When it comes to taking the iPhone with you on a bike ride, there is no 36
solutions. You can either decide to slip it into your pocket or bag,
or decide to opt for a bike stand to have it in front of you.
Loyal readers that you are, you suspect that we have chosen the
second solution.

Aftera first
contact en photo, it's high time to discover the Quad Lock support in
action after he accompanied me for several tens of kilometers by
good weather, and sometimes even in the rain:

Unpacking and installation

When the little cardboard box arrives at home, it is quickly
unpacked, and that's where the inventory begins. We obviously discover the
shell which will protect the iPhone, but also the support to be fixed on the
bike.

In addition to this, there are two sets of small elastics as well as two
clamps to secure everything to the bike. Last element but not
least, a transparent plastic cover which is attached to the front of
iPhone to protect it from mud, dust or rain. In addition
of all this, an assembly instruction in English is attached.

Facing the bike, assembly takes no more than two minutes. On the support,
the corners are designed to accommodate the elastics. Just jam it
on one side, extend the elastic a little and go around the stem and
voila.

Two sizes of elastic are provided to adapt to the greatest number of
bicycles possible. Once everything is in place, you can choose to secure the
everything with the clamps and thus avoid the theft of the support by
example.

Utilisation

Once the support is in place, all that remains is to attach the iPhone to it.
This is done without worry thanks to the shell. Just place the iPhone tilted
at 45° and turn. We then hear a click which means that everything is in place.
place. Of course, it is possible to position the iPhone vertically or
horizontally.

Once fixed, the iPhone no longer moves. To remove it, you must maintain the
blue part of the holder down and rotate the iPhone again. Of
This way, it is impossible to remove the iPhone accidentally, or even
to make him fall.

On the support, the iPhone is accessible and the cyclist can launch his
favorite apps very easily to know the route to follow, the
current speed… The iPhone then transforms into a real computer
bord.

As soon as the rain shows up, simply add the
rain protection on the iPhone screen and it is protected. GOOD
Of course, it remains fully usable.

The shell is relatively pleasant to use. Plastic
soft pleasant to the touch, the opening at the back increases the thickness a little
of the iPhone without it being annoying on a daily basis. For the rest, buttons,
sockets and cameras remain perfectly accessible.

To conclude

Simple to install and use, the Quad Lock bike rack is
particularly reliable on the road and on steeper paths. After
several hundred kilometers in his company, I must admit that I
I only have one regret: that there is no compatible battery case
with the Quad Lock solution.

In addition, for those like me who don't like the fun of removing and putting back
the hull, it exists
a whole range of accessoriesto accompany us in the car, to the
maison…

If you are looking for support for your walks this summer, don't hesitate, you
you won't regret it.
