Varia Mount?

Thanks for all of the responses, seems like there are some great options out there, I’ll check them out, also good to know that the included Garmin mounts work well.
I also saw a few good looking ones on Etsy.

The idea of having it on the saddle rails looks nice, if you use those can you still use a saddle bag?.

Anyone find a good D shaped mount on Shapeways?

I have the KOM Varia Mount on my D-shaped Ventum NS1 seat post, and it is just OK. The top boa loop slides up and off the mount body, so it looks so-so and does not hold as securely as I would like.

How long is the loop thingy? I’m looking for something for my Cervelo P3 seatpost which is super deep.

I really like the Concentric Cycling mounts I have. Great fit on my non round seatposts, but also really nice for two 27.2 round posts. I also have the Magcad one for a Specialized saddle and it’s good. Both are such a nice step up from the stock Garmin mount.

Thanks for the reminder. I just checked, and they now have a Ventum mount I was waiting for. Ordered.

I used https://neat-components.com/collections/frontpage They make bike-specific mounts, so I was finally able to find one that fits well and looks good on my Felt IA. Very inexpensive for a custom solution, IMHO, and a lot better than my flimsy “homemade” one using a piece of old wetsuit to shim the Garmin mount that came with the Varia.

I went with the Neat Components mount over the Concentric Cycling mount only because I figured shipping to the US would be faster from Denmark than Australia. Less than one week shipping from Denmark to US. I received the Neat Components mount last week. It’s a sold mount with two bolts. It feel much more secure than the standard Garmin mount with the rubber band.
