Edge Bike Computer Installation

To obtain the best product performance, you should read all installation instructions before mounting your Edge® bike computer on your bike. You can also go to www.garmin.com/manuals/edge1050 to print a mounting template.

Installing the Standard Mount

For the best GPS reception and screen visibility, position the bike mount so the device is horizontal to the ground and the front of the device is oriented toward the sky. You can install the bike mount on the stem or the handlebar.

NOTE: If you do not have this mount, you can skip this task.
  1. Select a secure location to mount the device where it does not interfere with the safe operation of your bike.
  2. Place the rubber disk Callout number 1 on the back of the bike mount.

    Two rubber disks are included, and you can select the disk that best fits your bike. The rubber tabs align with the back of the bike mount so it stays in place.

  3. Select an option:
    • If the handlebar diameter is 25.4 mm or 26 mm, place the thicker pad around the handlebar.

    • If the handlebar diameter is 31.8 mm, place the thinner pad around the handlebar.

    • If the handlebar diameter is 35 mm, do not use a rubber pad.

  4. Place the handlebar connector around the handlebar, so that the mount arm is above the bike stem.
  5. Use the 3 mm hex key to loosen the screw Callout number 3 on the mount arm, position the mount arm, and tighten the screw.
    NOTE: Garmin® recommends tightening the screw so the mount arm is secure, with a maximum torque specification of 20 lbf-in. (2.26 N-m). You should check the tightness of the screw periodically.
