Choosing the Best Tackform Phone Mount for Your Bike

July 18, 2017

Buying a bike mount is a lot like buying clothes—one size does not fit all! There are many features to consider when choosing a bike phone holder—durability, function, style, theft deterrent, materials, ease of installation, and more.

How much did that latest and greatest state-of-art smartphone or iPhone cost? Do you really want to risk losing or damaging it because your bike’s phone mount let you down?

Before choosing a smartphone or iPhone holder for a bicycle, answering the following questions will quickly weed out inappropriate choices that won’t meet your individual needs.

Are you attaching the bike phone mount to an outdoor bicycle, an indoor bicycle, or both?

Are your bike riding conditions particularly rough, gritty, and dirty, or are you cycling on fairly smooth, consistently paved terrain that is relatively free of bumps and cycling challenges?

Does the bike mount need to hold a phone or a GoPro camera?

Do you cycle mostly in mild weather or in all types of weather?

How much are you willing to spend to get the features you desire?

Where will you be attaching your phone mount?
