Review on 🚲 RAM Mounts Handlebar U-Bolt Double Ball Mount RAM-B-149ZU: Medium Arm for Rails .5" to 1.25" - Efficient & Secure Bike Handlebar Mount by Brett Jarvis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nearly perfect. in GPS, finders and accessories

Overall a great mount when installed properly. I used it in combination with the RAM Quick-Grip XL phone holder on my PEV on the weekends to hold the Note 9 in the Unicorn Beetle Pro Supcase. They don't sell the Quick-Grip XL phone holder so I had to buy it separately. Just like my poor body, it passed the urban pothole test in my metropolitan New Jersey at 20 mph. This is by far the best phone mount I've ever used, but it's far from perfect. I've only had two issues with this mount since I've used it and one more, to my dismay, the Quick-Grip XL phone holder. At first the bracket moved when I accidentally drove over a pothole, but this was later corrected by tightening the nuts even more. Since then he has never moved. je. My only issue is more of a design issue where the nuts holding the U-bar that attaches to the handlebars are too close to the mounting stem making installation or micro-adjustment a bit awkward and can result in the paint stripping and rounding off the nuts corners. It was nice to see that the peanut-shaped handle was made from a stronger die-cast metal material rather than plastic.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Nothing here
