Mounting ut800 on out front mount ( edge 1030)

Hi everyone,

I just received a ut800 light that came with a universal mount(varia). I was able to mount the light and my edge 1030 on one of my bike. What I want to do now it to mount the ut800 on my other bike wich is equipped with the extended out front mount (see pictures). I know I could buy an out front mount (varia) but since I already have 3 out front mounts, it was cheaper to check if an adapter of some sort exits to do the job. Talking to garmin a few weeks ago, I was told that this quarter-turn to friction flange mount adapter (https://buy.garmin.com/en-CA/CA/p/552900) would do the job. Honestly, I can't figure out how this would work. This adapter seems to only be the part that attaches to the lamp itself. What I need is an adapter to convert my out front mount so it can accept the ut800.

Is someone aware of some kind of adapter that would modify my out front mount so I could fit my ut800 on all my bikes ?

Thank you

yes, one side (gopro mount) goes to light and the other side (quarter turn) to garmin mount.

Hello Randy, the mount on the picture is not the same mount. This one is the out front mount varia witch is specifically designed to fit an Edge computer and a varia lamp. The mount that comes with an edge 1030 does not have the male part that would receive the lamp.

Just put on the original mount that comes with the ut800, not the Edge. That's the mount that posted Randy. I use the same and its very sturdy with both my edge 830 + the ut800

I know that the mount shown is going to work perfectly! I have one installed on one of my bikes. My post was about a way to modify an out front mount like the one shown in my post with an adapter sold by garmin or someone else. I would like to be able to use my lamp on all my 3 bikes without replacing the mounts that are already installed. If an adapter exists, i would be able to add this adapter to the existing mounts I already have.

I was referring to the pictures you shared. Well, if you have the older one without the bottom part then there are some adapters but I don't know if these will fit to the garmin mount...

Hi Randy, I was in touch with Garmin and they said they don't have this kind of adapter. I have 4 mounts for my Edge ( 4 bikes, Gravel, Fatbike, Road bike for traveling and road bike for training) , The last mount I bought is the out front mount Varia wich is specifically designed to received an Edge and the lamp, the three other mounts are the flush out front mount ( like the pictures i posted) wich are designed to received the Garmin power pack and an Edge, all bought last year. Since the bottom part of these mounts can be removed by unscrewing the bolts, I tought that Garmin would sell an adapter to replace the part for the power pack by the part for the lamp. It seems no is the answer. This is the mount I have https://buy.garmin.com/en-CA/CA/p/pn/010-12562-00 with the power pack mounted . The connecting part to the power pack of this mount is not the same as the one to connect the lamp. Replacing it with the proper adapter would be perfect, but looks like it doesn't exist. Thanks for your help. Have a nice day

I have the same problem. I cannot use the mounting bracket provided with the light UT800 on my Bianchi Oltre XR4 because the handlebar is flat. I have a front mounted bracket to have the edge but cannot install the light under it. I have called Garmin and the only solution they offered was to buy the kit on the helmet which I really don’t like for road bike. Any idea?

Something like this? www.racewaredirect.co/.../

That could be an option. Only inconvenient is that you need to unscrew the light every time you want to change bike or take it in for charging. I would love to be able to use the quick disconnect that comes with the light.

well, then there is an easy solution - replace your stem and handlebars :D
