Recall that Garmin prematurely updated their site with the upcoming Edge 1030+ device last year. These leaks are getting so common that we might start to think it’s a marketing strategy were it not for the fact that the only people who discuss them are a handful of Twitter nerds.…

This new rattle-free, reliable and sturdy mount uses their patented “CLIP+RIDE” system to attach the lock to the bracket for a steady hold in transit.
