I got learned something new today :D

While messing with DT's Garmin 530, I twisted it into my wahoo mount. It worked! Well kinda.

Looking at the KOM wahoo mount - and the garmin mount...
they look oddly the same.

While the garmin mount didn't have any way to rotate the base, the KOM/Wahoo mount did.

So no need to get crazy buying all new mounts if i switch teams!

Maybe knowing the two bases are the same, just rotated might help ya out (ie stem cap mount)
Enjoy - i know this was riveting.

I’m more interested in knowing what you were doing with Donald Trump’s 530...and did he give it to you pre or post diagnosis?

Don't piss off the red guy
As far as I know there are 4 brands that have very similar mounts. In addition to Garmin and Wahoo there are Bryton and Hammerhead.

A Garmin will fit a Wahoo, But a Wahoo won't fit a Garmin. You can make it work by trimming a sliver off the Garmin mount, then tip in the Wahoo on one end, and the other through the large opening. Adapted a few of the cheapo, band mounts to Wahoo for stem use.

This - has always been the case. When I first got a wahoo I just took an exacto knife to a Garmin mount. Easy

Update - i purchased the wrong insert for my KOM mount - got the garmin insert.
the wahoo does not fit tightly enough to keep from working loose.
new insert coming.
