Saddle Mounts

Saddle Mounts

Saddle mounts provide a clean and secure way to position lights, cameras, and accessories directly behind your saddle. Framesandgear develops both saddle-model-specific versions and universal saddle-rail mounts, giving riders a reliable setup for road, gravel, and time-trial bikes. Additionally, these mounts help keep your rear-facing devices stable, even on rough terrain, so you can ride with consistent visibility and improved equipment placement.

Mount Types

Framesandgear offers two primary types. Each option uses a different installation method and fits different bike setups.

1. Saddle-Specific (Bolt-Mount) Models

These models attach to the underside of the saddle using a fixed bolt spacing. Additionally, the design matches the saddle’s geometry, ensuring a precise and stable fit. They are available for saddles with fixed dimensions where exact measurement matters. For example, the dedicated mount for the Garmin Varia RTL515/516 for certain saddles uses 46 mm bolt-centre spacing.

2. Universal Saddle-Rail Mounts

The rail-based version attaches directly to the saddle rails. Therefore, it works on most standard road and gravel saddles with round or oval rails. Moreover, this type creates a low-profile mounting point that is easy to adjust and straightforward to install. For instance, Framesandgear offers a universal computer mount for the saddle rail in a normal and extended version.

How to Install a Saddle Mount

A. Installation for Bolt-Mount Models

For saddles with specific bolt spacing and dedicated Framesandgear hardware, follow these steps:

1. Identify your saddle’s bolt spacing and check that your Framesandgear model matches those measurements.
   
2. Prepare the underside of the saddle by cleaning off any dust, grease, or debris for secure seating.
   
3. Align the bolt holes with the saddle’s threaded inserts (e.g., 46 mm centre-to-centre) and place the bracket flush under the saddle.
   
4. Fit the mounting bolts included with the kit and tighten gradually, alternating between bolts. Use a torque spec if provided (or tighten firmly but do not overtighten).
   
5. Attach your device (radar, light, camera, or GoPro). Ensure it clicks or locks in place.
   
6. Final check: the bracket stays stable when you ride, and no movement occurs.
   

B. Installation for Universal Saddle-Rail Mounts

For standard saddles with rails and rail-based Framesandgear hardware, use this method:

1. Confirm the saddle has rails (round or oval) that run parallel to the bike frame.
   
2. Wipe down the rail surfaces to remove dirt or residue so the clamp sits securely.
   
3. Open the rail clamp and position it around the saddle rails at the preferred rear location.
   
4. Tighten using the included hardware, ensuring the setup does not rotate or slide.
   
5. Attach your device (bike computer, light, GoPro, etc.). The clamped system now holds the accessory behind the saddle.
   
6. Final check: test ride to ensure everything remains locked, with no shifting or rattling.
