Garmin Bike Radar, O-Ring Seat Post, 010-10644-12

I bought this for a second bike so I don\'t have to keep swapping the mount back and forth. This is the same as the OEM mount that comes with your Garmin radar. It\'s a bit pricey for what you get but as most Garmin things, I don\'t expect any problems with it and it should continue to work great.
Great to promote saver biking, especially for a hearing challenged senior. Some things to be aware of: full charge takes around 6 hours, instructions not really clear about light options and battery life much improved on one of the blinking rather than steady light options.
There has to be a better way than using o-rings to secure a Varia radar light. I frequently have to adjust the light angle during rides because the slightest contact rotates the light off center. I use this because I have not yet found a better alternative.
As advertised
Finally, Garmin has a mount that actually fit my D-shape seat post on my S-Works Roubaux. Previous versions were close, but did not fit, so if I hit a bump in the road, my Varia would usually have to be turned a little to get back into position. In the years I have mounted some Garmin products with their O-rings, they’ve never failed, although I wish their was a more secure system. I change out out the O-rings annually.
This is the same mounts that come with the OEM Varia package. Three inserts, one base and two bands. Ordered this to add to new bike so I only have to swap Varia to whichever bike I ride for the day.
I cannot fathom why this is $28. Garmin should price these at $10. I mean after all its a piece of engineered plastic with a rubber insert and band.Its needed when using the Varia Radar. Have three bikes that I share the Varia with, and didn\'t want to take the mount off each time I changed bikes. It works to hold the radar in tightly, and I never have to worry about the radar being ejected. I use this on my gravel bike, so its pretty solid.
My Varia radar has become an essential piece of safety equipment, and with 4 bikes I routinely ride on the road, I needed more mounts. I’ve tried seat post mounts, but with other things already mounted on the seat post, I was looking for something to mount on a seat stay. The right combination of inserts and bands can be a little tricky, but once you find the correct combination, you’ll have a sturdy place to mount your Varia radar.
