For $15 you'll get a cheap, and vulnerable, mount and mounting system.jayt wrote:Why does the dual mount cost $69!!! It is a beautiful piece of hardware, but that is WAY TOO Expensive. You might as well buy the new iPhone 5 Phone Booth for $60 and save $9 AND get a case. Also, note that you sell the iPhone 5 second bike kit for $69 and it looks to include the SAME dual mount AND a sensor. The sensors generally run $30 to $40. This is the one thing that is hard to understand when iBIke sports seems to gouge on the add on stuff. I just want to be able to add more mounts to my bike and not spend an arm and a leg. $30 for the new mount is still kinda expensive, but more in line with what it seems that it should be (ok maybe even $40).
For my Garmin 500 I can spend $10 to $15 and get TWO mounts (granted a much simpler system, but still).
The Dual Mount uses a machined and anodized aluminum bracket, and metal bolt. This is a very expensive design but protecting your iBike is worth it.
All of the above not withstanding, your point is well taken, and we did make a pricing mistake. The Dual Mount price has been lowered.
