What do people recomend to increase handlebar realestate?
Something to take the horn, speedo, lights and any other
junk off the bars. Drops in this case. Thanks.

I mounted my speedometer to the top of my stem, between my
clip-on aerobars.

There's a product called the Minoura Space Bar that ought to
work for you.

How did you mount it on the stem? I was thinking about
mounting my GPS on the stem but I'm [censored] at DIY...

It appears to have been replaced by the SwingGrip-2:

I've seen two of these clamped together for extra additional
real estate. Some of my recumbent-riding friends have bad
cases of technophilia: multiple computers, heart-rate
monitor, GPS, FM & two-way radios, lights, camera, horn,
extra water bottles, etc., etc. And they wonder why they're
slow up hills...

I zip-tied it's bracket to the handlebar on each side of the
stem with two criss-crossing zip-ties. Depending on how
everything fits, you could do it with adhesive velcro;
certainly if you're not afraid to modify the speedometer's
bracket, you can do it with velcro.

I intend to change this speedometer out for a Cateye Astrale
soon; the Cateye's mount plate is separable from it's
handlebar bracket, so that will be an easy one.

With all that fun stuff, why care how long it takes to get
up a hill?

'Cause the fun part's heading downhill and making whuppa-whuppa-
whuppa noises with your cheeks.
