Thanks for the great tutorial. Just made a set for my HH and couldn’t be happier. Your instructions were excellent!

Comment on Garmin Oregon 450: First Bike Ride by The GPS Geek

my stem is 90mm, so it's not that much bigger than yours. However, if your stem won't work, there are some products out there that can help you find a solution. is supposedly for road bikes, but I've heard of folks using it on their mtb. Also consider the Paul Components Light Mount, which I would be more inclined to use for my GPS on my mtb just because it's simpler in design. Garmin's stock mount can be mounted on the stem or the handlebar, and I believe there's a RAM mount available, too. I just don't like RAM mounts. Too overbuilt, IMO.

I’m late to the party but I’m interested in this GPS for use on my MTB. My question, my stem length is 75mm how will this fit on my bike? Your stem looks longer then mine but it’s hard to tell from the pics.

Comment on Revisiting Strava by The GPS Geek

you can create a course from any .gpx or .tcx file using Garmin Training Center. Just load the file into GTC, then right click on it and select “create course from activity” and bam, you’re good to go. That doesn’t appear to be part of the API that Garmin lets other sites use. My guess is that Garmin does the necessary file conversions on its end separately. When you download from elsewhere, you have to do that step yourself.

I just replaced my Garmin 60csx with a Garmin Edge 200 with plans on using both Strava and Garmin Connect. It sees that Strava has a larger MTB following in my area Western NC than Garmin Connet does. My only disappointment is with Strava is that I can not pre download other riders courses to my Edge course feature.

Garmin Connect recently gave back Google as an option…

Don’t know much about OSM, but will check it out, nice summary of the issue.
