Review on Garmin Varia RCT715 Bike Radar With Camera & Tail Light - Ride-Recording, Incident Capture, & Audible Alerts - Power Bundle With PlayBetter Portable Charger & Mounting Kit - Visible Up To 1 Mile by Michael Harden

Essential, but issues in mounting

I have been using these radars for several years now, and I believe they are essential for those riding on public roads. One thing missing, however, is mounting flexibility. Garmin presumes that all riders have 10-12 inches of exposed seat post. Unfortunately, those with classic diamond frames, or a saddle bag, or touring bags, lack this. It needs a seat stay mount. I have tried using the pieces included, but sadly, they do not work well except on the seat post.
