Thinvik Bicycle Stem Headset Top Cap Mount for Wahoo Mini Wahoo Elemnt & Elemnt Bolt,Elemnt Roam GPS Bike Computer - Aluminum Alloy CNC(Basic)

The Wahoo Bolt head cap mount that came with the unit was terrible. The base of the mount was flexible, and there was no way to install it tight enough without deforming the base. This made it a pain to twist on Bolt and eventually the base ripped off the center hex bolt. The mount also would not give a solid snap to keep the Bolt centered, so it was always threatening to twist off the mount....had to keep twisting it back to the right.This replacement was a super quick install on my 2020 Orbea Occam. The base mount is a solid ABS type plastic that mounts strong on the head cap without any chance of deforming. The internal plastic 'unit mount' (what the Bolt twists onto) is also non-flexible plastic and gives a nice little 'snap' feeling that keeps the unit centered on the mount.I took it out for a test ride today and the whole kit seems very reliable and confidence-inspiring. As others have noted, its also a bonus that they include an extra 'internal unit mount'...I would think in the event you go OTB or otherwise crash and somehow you smash the Bolt and break off the tabs in the mount you have another one ready to go ;) A nice touch for a sub $10 item! If you are in the same spot I was - looking for an inexpensive Bolt mount that actually works - I say go for it.

Initial review after install. Seems to be a solid build, and I liked that it came with two Wahoo-specific plastic inserts, which seem to be a wear item. It also came with a tiny hex key, which was a nice touch. This installed nicely*, and my Wahoo BOLT fit securely. This appears to be the same part as the Wileosix, which has only one Wahoo insert and no hex key.So far, so good. I'll update this review if anything changes from my initial impression.*The correct tightness of a headset top cap is something of an art, so you may want to watch a YouTube video on that.

I purchase this stem mount because my bike's cables prevented me from using the aerodynamic mount for my Bolt and I didn't like the zip tie option for the other mount that came with the computer.Installation only took a few minutes, I had to loosen it and then re-tighten it to get the alignment *just right* lol. You install the base, then the mount piece gets screwed into it (2 screws, use the included hex wrench).The mount is very sturdy, no complaints at all.I only returned mine because I put Profile Design's AirStryke II aero bars on mine and I'm getting a mount to put the computer up front (stem mount is too far back for that).

Overall its a good alternative to K Edge or the other brands who sell mounts for the Wahoo computers. I have a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and it fit snugly at first but over time it gets a little rattley where sometimes I can hear rattle when on smoother singletrack. Doesn't bother me too much but it is noticeable. Overall a good deal since I have broken several of the caps and wish they would sell the replacement caps separately (I ride mountain bikes so I do crash).

I ordered this so that I could mount my wahoo onto the center of my mountain bike handlebards (it was offset before with the mounting hardware that it came with). This cap works great & gets the job done for cheap. Definitely would recommend buying it!

Product installed fairly easily. Quality seemed fine. Several other reviewers noted the plastic inserts seemed cheap, but they didn't appear to be particularly low quality at first glance. One day, after about two weeks of use, while standing next to my upright bike, the bike began falling and I reached out to grab the handlebars. My hand accidentally ended up grabbing Wahoo element instead, and to my surprise, the wahoo ripped right out of the mount. Upon inspection the plastic insert broke in two places. I understand that you would rather have the insert break than have the Wahoo break, and therefore this might be designed to be the intended point of failure, but wow! this thing broke with almost no force. The unit does come with two inserts, so I was able to install the second insert once I got home. If you're going to order this product, it will hold the wahoo securely, but be careful about impacting the unit while attached. I wouldn't recommend for mountain bikes.Update: Thinvik did contact me and provided a full refund for this product, so I will revise this review to mention that their customer support was good and ability to get a refund was very good.

The only drawback I have seen while using this product is actually not a problem with the product itself, just a nature of this type of mount. I am using this stem mount with an adapter on a cellphone case to allow for my phone to be locked in visual plane for exercise states, GPS, and other phone usage; it took me a few attempts to figure out the way on which the phone has to be installed, as the pivot locking system only allows for un/mounting gear in one direction. This isn't an issue with the product by any means, but did provide a slight learning cure when trying to use the system mindlessly and quickly.This is really sleek way to mount your bike computer/phone/accessories at the center of your vantage point, keeping things away from your hands, off your handlebars, and streamline with the design of a bike - I hate all the off center accessories that manufacturers vend.I haven't yet put this mount through it's paces, as the insert is plastic and who knows how that will take road vibration, etc., but they do provide a replacement inner clasp that is easily replaceable without removing the entire stem cap system.Will update over the course of a few hundred miles, or upon failure - whichever comes first.

I bought this for one of my bikes where there is limited space on the handlebar, with aerobars and handlebar bag. It is well designed and was installed very quickly by just replacing the existing cap. I have not tried it on the road yet but looks like the grip on my wahoo bike computer is hard enough and should be able to withstand trail and road bumps. Will see!
