What's an Aero Stem Without an Aero Mount?
The Silca Chisela (ENVE Aero Computer Mount) is a cutting edge aerodynamic and lightweight mount; 3D Printed in Titanium and compatible with all Garmin and Wahoo computers (except Bolt v1). The T-Tray mounting system makes for a removable mount for lights, cameras, and more!
Leveraging cutting edge aerodynamic development, 3D printing, and state of the art ceramic coatings, the Chisela computer mount was born. The Chisela is aerodynamically optimized for the cleanest possible airflow under both the Wahoo and Garmin computers and features a unique 'T-Tray' mounting system inspired by the T shaped underfloor of an F1 car. This T-Tray mounting system allows for quick-release style attachment of lights or cameras underneath the mount, just slide and click to mount and then pull on the lever and slide off to dismount.
Best of all, the T-Tray system adds virtually no additional weight and has no aerodynamic penalty, while also locating the light or camera aft of the computer for improved weight distribution, aerodynamics, and appearance.

Reviews
I had the Enve/K-Edge single piece computer mount but when I got the Garmin Edge 1050 it wouldn't fit. This Silca titanium mount fit well and was 9 grams lighter (including the bolts, puck, and the light mount - 36g vs 45g). Plenty of space for the 1050. Two annoyances: 1) this is Enve's fault but to change the computer mount you have to completely remove the top front clamp because the computer mount bolt doesn't have clearance. This means you need to mark exactly how your handlebars were set up, fully remove the piece, then remove and replace bike mount, torque it (I did 5nm), then reattach and set up handlebars again then torque the top front bolt and the two front bottom bolts. This was helpful for the sequence and the torques to use: https://youtu.be/jTVowwKnNKs?si=MyntB8diG-SHrS5U
So, what should be a five minute job adjusting one one bolt is more like a 30 minute job.
2) the Garmin 'puck' that comes with the Chisela only works to turn in one direction. I am pretty used to being able to quarter turn in either direction to release. This is Silca's choice and they'll probably say it's more secure or break resistant but it's different from every other Garmin mount I've used.
The light mount works well and has a really nice threaded end to receive the bolt which gives me confidence this will last and not get stripped.
One odd thing - the K-Edge bolt had a metal washer whereas this doesn't include one. If I get rattling I'll transplant the washer.
At this price, I should be able to put my Garmin in and not have it rattle around. The mount is good enough---it is easy to install and holds the computer securely---however, it does not hold it tight enough to prevent rattling, which is very annoying.
