KB-00010 - Horizontal Radar Mounting
Horizontal Radar Mounting KB-00010 2026-08-25 A question we sometimes get is how well a radar operates in a horizontal position. The manufacturer will tell you to mount it upright if you ask them.

Garmin Arm Upgrade Program KB-00009 2022-07-05 THIS UPGRADE PROGRAM ENDED 2/1/2023 Issue:Certain Garmin quarter-turn inserts may crack or break entirely causing the attached Garmin device to become loose or detached from the mount. The quarter-turn insert is the plastic part that the Garmin device clips into. Information:Due to the way a Garmin Varia loads the quarter-turn insert, these inserts may fracture over time depending on the bike, riding conditions, and other environmental factors.
