Varia Aero Seat Post Mount - Alternatives?

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi all,
I'm really enjoying my Varia radar unit, but I'm super frustrated with the post mount.
I ride a BMC TMR01 and the mount will move over bumps or if brushed even slightly with a leg.
Does anyone have any alternatives mounts or solutions? I'd love to stop worrying about which way the unit is pointing!

You probably saw this?

If this doesn't work, is there any other machining/modification you or I could do to either of the mounts?

While BPVH's solution is a creative one for his bike setup, it's unlikely that DIGITAL_STEVE has a rack on his BMC TMR01.

Yep, probably not. The first thing that jumped out at me was to cut the puck down as I did. Then make a wedge-shaped spacer to fit behind the two seat rails who's rear-facing surface is vertical. Finally, make a wedged-shaped clamp to go in front of the seat rails who's front face is vertical. Drill both wedges to align with the pucks' two existing threaded holes and use long 4-40 machine screws to clamp everything to the seat rails. Make everything out of Aluminum and paint everything black.
