    Ok need help.
    I bought a garmin out front mount. Happy days looks great does the job.
    However I can't fit my bbb strike 500 light on the bars now as it hits off the garmin and I have bbb aero bars so little round space I can fit.
    Any suggestions

    New bike is the only option Im afraid.

    Your going to have to get a new bike with problems like that

    I think as an alternative to getting a new bike, which is clearly the best option, you could give me both the garmin and it's mount, leaving plenty of room for your bbb strike 500 light.

    You're welcome. ;)

    Fit the light upside down so it is underneath the handlebar, this should give you more space.
    or
    something like this. I have one on my tourer and they are great. mind what you buy, they take abuse so the fixing bracket needs to be of good quality. Not sure if they have a place on a tri bike though....

    Alternatively, fit the Garmin upside down beneath the handlebar.

    For the win - Tate Labs Universal mount. Mount the garmin on top, light underneath like this.

    I reckon you could jury rig a home made one of these with some bar cut offs. Nice.

    That looks like there should be a sniper rifle hidden in there somewhere.

    Given the amount of paraphernalia that you insist on riding around with then you'll need one of these

    Aaaah I'd love to take the credit but it's a stock image from Tate Labs themselves. I actually had a problem similar the blahblah06 using another manufacturers garmin mount when night training so I sprung for the universal mount and set it up as in the photo. It makes a much tidier job of things and will do great until the bright comes back in the Spring and the light goes back into hibernation.
