my edge 305 well for the last two years. The only downside is that its secured by two thick rubberbands which tends to make it swing either up or down when hitting big bumps...

The parts came in today, I made a picture of the 2 plates I gonna use. The plates only need to bend in a corner of 90 degrees. The carbon tube needs to be cut in the right lenght and comes between the 2 plates. The 2 plates will be assembled between the font plate of my stem and the stem.
Hope you will get the idea.

I've put it together with some tape and made some pics of it holding it on my bike.

Here is the result.

You could sell those! Nice!

Who wants

[yourdaguy]

How much? and shipping to the US?

[Stoeperd]

It depends on how much plates I order. And for what kind of stem, the vertical distance of the bolts comes pretty close.

To get a good result you need to bend the plates when te frontcap of the stem is bolted to the plates. For the carbon tube between the plates you need to measure the width of the stem, I used a piece from my fork that had to be cut.

If somebody is really interested you can PM me.

I just realized I have 2 bolt stems.

I zip tied my Garmin 705 computer mount to the top tube of my bike... right behind the stem... it's more aerodynamic there and protected from damage.... you just have to look down a little more....

As seen @ the 13 second point and on in this video...

I need something like this, but it has to hold my Shimano Flight Deck computer on one side and the Polar HRM on the other.

Any way you can make something to fit my needs please let me know.

I have the Oval Concepts 910 carbon handlebar with the FSA 115 stem.
