Title: Garmin/Wahoo Mounts from Alloy Express for Kalloy Uno Stem?
Post by: RhubarbChrisP on October 13, 2024, 05:28:58 PM
Has anyone found a quality Garmin or Wahoo style mount that works with a Kalloy Uno Stem and is available on Aliexpress?

I use this. Also works as a small spacer between the top cap and stem.

I recently installed this mount on one of my bikes that has a Kalloy Uno stem. The mount was recommended in another thread on this forum. Seems solid, no issues so far.

I have the og-evkin one but the inserts were shit and they crumbled on first use, I replaced them with k-edge ones, which fit perfectly.

That gub titanium mount on aliex looks nice.

If you get an adjustable front computer mount, make sure you get one with a torx screw and not a hex screw at the adjustment point. The hex screw head is too small to handle torque and will strip. The torx screws can handle more torque and will stay in-place.

Which kind are you looking for? Out front? Top cap mounted? Handlebar mounted? Faceplate mounted? Lots of options.

Probably either outfront mount or faceplate mount/using two of the faceplate bolts.

Ideally without the light/accessory attachment (or with removable light/accessory attachment) because aero.

I used these but i've cracked 2 mounting brackets by tightening the stem plate bolts to 5nm. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007032664646.html

Ordered one of these, will see how it goes https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007573593744.html

@toxin Without knowing what that is made of and if the plastic material will creep, I would avoid it.

These are great,  but not on Aliexpress, so you will either need to use a service like superbuy or navigate international purchasing in the chinese version of the app: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=633892271854. You want one of the last few options that specify stem angle and insert type.

I have this on almost all bikes : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803662704812.html

Excellent so far and even fit onto extra wide FSA SMR stem.

problem with a bunch of these is there is no angle adjustment

Cheap ones with angle adjustment always buckle under the weight of the computer and light. Fixed angled mounts for me forever.

Well not all of us have a stem angle that allows that

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the torx screw computer mounts handle load much better. Also adjustable front mounts are necessary on anything with -/+ 17 degree stems. Non-adjustable mounts will point awkwardly up or down with those stems.

I can't find the one I'm using on AliEx, but here's the link on US Amazon:

if you need adjustable, I reckon the fouriers ones look pretty solid.

Yup, this is the one I have and snapped two of.
