The legit Etrex mount from Garmin is fucking shit. Definitely have a lanyard backup if you use that £12 pile of shit.

I'm borrowing an Etrex with a view to using one on the TCR.
Within minutes of getting it and riding over Walthamstow Marshes, I felt something drop off my bike and after checking jersey pockets/saddle pack/usual things it took me a good 10 mins to notice it was the Etrex that had gone cos it's not part of my usual set-up. Cue 'needle in a haystack' moment of me retracing my steps and peering in bushes and puddles trying to find the fucking thing.
Things learned
- They bounce quite far
- They are waterproof
- They bounce quite far

If you do get an extrex make sure you have a cord to attach it to the handlebars in addition to the Etrex mount as they have a tendency to launch themselves from the handlebars when you hit a bump.
