Best way to attach phone to bike? (lemm.ee)

Hi all, I just got a new bike and I want to find a good solid way to attach my mobile phone somewhere near the stem. I want to be able to track some of my rides and use the phone for navigation sometimes too so it has to be visible & touchable wherever I mount it.

My bike (Cannondale Topstone 2 gravel) has mounts for a top tube bag, or I think I've seen some sort of secure mounts in use by folks I ride with.

What's your fave solution for this these days?

Cheers!

Quadlock are head and shoulders above anything else I've seen. Well worth the cost, and lots of options.

I’ll second this opinion. Great mounts and fantastic phone cases.

Yah, cool. Knew this would come up. Now I'm comparing QuadLock to this SP Connect brand mentioned in the video @Emotet@slrpnk.net linked us to as well. Very similar approaches. Same price, basically.

Dnt know anything about them. I assume they are all pretty good. The reason I went quadlock am was for the wireless car mag lock holder which is super convenient when driving. That and they seem pretty ubiquitous so I figure I can get replacement parts easily on trips etc.

Makes sense, yah. I do see quadlocks around often. Thanks!
