• I added this mount to my Domane SL7 (2020 model) to hold the Garmin. So far it\'s been very good. Fits great and seems sturdy.
• The biggest challenge here is \"will it fit YOUR saddle rails?\" The metal clamp has two grooves which hold tight to the under-saddle rails. But there is no real adjustment available.Most bicycle saddles have rails that are very narrow at the tip of the saddle, and gradually get farther apart towards the back of the saddle.And once the rails make an upward turn along with the bike saddle, they usually spread apart a lot.For my saddle, which is a standard saddle size common on many road bikes, this clamp would only fit in the \'downward\' position. Meaning, it would NOT allow the Garmin radar light to face rearwards; only downwards.So the solution is to get GoPro type extensions to angle the light upwards. I did this, like another reviewer, and it\'s not ideal. You can see the black extension arm in my photo. Without this extension, the Varia light would be angled down at my rear wheel :(The other negative on this is that the white part you see in the product photo is like a 3D printed plastic piece. It\'s very hard plastic. It\'s like the standard GoPro adapter (3 on one side and 2 on the other) When you push it in to the metal adapter for the first time, it is a VERY tight fit, and the metal actually CUTS the white plastic pieces. I was left with plastic shavings on the floor!After a few times of shoving it in, it wasn\'t so tight, which could be a good thing, depending on your preferences.If they made the clamp fit a wider range of saddle rails, and accounted for the fact that most saddle rails spread apart (are angled) and not perfectly straight, this would be a fantastic product.Also, don\'t forget you can simply NOT use the Garmin twist lock adapter, which renders this clamp a basic saddle/seat rail GoPro mount that could be used for a camera or something.-----Update after 1 YEAR:I uploaded a photo. On the left is the clamp under my saddle. On the right is the GoPro type adapter (yellowed-white plastic is showing its age and use). The middle is an extension bar I got, which allowed me to angle the Garmin Varia properly. With my saddle, this particular product did not work out of the box with that extension.The plastic \'gopro\' type adapter continued to get loose over time. Every large bump would mean it slipped, causing the radar light to angle down at least 20° Not good.My solution was to use spray adhesive on the two halves of the GoPro adapter piece. This has held up now over a few hundred miles. It\'s not a fully permanent bond, so I could remove it if needed.My immediate family now all have varia lights, so I\'ll be getting more of these adapters, but I know, going into it, that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution, so depending on my kids\' bike saddles, this specific adapter may or may not work. And/or I\'ll need extension bars to get the light angled level again.If the manufacturer came out with a new version that had multiple rail slots and fit various saddles, it would be perfect. (Oh, and upgraded the plastic used in the GoPro adapter pieces. The plastic is too \'slippery\' which means you have to crank down hard on the screw, which strips off some plastic, which means you have to use spray adhesive like I did! :)
• I have a fizik Antares 00 saddle and this mount does not fit as pictured in the sales listing but does fit on the bottom rails and seems to work fine. It’s very stable and if it doesn’t break or lose a screw, looks like it is a good product. The bars very slightly bent with not much torque and aren’t an exact flush fit to my carbon rails but I think good enough…
• I have a seat post mount already but when I put my bike rack on with my tent it covered the Varia making it inoperable. I installed the saddle mount on my bike touring rack without having to make any adjustments, it fit perfectly. I leave the one on my seat post and the one on my rack, saving time when packing for a tour GREAT PRODUCT and price.
• I like everything about this product with one exception- there is no way to mount a saddle bag once you place the product in its correct location. I have tried and tried and without any extra features, a saddle bag simply won’t fit.
• First off, this is not a foolproof product. The tolerances between the parts are very close because of that it takes a little effort to put the two parts together. You should do this by laying the part that clamps to the seat down on a table and hold it in place while you line up and push the other part into position. I broke the first one I got because I tried to assemble it on the bike and the parts moved and broke. It was replaced quickly, hence the great customer service comment to start. I now have two because the mounts work great.I tend to be cautious when clamping things down on my bicycle so rather than torque I use locktite to make sure things stay put. If you don\'t have a torque wrench and you\'re riding a carbon fiber bike you might want to get one.Anyway, the mount works great and look at some of the pictures others have posted to see what size saddle bag works with this set up. For me, that\'s the right size bag anyway - I don\'t need a bug out bag hanging under my seat. Come to think of it, it might be a good idea for these guys to offer a combination of the right size bag along with this clamp.If you\'re still reading - be careful out there and if you don\'t mind a bit of advice... When you\'re riding into the sun, remember cars can\'t see you at all from behind or in front. If you\'re riding into the sun and someone is coming toward you and in their left turn lane, just stop and let them turn and if they\'re coming up behind you on a two lane road with no bike lane get off the road to let them pass. Doing those two things is why I\'m here to write this. Also, when you know someone is coming up behind you it pays to wobble the bike a bit so they don\'t think they can buzz you for fun. Looking pro and holding your line perfectly isn\'t always the best but move over as they approach. Happy New Year!
