InReach Mini Mini2 Bicycle Mount Adapter

InReach Mini Mini2 Bicycle Mount Adapter

InReach Mini Mini2 Bicycle Mount Adapter is a mounting bracket for Garmin InReach Mini and Mini 2 devices that does not require the additional Garmin InReach spine lock attachment.  Securely mounts to your device with Garmin's OEM precision M4 bolt (not included), allowing you to connect your inReach Mini or Mini2 to a range of bicycle handlebar accessories. We recommend that you continue to a device lanyard since a single retention bolt presents a single point of failure. We include a lanyard in for your convenience.

Note:  If you have the newest inReach version--the inReach3, we recommend buying the Garmin spine lock mounting kit and going with the kLite mount for Garmin spine lock devices, along with one of our GoPro style mounts. This provides the most secure mounting arrangement for your device.

For the inReach Mini / Mini2, three options are available:

• Circular Garmin Mount (Aluminum). 30g. Connect to a traditional GARMIN bike computer outfront handlebar mount (examples below--not included)
• Articulated headset cap adapter
• Dual Connection Aero Bar Adapter
• Outfront handlebar mount with underside kLite ULTRA mount
• Lightweight Headset Cap Adapter
• kLite / GoPro Two Lobe Mount. (Nylon 12) 6g. Connect to a kLite / GoPro three lobe mount (examples below--not included)
• Headset cap adapter
• Under headset cap adapter
• Low profile Aluminum handlebar mount
• Zip tie aero bar adapter
• Zip Tie Handlebar Mount. (Nylon 12) 11g. Connect to the handlebars with simple zip ties (zip ties included in order)

If your inReach Mini / Mini2 already has a spine lock mount (pictured below), you might want to consider the kLite mount for Garmin spine lock devices.

Each kLite inReach mount includes a lightweight safety lanyard (pictured below) to enhance the safety of your device. 

All of jefe.bike’s kLite mounting parts are designed by kLite in Australia and professionally manufactured in the U.S. to ISO and 6-Sigma standards. The circular Garmin mount model is 3d printed in Aluminum for added strength. The zip tie handlebar mount and two lobe kLite mount models are 3d printed with high grade Nylon 12, using a multi-jet fusion (MJF) 3d printing process. This cross-border manufacturing approach minimizes energy use, manufacturing waste, and pollution that arises from cross-ocean logistics.              

"I used the aluminum inReach stem cap mount on the Tour Divide this summer. It worked like a champ. Rock solid. Also made accessing and viewing the inReach super easy. If you ask me, the stem cap is the perfect place for an inReach. Great product!"

Application notes: 

Quick release removal of inReach Mini / Mini2: Only the Circular Garmin Mount and the Spine Lock Mount allow you to quickly remove the device, as you might for off-the-bike charging. The kLite / GoPro mount and the zip tie mount versions more or less permanently mount the inReach to your bike. You can remove the kLite / GoPro mount model by removing the M5 retention bolt, but you wouldn't want to be doing this on the regular. Same thing with the zip tie mount model, you can cut the zip ties to remove it, but it seems sort of wasteful. You'll want to think of both of these as "charge the device on the bike" sort of applications - useful if you have a portable power bank, a dynamo charging setup, or a longer charging cable.

The Garmin Circular Aluminum Mount:  We have experimented with a range of materials and have concluded that the 3D printed aluminum provides a "tour divide" like grip with the Garmin circular mount setup. The torsional forces are pretty significant when you get to really sending your bike over obstacles and the aluminum simply outpowers these forces and does so with a modest weight and cost profile. One additional benefit to Aluminum is that it creates more drag against the plastic Garmin circular mount receptacles than Nylon 12 or other 3d printing materials, meaning that it will stay put and won't vibrate loose. If you experience significant drag when mounting your Aluminum cam for the first time, consider using an evaporative liquid as a lubricant - gel hand sanitizer and / or water, along with a downward rotational force. Petroleum based lubricants will also work but may cause problems with non-metallic Garmin mounting devices used later.
