Digital camera reviews of Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit
Digital camera Review: Excellent accessory for the Forerunner 305
Summary: 5 Stars
Now my wife's bike riding is captured on one device rather than having a seperate cycle computer.
Installed easy and works well.
Digital camera Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This kit contains a velcro wrist strap with a sturdy plastic mounting clip. The original strap pieces are permanently removed using the supplied tool, then the strap pins are replaced into the 305 body. The pins can then clip into the mount on the velcro strap, or the identical part of the bike mount. Removing the unit from the bike and putting it on your wrist, or vice-versa, takes less than 5 seconds.
The reviewer who said you have to take several minutes to re-attach the original wrist straps after taking the 305 off your bike seems to have failed to grasp the concept; the velcro strap *permanently* replaces the original straps.
The only potential downside I can think of is that the clip on the velcro wrist strap could hang up on long sleeved clothing, like a wetsuit, so triathletes will want to put the strap on during T1. Other than that, this is a very handy piece of kit!
Digital camera Review: Excellent!

The person who said it fell off the quick release must have been doing something wrong. I wiped out HARD three times on my bike last year and it never even thought of coming off.
Digital camera Review: Excellent!

I use this on my Mountain Bike. I maily ride XC but it can get very technical here in New England. This mount has held the Forerunner in great and doesnt get in my way at all. The included wrist strap with this kit hold the Forerunner on my big wrists much better. I think they should have included this kit with the Forerunner from the get go and ditched those crappy watch bands it came with.
If your looking for an easy way to mount the Forerunner on the bike and then back to a 'watch' mode for running, this kit is PERFECT.
Buy it!
Digital camera Review: Excited to use my Forerunner for biking!

I have had a Garmin ForeRunner 305 for two years now - it's been such an awesome training tool for half-marathons and other runs. I also have recently started doing triathlons and road bike races. I had previously been wearing my forerunner on my wrist, but am excited to now have it mounted on the handle bars. The mounting process was easy and like other reviewers, I like the new velcro strap. I have small wrists and it seems to fit well.
