The Best Triathlon Aero Bar Computer Mount for Garmin and Wahoo

The Project 76 TT Computer Mount 3.0 is one of the best triathlon aero bar mounts for Garmin and Wahoo users. It places your bike computer directly between your aero bars, making it safer and more aerodynamic than traditional handlebar or stem mounts. Speaking to its creditability, the mount has been used by numerous world, Olympic, and Ironman champions.

Installation on Triathlon Aero Bars

Installing the Project 76 TT Mount 3.0 is straightforward but requires some trial and error. It comes with multiple spacer sizes, and you may need to test a few combinations before tightening it down.

·       Weight limit: Designed for computers under 150 grams. My Garmin Edge 520 is just 60 grams, so well within spec.

·       Fit: Adjustable to different aero bar widths and shapes covering 50mm to 90mm width bars (center to center) or wider with adapter sold separately. Velcro straps allow you to position anywhere along different width bars, though Project 76 recommends positioning the mount behind hands for the most aerodynamically efficient position.

·       Angle: The computer screen angle can be adjusted for your preferred viewing allowing you to glance at your computer while maintaining an optimal head position.

·       Straps: The Velcro straps are very long. I trimmed the excess for a cleaner look.

Once installed, the mount felt stable and minimized side-to-side movement, and my Garmin clicked right in.

Race Day Test of the Project 76 TT Mount 3.0

I tested the mount during training and raced with it at Ironman 70.3 Wisconsin. Compared to my old stem-mounted setup, this was a major improvement.

·       Visibility: I could see all my data without looking down, which was safer and more aero.

·       Security: The Garmin computer locked in snugly into the bezel insert and stayed put even at high speeds.

·       Issue: By the end of the 56-mile ride, the mount loosened slightly causing my computer slight rattling. There is an Allen screw that seems to work loose on rough roads. A quick re-tighten solves it, but it is worth checking before long races.
