Easy Etrex 35 + light out front mount
I don't like Edge computers since I prefer AA powered GPS. My GPS of choice is an Etrex 35, but I was missing an out front mount. I also ride a lot at night, so I also wanted something that allowed me to easily mount my light.
I bought a 2 bar extension from aliexpress and rigged this in half an hour. I attached the etrex mount on the extension and attached the light underneath using the stock rubber band.
Now I just need to find a better place to fit the battery and I'll be completely happy. Anybody knows of a good way to attach a 6x 18650 battery on the bike? I hate the cloth case attached with velcro straps.

That looks awesome. I hang my battery at the back of the top tube up against the seat tube using a Velcro strap.

I zip tie my battery packs under the stem.

I use Bluetooth charging and keep the battery in my pocket.
