Are you looking for a secure and sturdy phone mount that will enable you to use your phone for navigation during your bicycle tours? After over six years of cycling adventures with Quad Lock<\/a>, this little phone mount is one of the most reliable cycling accessories I’ve ever had. I’ve written this review to help you decide if Quad Lock is the right companion for your bicycle tours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am terrible at navigating and remembering directions. When I first started cycling, I had to stop every few minutes to take my phone out of my pocket and check the map. This was deeply frustrating and quite dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zacz\u0119\u0142am wi\u0119c szuka\u0107 uchwytu rowerowego na telefon. Szybko przyt\u0142oczy\u0142a mnie ilo\u015b\u0107 dost\u0119pnych opcji. Ma\u0142e wodoodporne etui, tanie silikonowe paski i sporo dro\u017cszy od reszty Quad Lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dlaczego mia\u0142abym p\u0142aci\u0107 dwie st\u00f3wy za dwa kawa\u0142ki plastiku? Jednak po przeczytaniu kilku pochlebnych recenzji postanowi\u0142am spr\u00f3bowa\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Quad Lock?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, Quad Lock looks unimpressive. When attached to the stem, it’s barely noticeable. The system contains two main elements: the mount and an adapter to glue onto your phone case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It keeps your phone securely attached to your bicycle and lets you safely peek at your phone when you need to check the navigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose between the traditional stem mount and the out-front mount. I’ve used the first one, but I used my dad’s out-front mount and was pretty impressed with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bezpiecze\u0144stwo i wygoda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am amazed at how safely and securely the simple construction of Quad Lock keeps my phone. I’ve taken it on countless bumpy rides, and the phone never fell off, even when I crashed at over 40 km\/h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Quad Lock is also very convenient. Clipping your phone in takes less than two seconds, and you can attach the mount it wherever it is most handy. Depending on the type of bike and my setup, I had it on my handlebar, my stem and even on the top tube (the last option makes the phone a tad harder to access, so I only recommend it if you have no space on your handlebar and don’t need to use your phone very often). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The robust and sturdy construction makes Quad Lock worth its relatively high price. The stem mount is made of glass-filled nylon and polycarbonate, and the outfront mount’s construction uses stainless steel. I’ve used it constantly for over six years, and it has survived all my falls and adventures without even a scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the unremarkably looking O-rings to attach the stem mount are strong and don’t stretch out. Unfortunately, I am very disorganised and lost them a while ago. I’ve replaced them with zip-ties, and it works all right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Quad Lock, it’s not only easy to attach and detach your phone. You can also dismount it swiftly and without any tools, which is convenient if you have several bikes. In this case, it’s best to use the standard stem mount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monta\u017c przedniego uchwytu trwa jak\u0105\u015b minutk\u0119 d\u0142u\u017cej - trzeba dokr\u0119ci\u0107 \u015brub\u0119 kluczem imbusowym (kt\u00f3ry jest do\u0142\u0105czony w zestawie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czy Quad Lock jest kompatybilny z moim telefonem?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obecnie Quad Lock oferuje etui na telefony tylko dla wybranych modeli smartfon\u00f3w (iPhone, Galaxy, Huawei i Pixel). Jednak na wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 standardowych etui na telefon mo\u017cna przyklei\u0107\u00a0uniwersalny adapter Quad Lock<\/a>. The adhesive doesn’t stick to leather, rubber, wood, anti-print glass and silicon, so it’s better to use plastic phone cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czy mog\u0119 u\u017cywa\u0107 Quad Locka jako uchwyt do GoPro?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quad Lock to nie tylko uchwyt na telefon. Je\u015bli chcesz filmowa\u0107 swoje rowerowe przygody za pomoc\u0105 GoPro, mo\u017cesz przekszta\u0142ci\u0107 go w mocowanie kamery sportowej, kupuj\u0105c dodatkowy adapter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Czy Quad Lock jest wodoodporny?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quad Lock doesn’t cover your phone in any way, so it’s not waterproof (unless your phone is). If you have an iPhone, Galaxy, Huawei, or Pixel phone, you can buy a\u00a0pon<\/a><\/span>cho\u00a0to protect it from rain, dust,<\/a> and mud.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t have a poncho for my phone. In heavy rain, I put it in a bag or in a pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawbacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main disadvantage of Quad Lock is that you need a special phone case or a case with the adapter to use it. If you want to borrow your bike from someone, they won’t be able to use the mount unless their phone case has the adapter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also a bit problematic when you’re changing the phone. I managed to unglue the Quad Lock adapter from my old case and stick it to the new one using some strong glue, but it was a bit of a hassle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irytuj\u0105cy jest r\u00f3wnie\u017c fakt, \u017ce adapter powi\u0119ksza i pogrubia m\u00f3j telefon. Jest to szczeg\u00f3lnie odczuwalne je\u015bli nosisz telefon w kieszeni spodni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it bothers you, consider getting a spare case you can use when you’re not cycling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quad Lock is one of the most expensive phone holders for cycling. Spending 45 euros for two small parts might seem excessive and unnecessary. However, when you calculate the cost per use, it doesn’t seem so pricey at all. I’ve been using it for over six years, and it doesn’t look like I’ll have to replace it anytime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, Quad Lock is a fantastic phone mount that makes using your phone for navigation on bicycle tours much smoother. If you’re looking for a tool to secure your phone on bumpy roads for years, you should absolutely check it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
