Your expensive device is in serious danger!

Since I'm a lot with the bike on the road, so I looked for my wheels (1 mountain bike, road bikes 2) three of these holders
gained for my new Garmin Oregon 600th
First of all: For such a piece of plastic it is totally overpriced!
But if they at least their purpose fulfilled ... what they do not ..

After I had assembled all 3 holders (the cable ties I have so firmly as possible pulled with pliers)
I found that the insertion, but especially the extraction was extremely difficult.
Especially during pushing out, where you have to push back a tab with "maintaining tooth," you have to spend a lot of power and you twisted while the holder on the handlebar, which is but must be careful at the same time to give the device any unwanted commands or but jerkily to let fly from the holder.

I greased the slide of the holder so slightly with petroleum jelly and wiped Vaseline then again completely away. It helped.
Now the device could be insert with perceptible resistance, the retaining teeth snapped into place.
Then I went to sample a 80 Km - tour with my bike.

After 3 kilometers a lot of my small rattling on the handlebars on.
The retaining tooth had freed himself by vibration from the Oregon .... after 2 kilometers the GPS had jumped almost entirely from the handlebars! I put the Oregon therefore the safety for another ride in my shirt pocket.

Since I unfortunately do not know a really good alternative to this holder, I let me now come up with something that keeps my Oregon bombproof.

TIP --- See also the set of my photos:

Old bicycle inner tubes enter (by mountain bike and road bike) in rings cut her very excellent rubber bands.
I have cut out of an old MTB Tube two rings, an approximately 1 cm and 0.5 cm wide.
- 1) the thinner I pull on the holder before the GPS is postponed. (There can always be).
After pushing the GPS device I prefer high, the upper end of the rubber and Stülpe it to the GPS-own slide.
Thus, the device is permanently tightened by elastic band into the holder.
- 2) The wider rubber I pull on the lower part of the GPS, and under the retaining tooth of the holder.
When Oregon 600 that goes perfectly, because there are no buttons and the touch screen still not start.
These rubber keeps the retaining tooth safely in GPS, while eliminating an unpleasant rattling noise when driving over
a rough road.

At least the first backup can be done with any GPS.

Note:
I have an older Garmin eTrex Legend, do not pass all these problems in which:
Robust non-slip holder with handlebar clamp, what the GPS is really safe.
The GPS is a jiffy on and off with one hand.

Not a good development of Garmin ....
