Owners would you trust this mount on a fork leg with ~1L of water? would be used on level/ hardpacked gravel w rooty sections

I would only use on a round post. If the fork leg is oval like most, it probably won't hold.

The mount would hold but the bottle cage might not hold onto the bottle on hard bumps. I have this issue with bottles mounted to the front of the handlebars. Hard jolts knock the bottle out.

If you have a drop pipe like in the photo you should be fine. If not, you may need to rotate the mount 45 degrees clockwise to lower the hand held. Hope this helps.

This mount will hold a lot of weight but at the cost of a lot of vibration. I would not use it on any moving object such as a vehicle or motorcycle, it picks up a lot of bumps and rattles.

Yes, this mount is very sturdy. Although I'm not sure how smooth the video will be since a dirt bike has knobby tires with a somewhat rough ride. Should be okay though.

That's a great question, and I'm not 100% positive, but I'd doubt it. This is a basic XC fork, so 100mm is sufficient for what it's designed for. You can replace the springs for stiffness, say if you are a heavier rider and/or want less cushion, but as far as extending the travel, again, I would be 99% sure that's not possible. The RockShox Revelation is adjustable, but I think you would need a thru-axle vs. the QR for that fork. But I'm not a mechanic, so you may want to ring your local bike shop to be sure. Just make sure they carry SRAM/RockShox so they know what they're talking about.

I think it is strong enough to be mounted on a bike since the part where you screw in the mount is deep enough to withstand minor bumps while biking

I think the mount would be just fine. You need to replace the bolts with hardware heavy grade bolts because those provided are cheap. Also, the overall biggest factor is the surface you are mounting to. Is it solid and sturdy?

You could but the clamping mechism is a thick rubberband vs. a traditional clamp like you see on many of the higher end brands. I would not recommend mounting it to the fork. There are companies that make handle bar entensions your type of situation.

If this is mounted properly, you should have nothing to worry about. This is a high quality mount. I've never had a problem with this and I have confidently used it with bikes worth up to $6,000.

Has anyone bothered to check how the fork is mounted inside the wooden base? It doesn't look as sturdy as this metoal plate version.

It's a handlebar mount. So if you have 1' handlebars and a little room for clamps you're golden.

I think it would do great. No leaks for me. Or moisture. I've takin my through think trails in oregon and brokem 1 inch brache's with it like they weren't even there.

I would not use it for that purpose. Wheel Fork is only designed to support a wheel not a whole bike. DON'T DO IT.

If you are using it on a bass boat it wouldn't be too bad. I use it on a 14ft vee hull fishing boat and it's tough to deploy and retract. I'm a big guy and it's tough to do. On a bass boat, standing over the mount it might not be too tough. The motor assembly is pretty heavy and takes quite of bit of "oomph" to pull it up.

I had lower brazons and tried to use the u bolts on the front fork of a Marin bike with disc brakes and big tubed fork. I got it to work but not as intended to. At best I could carry light loads, but nothing I would feel safe touring with.

I have one mounted on fat bars on a Felt full suspension bike and the mount is good enough. The Felt model has a funny name like redemption or ridiculous. The piece that holds the spray is not super strong and very sharp bumps to little jumps can cause it to pop out.

The ring to mount is very small. I could not put on handlebars or anywhere else on my racer or touring bike. I just carry with me. It does give me confidence although I will try to out pedal the beasties if possible.
