Review on Arkon Bike Handlebar Phone Mount for iPhone X/8/7/6S Plus, 🚲 Galaxy Note 8/5, S8/S7 – Retail Black: Secure and Convenient Cycling Companion by Paul Hubbard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine, but watch the video and check the correct assembly of the parts!

I ordered this iPhone holder for my bike and at first I thought it didn't fit my iPhone 6. But #1 I didn't watch the video so I didn't know that the lower legs are spring loaded but I found out later so it ended up fitting my phone. #2, the center piece with the brass screw and safety cord was assembled upside down and the brass screw was in the wrong hole so I couldn't install the last piece, the back plate, on the center piece with the brass screw and safety cord (the screw interfered) . Once I figured this out and put the screw in the right place, the unit was able to assemble properly. When I was finally able to install and test it on my bike it worked really well and I'm happy with it. The attachment is very secure and the brass screw actually has a purpose that isn't told - you hand tighten the ring on the swivel as tight as you can. Once you have it where you want it, tighten the brass screw and it will lock the ring in place where you tightened it. Of course, this applies if you don't move it while driving. I will not be returning it and have changed my rating to 4 stars.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • There are some nuances
