Re: Mr Postman
Blade don't buy it. I have just tried to connect the RAM stem to the suction cup ball. The ball is too small for the RAM stem! Although the suction seems fine for the tank it wasn't budging even while I was trying to peel it off!

Re: Mr Postman
Fwiw Rossgo, although that looks a pretty good bit of kit for the price, I would be reluctant to entrust my Gopro to any suction mount. Like you I have endured those "suicide suction mounts" for Satnav, mobile phones etc..Rossgo wrote:Sure Blade here's the item number off eBay

I am going to see whether the ball is big enough for the RAM mount later today. I don't see why it shouldn't work though. I was really shocked at how strong the suction is. My old Tom Tom car suction mount is crap always falls off my car windscreen haha
I was supplied with a genuine GoPro suction mount with my camera as part of the original kit, and have never yet used it. I think the only circumstance where I would is inside a car, or similar.
However I do trust the sticky mounts. I have even had a spill at three figure speeds & the Gopro stayed firmly in place.!
If you are reluctant to stick the mounts on your bike because of their reputation for being difficult to remove without damage, then I've learnt of a clever trick.: Rather than stick your mount straight onto the paintwork, apply one of those stickers (like the ones you get free with some bike mags etc...) Then place the mount on to that surface. This will not only allow the mount to be removed more easily, but also may enable the self adhesive mount to be re-used.

Re: Mr Postman
StMarks. Yes well put with the sucide suction mounts, think that is the prefect way of describing them! I'm going to give the mount ago as tomorrow won't be high speed and I do want to test it. I'm annoyed the ball mount isn't the right diameter for the official RAM stem as that would of been prefect, can't get it all I suppose! Good idea with the stickers under the mounts may give that a go. Certainly wouldn't mind different places for shots [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Re: Mr Postman
Nothing! For days now I have been chasing a parcel that not arrived, been talking to the supplier who used Parcel force to ship the goods, I even collared the parcel force delivery guy on the door step.... He was a waste of fecking time, not only did he not speak English, he did not even try, he stood there and spoke absolute gibberish.
Finally got a call from the supplier today to tell me the guy had indeed delivered the parcel on the day I received the text, bearing in mind this is now 5 days since it was supposed to be here on an overnight!
They said he delivered to No 19 of my street, I don't live at 19, the parcel did not say No19, turns out people of no 19 then took it to the post office! Wtf is going on... Are these people all totally fecking thick! Or am I really expecting to much in this day an age. It's still not here, was supposed to be being picked up and redelivered... The world seems to be getting populated by complete morons.... Rant offer... And breath....

I was just disappointed as I'm looking for star wars t-shirts at the moment. I have 3 so far that are ace.
One is storm troopers raving
Another is 2 storm troopers graffitiing a wall with "dark side"
and the other is a storm trooper on a BMX doing an endo on the top of a skyscraper.

Re: Mr Postman
Frankie parcel force are pretty terrible. Hope your parcel turns up. If they have it at the depot maybe an idea to collect from there.

Re: Mr Postman
This one has done me well at over 3k so no complaints.
My problem is I'm riding too much Obviously that isn't possible though, riding too much could never be a problem
