Safest place to mount a Bosch kiox

[ashleydwsmith]

Following my recent crash which broke my 2 day old kiox head unit, where would you say the safest space on the bars is to mount the unit.

currently using the supplied setm mount. not I didn’t have a lanyard fitted that may have caused it not to break

I moved mine from the bars to the top tube

Awesome, if you can let me know how to make the controller work as well then it’s a done deal!

Modify a trek rail mount and fit it to the top tube behind the stem?

yep...sorry..I know it does not help you, but my comment was more a bout the stupidity of a system that does not enable you to opt to run without a vulnerable display.

Same, my Mondraker came with a very similar mount that everyone complains about because it sticks out beyond the stem. I just flipped it around and voila...I think it's relatively safe from harm there.

Bought my C-dale used and the previous person broke theirs off the stem as well. I got one of those handlebar mounts and promptly ripped it competly off in a big crash. (New cables are hard to find) so I designed and 3D printed this for myself. No more issues.

Hey where did you buy the toptube mount??

 

[Quinterly]

Top tube as well. For Trek's it's a Trek part (w591512) and can be ordered by any Trek dealer.

After much thought about the Kiox 300 I've come to the conclusion there's no 'safest place' for it, all mounting positions are compromised and we just have to accept a hiccup or two now and a gain

Hey guys,

If is usefull for somebody you can also just remove the kioxa 300 before going agressive.

Simply remove the kioxa and the cable that comes from the frame into the screen connect directly into the remote in my case LED Remote BRC3600.

With the white mark on the plug pointing downwards.

Like this you bypass the screen, also good to know in case you do break the screen.

IMO the top tube mount is the best for the Kiox. A special mount for the Kiox is available for the knock-block system. A small triangle shaped insert with alignment holes keeps the Kiox holder in position.

A lanyard is a good idea when you use the magnetic mount. You’re asking for trouble if you choose to use the small screw on the back for permanent mounting, unless you ride on pavement only.

Actually I am planning to move it on the tube like this mount.
