SILCA 'Chisela' Premium Titanium Cycling Computer Mount 

Thanks

Personally I think this mount looks good with the garmin 1030, however I would love a shorter mount for the mid sized head units so they don't look so far out Infront.

I honestly like the idea of well made products that will last a lifetime. I've had a few broken plastic mounts and I wish we'd stop making throwaway plastic items. That said, the lack of angle adjustment means it doesn't have the kind of future proof design to ensure it will be useful in a few years, or if you have a stem whose bolts aren't completely level.

What a great idea, that will reduce the weight of my credit card!

Also look forward to all your videos! Like the mount!

Love Silca products... Not entirely worth the full buck however they have never failed me. So maybe they are. I ended up getting 2 mounts from Raceware direct which are fairly similar and only got 2 because of that aero factor. One Garmin / GoPro combo and One Wahoo Roam Aero / GoPro Combo. Absolutely love em. No way near as well finished but also not a bank buster.

Great honest & thorough review as always. I don't know what to think of old Josh at Silca although I appreciate his bike nerdiness and decent quality chain lube. Their ti bottle cages are another premium priced item that of course don't come with mounting hardware (WTF?). I own the equally overpriced Pista Plus floor pump and while it's a nice bit of kit, does it really inflate my tires that much better than my old cheap Nashbar pump? Glad you didn't have to spend your personal income on this mount.

Thanks for remembering me about the Penis-Shaped Silca Mount from last year :D This one looks nice, but yeah, too expensive. I already thought my K-Edge was on the pricey side, but this one is on another level.

I have one of these (two bolt integrated) on my Grail, its great, worth the money IMO. Also some of them DO have tilt, mine does.

Great video!! $$$. thanks for Keeping it Simple

GP Lama Cycling Emporium. Whatever GPS unit you need, Shane will have.

I really like that mount, I will be ordering one before then end of the day.

Thanks!

I’m just glad Silca decided to make one for the Vision Metron 5/6D bars. We don’t have much options out there.

I got the F3 Cycling Form mount, because the standard out-front doesn't fit my Aerofly; I think it looks better than this, and is a more versatile solution also (plus half the price).

I just watched a 15 minute video on a titanium stem mount that retails for US$125 I hate myself. 🤣

I clocked out the moment you mentioned the price. It's just a mount, for Pete's sake. That said, I did watch till the end, the compatibility and ease of installation are impressive. GoPro mount location is a plus as far as my own preferences are concerned. I would consider it for half the price.

I prepared myself for the price and I still raised my reserved English eyebrows when I saw it.

I want to see what the SL7 tarmac mount looks like. Probably won’t change the specialized proprietary one that’s on there already but just curious.

I am interested in this mount as I have had a series of failures with handlebar-mount types and cheap stem-bolt mounts. The only problem-free mount I have had so far is Bontrager's blender mounts. But I also have a Giant bike and can't buy Bontrager stem for it (OD2), so I have no other choice. What puts me off, however, is the way Chisela looks where it meets its host stem. I should expect a much better fitment for the price. As Shane said, a standard version (9-30mm) should be a better fit for a Giant bike; my Giant stem is exactly 30mm C to C (same as Shane's stem), and the wide version looks just too wide. Silca nevertheless recommends the wide version just in case, but I don't want to end up looking like Shane's bike in this video after having burnt $125. lol But I gotta thank Shane for this excellent review that helped me getting a better idea on how this mount works and looks like.

1/3 of the price and you can get the HideMyBell from CloseTheGap…. Hidden bell, multi cycle mount for a whole range of cycling computers + the GoPro, Light mount 🤷🏽‍♂️

Price aside, I like te placement of the GoPro mount. Not so forward (directly under the bike computer) as it is on other mounts.

Would like to see a GPlama video on the new muc off air tag tubeless valves.

I have the Fetha out front mount on two bikes... really like it. Unfortunately they seem to be either out of stock or out of business....

they should also start to have the hammerhead puck with the mounts

Another great review. One concern I have is that my Envy has a stated weight limit that puts my Hero 9 just over the stated max. So I never use it and that blows. What is the weight limit for the GoPro mount of this Silca "luxury" mount?

Bummer about the bolt v1 not fitting. I just got a new giant revolt and that weird shape handle bar doesn’t let the wahoo mount or the light mount sit quite right.

Trek make the blendr mount that clips into bar mount-£12.00 & approx 20grms

That Is exy. The GUB G696 mount is $20 AU and adjustable. Aluminium not Ti though.

