Description of 📱 Universal Phone Adapter for Garmin Bike Mount - Compatible with Garmin Phone Mount Adhesive Adapter - Attach Your Smartphone Easily

YOUR SMARTPHONE - ANY GARMIN MOUNT: By utilizing the same quarter turn system as the Garmin Edge series it allows you to mount your smartphone to any Garmin Edge mount. This creates a simple Garmin Phone Mount 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 for our garmin cell phone mount. 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 iphone 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.

Needs better adhesion to work.

It's a good concept but it doesn't live up to its potential. The tape keeps the adapter perfectly on the phone except where it's really needed. Pulling straight up on a phone mounted in a quarter turn mount is nice and firm and undoubtedly strong enough to keep the phone from detaching from the adapter and mount. Now it fails miserably when rotating the phone to remove it from the holder. Double-sided tape cannot withstand twisting force. The phone carefully detaches from the adapter and the…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Would buy again. Best Accessory

EDIT: Almost a year now and ordering a new one for a new phone case. It has held up amazingly well and is still holding up with no sign of failure. Don't try to stick the tape on rubber or silicone and you'll be fine. I ordered a rubber coated housing, made sure it was sanded and clean, then attached the PTO adapter. Works great, strong adhesive doesn't go anywhere, fits snugly in front Garmin Out mount. I've missed a few rides (only road so far) and it's holding up. I connected my phone to a…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not sure

does not hold; Don't waste your money

I love the com bike mount for my Garmin Edge Explore, but the adhesive universal phone adapter doesn't hold up. I tried three in two months and they all used different "flat" back cases for my iPhone X. Today my phone fell off the sticky back while driving over a wooden bridge on a train path. The vibration was too strong, my iPhone hit the ground at 32 km/h. Without my LifeProof case, my phone would have broken. The LifeProof case is slightly dented. I blame this mountain. The other two Kom…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Better than expected

Even better than expected - lightweight, secure and easy to install. I have one to attach my iPhone Xs to a pole (in landscape mode) for use in Zwift. It can even support the iPad mini (in stationary mode) with ease. It fits comfortably in your hand and easily fits in a bag without a hook. I think most of the negative reviews here are due to my own negligence. I clipped mine to a cheap iPhone case so I can easily swap out for workouts. First, you MUST be practical about the material and finish…

Pros
  • Educational
Cons
  • Crumpled

Incredible block and glue. IF USED CORRECTLY!

It is almost impossible to remove the tape once it is properly applied. (Which is great.) After a mountain bike accident that broke my old phone, I wanted to fit this mount to a "newer one". It took a lot of effort and patience to remove it from the phone cover. I read reviews where users complained about the sticking. Having worked with tapes and adhesives throughout my career, I've learned that preparation is everything. Follow a few simple steps and this block will never come off…

Solution for Zwift Companion

I use my road bike on my Wahoo trainer and need a solution to mount my phone on my bike. I wanted to use the Zwift Companion App (iOS App) to control the Zwift Virtual Learning App from my phone during the workout. My bike already has a Garmin mount for my Garmin Edge 830. My phone is an iPhone 11 Pro Max. After reading reviews about the KOM adapter I decided to buy a new iPhone case with a plastic back panel , so that the 3M adhesive sticks properly. I bought a Humixx shockproof case…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Not sure

Very Happy - Cradle

Works very well and is reliable but there are a few steps you need to take to ensure you enjoy this product. The first thing I bought was a TORRAS Slim Fit hard plastic phone case. It provides a smooth and durable surface for the adapter to attach to. Second, I had to make sure my phone released the steering wheel when rotated to release. I also wanted to make sure my phone was facing straight when it was locked. Since you only get one chance to attach the adapter to your phone case, a little…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
