  • If you don't want to shell out for a dedicated Garmin or other advanced cycling computer, your smartphone can be a great alternative. The question is, can you really go mountain biking with one on your handlebars? To find out, we test these phone mounts on a hardtail and subject them to some pretty hard hits.

    In the same order as the video, here are the mounts we tested with links
    Silica Rubber Mount amzn.to/31k2sc2
    This one could be great for road or gravel, but for rough mountain biking it's going to move around.
    VUP Detachable amzn.to/2Vta34l
    Road cycling only. This one can't get tightened enough to work for mountain biking without creeping towards the more narrow part of your handlebar.
    GUB metal phone mount amzn.to/2Vp4CDx
    Very secure, but potentially hazardous. For a motorcycle this seems good since it sticks out far enough to clear the instrument cluster, but on a bike this seems needlessly dangerous.
    Quad Lock Out Front Bike Mount amzn.to/2VqfCAq
    Quad Lock case for iPhone 11 Pro amzn.to/2ZgNH71
    Functionally, this product is as flawless as it gets, but it'll cost you dearly. Another downside is the fact that you need to change your phone case to use it, and not all cases are available. Choose from a variety of mounts.

    For those of you considering the Silico:
    I used mine on a regular road bike for a 3 hr ride on mostly good pavement.
    the phone would keep "drop" down so it faced down due to the weight of it, so I tightened the gripper on it.
    This time, it would stick- but after the ride was finished, it bent my phone over time due to the pressure required to keep it mounted straight.
    Big avoid, unless you want a banana phone for your Neo from the Matrix cosplay.

    I watched your test and thought about how much my phone creeps and then flips when it gets to the thinnest part of the bar. I came up with the simplest solution and it worked perfectly today. I have the mount touching the stem and a few layers of electrical tape on the other side so it cannot slide. If I wanted it elsewhere I would put the electrical tape on both sides and no more slide/creep.
    Keep up the amazing work!

    What a timely video. Our oldest son will be going out to college in 2 weeks at the foothills of the Appalachians and I hope he gets more into bking. I was looking for a device like this for him. I bought a generic top tube bag which has a clear top so he can see the phone and the bag itself can hold his bicycle lock and chain. I think for safety reasons, the bar mount ones are more ideal since he doesn't need to look straight down. I admire your character to channel your energy into positive, helpful things for strangers. It speaks of your nature and nurture and I strive for this. There are many howto videos but I gravitate towards yours because of your wholesome approach. Take care.

    Not a silly video at all. The reason I watched this video is because I literally just had my iphone drop out of my handlebar phone holder in the middle of a 1.6 mile single track, decently used trail where I didn't notice until I got to the end of the trail. I then had to walk back through half of the trail where luckily I came across another rider who noticed my phone, picked it up, & gave it back to me. Thankfully there are still some honest people out there! What then freaked me out was that my phone was on, not locked, because I had it on a bike app mapping my ride. And if you are like a lot of people out there, including me, you have a lot of sensitive data on your phone. So the person who picked up my phone had access to all that. Needless to say that phone holder is now only used on the road. That holder was like the one you showed that stretches around the corners, So this video was completely needed! Thanks.

    Thank you for the review Seth! I'm interested in one of them Gubs for my 90s trek rigid that I have turned into a touring bike with road tires, and it sounds like just the thing. I have found that for trails, there are some top tube bags with waterproof phone pouches that are fine if you don't need to push buttons much and are way less likely to trash your phone when you endo

    They sell a universal mount that attaches to any case using an adhesive tape. I've been across Australia 3 times using this configuration on my motorbike with no problem. It is so strong you can lift a house with it.

      I was looking to see that some one else pointed out that you can get a universal adhesive adapter. Uses quality 3M tape just like on your gopro mounts. I have the wireless car, desk and motorcycle charger. I have a desk mount, car mount and also a mount on each of my 4 bikes and on my motorcycle. It's been great.
      Though the case is not as protective as I prefer a phone case to be, it is as good if not better than most of the minimalist ones on the market.

    I really enjoy these style of videos where you compare several items in the same category. I was planning on getting the Quadlock, but they didn't make a case for my phone and I didn't trust the "stick this to the back of your case" pop-socket like attachment that they offer when they don't make a case specifically for your phone. I've had the GUB on my commuter/touring bike for a couple years now. Thing is rock solid and cheap. I've never had an issue with it over a few thousand miles of roads, curb hops, and rail trails. Pretty sure it is sold under a few other brand names and claw sizes for slim or fat phones with cases too.
