Magene Radar Tail light - seat post quarter mount

[mecheng89]

Good morning, Hubbers.

Being the cheapskate I am, I opted for the Magene radar tail light instead of the tried and tested and readily available Garmin Varia. 

I detached my Magene supplied quarter turn seat post mount and promptly misplaced it. I then thought the Garmin and Magene seat post mounts would be the same, but just my luck (insert rage meme), they are not (the design of the tail light quarter turn tabs are different, 90 degrees apart).

So, any advice where to get hold of the correct seat post mount? I contacted Senbono, the official distributor of the Magene product, and even they don't know when they will get stock of seat post mounts. I see a brand called KOM Cycling make a seat post mount for this radar and other products, very interesting concept. 

I've spotted another design that attaches to the rails of your saddle, but these things are going for R1000 in the Classifieds, which I think is rather steep..

Thanks all.

Ask one of these guys to print you one, look on Thinyverse.

I may be incorrect but Wahoo uses the same 90 degree turn. You can purchase a wahoo to garmin adapter and perhaps that will work.

This one looks like it may have adjustable orientation.

You reckon this one? I see the orientation isn't exactly 90 degrees, why would that be?

This works for both, can be turned in 90 deg. steps. But not the other options

The Giant seatpost is aero-like, so it tapers somewhat, and it's difficult to tell from the picture whether the supplied wedge will keep the light in place.

I see they do offer a saddle rail mount one too, but it seems instead of 2 pieces of metal clamping the bracket in place, they cheap out and supply cable ties which holds the bracket to the saddle rails. I suppose if you tighten enough it should do.,

Loosen the two screws on the Garmin mount.
Turn correct as required.  Drill two new holes.
Tighten again

That's the kit we did for the garmin but if I understand you correctly the clip-in mount is 90 degrees offset to the garmin spec.
