KOM Cycling Edge Universal Phone Adapter Attach Your Smartphone to Any Bike Mount - Quarter Turn Phone Mount Adhesive Adapter

EDIT: Almost a year now and ordering a new one for the new phone case. It held up amazingly well and is still holding strong with no sign of failure. Don't try to stick the tape to a rubberized finish or silicone and you'll be good The case I ordered had a kind of rubberized coating, made sure that was sanded down and clean then attached the KOM adapter. Works perfectly, strong adhesive isn't going anywhere, firm fit in the Garmin Out front mount. Been out for a few rides (road only so far) and it holds. Paired my phone with a Wahoo speed and Cadence sensor, out front mount with phone up top and Garmin Virb under. Perfect setup for me. A well made phone case and a little common sense when using this adapter and you'll be good. Keep in mind it's a strong adhesive but not many adhesives like rubberized coating or silicone.

Nearly impossible to pull the tape off if properly applied. (Which is great.) After a mountain biking accident that broke my old phone, I wanted to apply this mount to a 'newer' one. It took some work and patience to pull it off of my phone cover. I'd read some reviews where users complained about the adhesion. Having worked with tapes and adhesives in my career I understood that prep is everything. Follow a few simple steps, and this unit will never accidentally come off. -Make sure the surface is smooth and clean. I was originally applying to an old textured phone case, so I sanded it smooth where I was going to apply the mount. This should only be necessary if what you're mounting to is really textured, with grooves, etc that won't allow enough surface contact. I cleaned with soap and water, then wiped with an alcohol pad to make sure it was 100% clean and dry. -Apply the mount and firmly press in place to remove any bubbles. -Wait 24 hours before using. Most people overlook this step. Adhesives (and tapes) need some time to set-up and cure before you apply a load to them. This may all sound like a bit of overkill, but even when my phone broke and snapped off my other mount, this one was undamaged and never even loosened. It worked exactly as expected.

I've used this mount for several years. I use it on my bike from time to time, but I mostly use if for mounting my phone to a Celestron tripod adapter, for still and astrophotography. All that was necessary was to drill through the center of the mount and tap it for the adapter threads. Works great. Tip on transferring it to another phone case - they don't sell replacement adhesive pads, and the 3M pad that comes with it is OK, but as others have noted it requires a smooth surface to attach to, and some care in the surface preparation. I bought a roll of 1" Gorilla Tape double-sided padded tape from the local Ace Hardware. Easy to cut to fit the mount, and it's a way better adhesive than the 3M. Works on textured cases without sanding. I take a 3 lb dumbbell and apply pressure to the mount for 24 hr before using. Your case will break before the adhesive fails. Only caveat is that it's so good at holding, it can be very difficult to remove when moving to another case.

Even better than expected - light, secure, and easy to install. I got one to mount my iPhone Xs to my stem (in landscape mode) to use for Zwift. It could easily support even an iPad mini (while stationary). It’s comfortable while in-hand and easily fits into your pocket without snags. I think most of the negative reviews on here are due to their own negligence. I mounted mine to a cheap iPhone case, so I can easily swap them on and off for workouts. First, you HAVE to be practical about the material and finish of the case you wish to stick it to - I chose a cheap matte plastic one. Just like with tape, it just won’t stick to some materials. Second, you MUST properly prepare the case before installing. Ensure that it is clean and free from dust, oil, etc., and thoroughly wipe down the area you wish to stick it to with an alcohol swab. Last, evenly apply sufficient pressure to fully adhere. My only gripes are that it should be cheaper, and it could be made even more low profile. All-in, about $18. This will be my go-to in the future.

This is high quality and very sturdy. The weak link for this is the disc mount, which breaks easily on really bumpy rides.

It works extremely well and is very secure, but there are several steps one must take to make sure one has a happy experience with this product. First of all I bought a TORRAS Slim Fit Hard Plastic Phone Cover Case. It provides a smooth and sturdy surface to which attach the adapter. Second I had to make sure that my phone clears the handlebar when it is turned to release. I also wanted to make sure that my phone is pointing straight when it is locked into position. Since you only have one chance to attach the adapter to phone case, little preparation helps. I made a template out of cardboard that has the same width as my phone case. The template a hole in a middle for attaching the adapter. The template can be attached to the phone case with a couple of rubber bands or zip ties. The critical point is that the template protrude from the bottom of phone case by a distance equal to a distance from the axis of rotation to the lower corner of the case minus the distance from the axis of rotation to the lower edge of the case, plus few millimeters (1/4 inch) for extra clearance. Once the template is attached to the phone case, lock adapter into Garmin bracket and remove adhesive cover. Attach phone case to the adhesive tape making sure that the bottom of template is flush with handlebar. I then tightened a c-clamp making sure it is centered on Garmin bracket and left it overnight. It works like a charm now.

very strong

Love the Kom bike mount for my Garmin Edge Explore, but the adhesive stick-on Universal Phone Adapter doesn’t stick. I have gone through three in two months, all using different “flat” back cases for my iPhone X. Today, my phone fell off the sticky back while I rode across a wooden bridge on a rail trail. The vibration was too much, my iPhone fell to the ground at 20mph. If not for my LifeProof case my phone would be wrecked. The LifeProof case is a little mangled. I blame this mount. The other two Kom adhesive mounts I used fell off while I was not riding, just weak. The plate itself is great. I’d recommend ditching the adhesive and adding a silicone rubber band to this Kom plate. Also, this mount negates wireless charging, hence why my recommendation that a silicone rubber band added to this mount would be better. I’d be happy to test that if created.

super

Basta incollare l'adattatore ad una cover dedicata solo per la bicicletta. Prima di partire si cambia cover, si aggancia a mezzo di attacco garmin e si parte. Robusto e super pratico

Utilisé depuis quelques semaines sur mon vélo de route au dos d'une coque silicone pour mon portable, ça fonctionne très très bien ! Bientôt en VTT on le mettra un peu plus à l'épreuve des vibrations mais ça colle très fort à la mise en place, j'ai pas trop de doute. Fixé sur adaptateur Garmin pour bouchon de pivot de fourche sur mes deux vélos

Love it.

Looked a long time for something like this. I bought an inexpensive phone case (which haa a solid back, it will not work well if it's rubber and likely will not work at all if it's silicone), peeled the adhesive off and pressed it centered on the back of the case. It really holds solid, no problem holding the phone on for indoor training or outdoor rides...strongly recommend ( price seems to fluctuate wildly, don't pay too much).
