Safest place to mount a Bosch kiox

[ashleydwsmith]

Following my recent crash which broke my 2 day old kiox head unit, where would you say the safest space on the bars is to mount the unit.

currently using the supplied setm mount. not I didn’t have a lanyard fitted that may have caused it not to break

I moved mine from the bars to the top tube

Awesome, if you can let me know how to make the controller work as well then it’s a done deal!

Modify a trek rail mount and fit it to the top tube behind the stem?

yep...sorry..I know it does not help you, but my comment was more a bout the stupidity of a system that does not enable you to opt to run without a vulnerable display.

Same, my Mondraker came with a very similar mount that everyone complains about because it sticks out beyond the stem. I just flipped it around and voila...I think it's relatively safe from harm there.

Bought my C-dale used and the previous person broke theirs off the stem as well. I got one of those handlebar mounts and promptly ripped it competly off in a big crash. (New cables are hard to find) so I designed and 3D printed this for myself. No more issues.

Hey where did you buy the toptube mount??

 

[Quinterly]

Top tube as well. For Trek's it's a Trek part (w591512) and can be ordered by any Trek dealer.

After much thought about the Kiox 300 I've come to the conclusion there's no 'safest place' for it, all mounting positions are compromised and we just have to accept a hiccup or two now and a gain
