The way the chain stays are on my trike the old fashion mounts don't fit
as the axle is set back about an inch or more. I used one on the seat
quick release, but it interfered with the rare rack and made a racket on
bumps. This new mount looks better and is easy to remove the flag when
transporting in the SUV. And since I am into BLING I like this much better!
