Says the mount fits stem tubes 25-44mm wide.
Nitto quills are 20. Was wondering if they actually fit the narrower Nittos. Thanks.

I have been using this one for years. Cheap and easy to use.  
When the orange rubber/elastic breaks just go to your local outdoor sports store and replace with the smallest bungee cord that they have.

Bosco Bullmoose, small bands:

Threadless stem, large bands:

Nitto quill stem (but not on a bike), small bands:

The two sizes of rubber bands give you a pretty wide range. It feels just as secure on all three, though the quill stem came from the parts bin so I haven't road-tested it. There is rubber grippy stuff on the underside of the mount, so if you do end up trying to mount it somewhere outside the range of the bands, zip ties are also an option.

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm pretty happy with the setup. The quick release works nicely, and the phone feels nice and secure when it's in place. The case is pretty darn slim, as well, better than I expected. Yes, there's still a "wart" on the bike, which I'm not thrilled about (less of an issue on the "modern" looking road bike), but it's less conspicuous than the other options out there.

The range of sizes they list appears to relate to the curvature of the bar mount. It definitely seems to have the biggest contact area on the thicker threadless stem. In practice, though, it's grippy enough under tension from the bands that it's not a problem.

Yes, I use this Quad-lock from Australia on my Big Green Rivendell Redwood. And I love it. In fact, I no longer use my Garmin--just the iPhone with a runtastic Rode Bike Pro app.

I replied to your other thread, this is the one I used:

http://www.ibikeconsole.com/detail.asp?catid=88184&Pdtid=689936

Does mount to the extension section of a quill stem with the included adapters.  I will sell it to you if you're interested.