Does edge 540 fits on that?

Installed mine and I’m concerned about the sharp edges of the install interface rubbing against the cables.

Looks nice, but the Zipp quick integrated mount still better and more usable.

For the huge uplift in price I'm not seeing any particular advantage, unless people just like the Silca logo

Hi Gp, I have a a Bolt v1. How close does it go to fitting the Silca Mount? Could I shave a little material off the back of the Bolt v1 with the dremel to make it fit?

Hi there Mr. Lama ;) Love your content, that helped me do informed buying descisions (Smarttrainer, PMs: 2 Xcadey that i synced thanks to your instruction, and now a quarq due to the 12x sram; and my Hammerhead Karoo2

Curious if the Garmin Edge 1050 would fit on this?

Your bike computer mount costs more than my whole bike

will quadlock fit

Wonder why bolt v1 couldn't fit 🤔 and v2 would. Thought they have the same kind of mount

Seems quite heavy for the price tbh. My extralite mount is 13g and looks better imo. But great insight

Bolt V1 gang

OMG, I saved 2 grams over my previous stock mount. Now I don't have to go on a diet to lose weight and I'll do so much better in the wind tunnel. What a blessing! God bless titanium. A definite First World purchase. They'll be flying off the shelf.

If you want to invest in a premium light mount get the Carbonworks mount. About the same price but better quality and a lot more adjustability. Appreciate the video!

It's a battle between silca and carbonworks for the worlds most expensive mount 😂

Unfortunately Chisela doesn't work with Exposure Strada light, only something much shorter. A bummer! Nice mount but with a drawback..

I bought this a number of years ago from the person who designed & sold it. I still have it somewhere in the junk drawer. Every other mount I've used over the years is better.

Titanium has some pleasant charasterictics for bike cycling. But weight is not one of them. It is heavier then aluminium and much more expensive.

It's products like this that make me glad I'm not at all a weight weenie. US$125 for a GPS mount? Ridiculous. The aluminum out front mount that came with my Bryton 750 is perfectly good enough for me.

Seriously? 100 USD for Garmin mount? Spent 4 USD for ZTTO and happy with it 😂

I am not convinced...my Aluminium one is lighter, shorter so it looks better and costs 1/10'th. The fact that it is printed titanium makes it unique but thats it...

Still no one making anything decent for Ritchey stems 😞

Who doesn't like an outfront mount, and i like Silca. But seriously, that price is ridiculous.

Mounts like this have been available for years on Amazon for a fraction of the price. Other than saving a few grams, I don’t see what this mount brings to the table compared to cheaper varieties.

The price is ok considering it's printed titanium, which takes more time than most think it will. But I can't wrap myself around WHY titanium. Carbon or even graphite injected plastic is 1/5th of the price and just "as cool". 34g for this. 31g for the Canyon Aero Garmin mount (plastic). Oh well...it's a niche :)

Silca, an old great italian brand, now american. Great products however.

I always wonder how they configure the price of these gadgets,it’s just not justifiable!

Great review but I’ll stick with K-edge

Like most Silca products over priced. On their website it states $183 this might be converted to AUD. If you are a concerned about bike weight a F3 mount is great, you will have money left over in your pocket and fits the stem better than the Silca. Minimal instructions with a $183 product, really now.

I'm amazed that people actually pay so much for Silca products.. I guess that as they have been going for so long there are plenty!!

Eh, this is a hard pass. The under side where it bolts in looks kind of sloppy - maybe the standard would look cleaner. Not sure I like how thick the neck(?) of the mount looks, either. Also, that price! 💩

I have two computer plastic mount made by Garmin. Both of them have about 5 year, still like new. No excuse for that ridiculous $125 price. Same BS with bikes. It's understandable a $4000 or even $6000 dollars bikes, but, $10,000, $12,000...really?

you can get cycling computers with a mount for cheaper than this mount

The K-Edge is a complete waste of money. It is basically a heavier version of the original Wahoo mount, with zero aerodynamic benefits and cost almost as much as the Silca, which is at least different..

Heavy, expensive and bulky looking comparing to other premium stem mounts. With 3d printer I would make something more special design and maybe save weight.

Do a biker really need a 120$ computer mount ?? you will get mote benefit if invested in beer !

CLEARLY CONVENTIONAL HANDLEBARS AND APPLE WATCH USERS ARE NOT WELCOME !

That looks ugly and bulky. Strange application for 3D printing titanium. I stick with machined aluminum out front mounts.

F3 Form mount is way better
