I’m using the Garmin mount adaptor on my Karoo 2.

This adapator does not provide a positive engagement into my K edge bar mount. This mount was fine with my Garmin Edge 830. I’m concerned that the Karoo 2 May fall off mid ride as the engagement is not tight.

Has anyone else encountered the same problem?

  I've seen people put an O-ring on the quarter-turn adapter to tighten up the engagement. 22mm x 1.5mm or 7/8" x 1/16", whichever you can find.

  This is an interesting solution from one of the community members: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/1260801368729-Wobbly-Quarter-turn-Adapter-

  We are working on an improved bracket design and material in use, which will be available for replacement in the next 1-2 months.

  Could you please provide a correct STL-file so that we can print the garmin-mount ourselves?

  Agreed with sigeb. The 3D geometry would be really nice to have. I have an integrated (and proprietary) computer mount on my Venge that will require me to print out a custom mount to fit the Karoo 2. Obviously Hammerhead can't guarantee the structure of any printed mount, but I'd much rather run the native Karoo mount instead of the garmin adapter.

  Interesting that an improved bracket design would be available in 1-2 months 4 months ago!

  Is there any progress on a v2 adapter? I have been using the new hammerhead mount (which is ok, some downsides, not at all convinced a proprietary solution was needed) but have a new TT bike which needs the garmin Mount. The adaptor is rattly and generally pretty low quality. When will a better alternative be available please.
