Quality

This does seem to be well made and sturdy - that’s why i gave 5 stars

To prevent lateral movement after installation, i found it helpful to firmly press and hold the quarter-turn mount against the ... Read More

Once i identified this, i was frustrated as it wouldn't work and i began refund steps.

There is no perfect solution other than if they sent rubber pieces like what garmin mounts have.

Price

Pass on this one, and save your $40 towards nice parts worth the expense, this one isn’t.

I definitely would not spend $40 on this though, and to have it listed for that is pretty insane…

Price is also a little steep, but i get there's a probably a royalty on the closure system.

Price is high but safety is important

Shipping

Before sending, i reached out to kom seller and he quickly responded to my msg and sent a prototype to accommodate my seatpost.

Update:the kom team responded to my request and sent my a custom piece that worked well.

Packaging/appearance

I was shocked, and looked in the packing twice thinking i must’ve missed it.

Once it arrived, the insert (similar to original garmin mount) was for an oval or round shaped seatpost.

Competitiveness

Very easy to install, the boa straps are better than the garmin rubber strap in that it is stronger and won't break.

I have used the stock mount to bounce between 3 bikes and hard mounted cnc mounts to 4 others.

This is no better, in fact i would suggest the garmin mount is more stable and adaptable.

It’s much much better than the garmin mount, which itself would be fine were it not for its reliance on rubber bands.
