Description of KOM Cycling Universal Phone Adapter: Seamlessly πŸ“± Attach Your Smartphone to Any Garmin Bike Mount

YOUR SMARTPHONE - ANY WAHOO MOUNT: By utilizing the same quarter turn system as the Wahoo Elemnt series it allows you to mount your smartphone to any Wahoo mount. This creates a simple and affordable way for you to attach your smartphone to your bikes handlebar. Now all of your favorite cycling apps can be readily visable on your handlebar. STRONG & SECURE: In development, we went with "no compromise" approach to ensure maximum strength of the unit. From our testing we found that 3M's patented VHB adhesive was by far the best option on the market. Testing from independent labs verified this when they showed that it takes a max pull force of 27.5 KGF to remove the adhesive from the unit. SLEEK PROFILE: Traditional handlebar mounts for your smartphone are typically heavy and outright ugly. The Universal Phone Adapter offers a strong design while only weighing 7 grams and adding 6 mm in height to your smartphone. Now you can show up to your local group ride with out fear of getting mocked for having a bulky phone setup on your handlebar. Show up with style and class at your next group ride. SIMPLY RAD: Our smartphones have reshaped our daily lifes, why not let them help revolutionize our cycling experience? By utilizing cycling specific training apps for outdoor and indoor training such as Strava, Zwift, and TrainerRoad we can use data to take our training and racing to a whole new level. Give your fellow Zwift mate a ride on, smash that TrainerRoad interval, and most importantly go take your local KOM.

Does what I ask of it

Works great for my needs. I've used it on my Zwift and Trainer Road rides and it's holding up great. The adhesive is strong and has held up for a few weeks since I've had it. I don't need it outside, so I can't judge the far from perfect asphalt.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Nothing here

Absolutely, a great investment for me!

I cut out the back of the Otterbox and attached the bracket directly to the back of the Samsung phone. The mount has been on rough country roads (500+ miles), MTB trails (120+ miles) and also in my bag (30 days). This is an extremely durable product. And now when I drive, I have access to all my driving apps at the same time.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No paint required

Dispersed and led to a broken phone.

I loved this adapter until it fell apart and dropped my phone on the road, cracked the screen etc. It lasted well for about 150 miles until the double sided tape came off the plastic adapter while driving on the flat road. There doesn't seem to be much plastic from the adapter making contact with the tape (the strip stuck to my case with no issues). Great idea but bad design. Would buy a V2 model if updated. I'm just glad the phone didn't fall into my front wheel on a sharp bend or downhill.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Legacy model

Fits perfectly with my phone case

I use it to mount my Moto G4 on a touring bike handlebar with the KOM handlebar mount. I attached this part to the Incipio protective case that I use for the Moto G4. The Incipio case has a rubber coating on a smooth plastic base. I used a knife to scrape off the rubber cover where I was going to glue this adapter. The rubber coating had worn away from the sides of the case and I wanted the adapter to stick directly to the main plastic of the case. Anyway, scraping off the rubber coating was…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Useless functions
