THE PIN...
The pin is the weak link in an otherwise good product. It is hard to initially get in, and damage to the plastic housing is likely if you force it. Now I find that the pin falls out when it is not under load. When the mount in on, it is secure, but when I remove it, the pin falls out.
The mount itself is great and I would give it a 5 otherwise.

UPDATE
Cons: instructions could be clearer,mount made for 2g
After receiving an email from Ram-Mount I once again attempted to assemble the mount. I had to trim the strap to fit the handlebar of the bike, and hadn't trimmed enough of it to let the strap seat properly. After trimming it more it snapped into place, and then the rest of the assembly was easy, The cradle itself is made for a 2nd gen ipod, and even with the enclosed spacer my 4th gen touch has a lot of space side to side, but was never in danger of falling out. For this reason my review goes from a 2 to a 4

BUYER BEWARE!
Pros: good design in thory.....
Cons: impossible to assemble
I had high expectations for this mount when I ordered it. I liked the idea of a bicycle mount that was easily removed and attached. When I ordered it I had not realized that the product was back ordered, and anxiously waited weeks for it to ship. It finally arrived today, and I carefully read the instructions before starting assembly. When I finally got to the part where the strap attaches to the mount, I realized there was a problem. There is a pin that goes through the strap and there are 2 holes in the mount that the pin is 'supposed' to go through, in the way a watch band connects to a wrist watch. The problem is that the 2nd hole that the pin goes through is drilled lower than the first, which is good in theory to keep the pin from falling out, but is so low that it is almost impossible to get it in. I tried for a solid half hour before giving up and writing to Ram-Mounts expressing my displeasure. I told them the product is great in theory, but needs more R&D. Even if I did manage to get it attached I'm apprehensive about using it, knowing that a badly designed mount is all there is between my $300 iPod and the pavement. I may permanently attach the mount with zip ties, which is the mount I should have gone with in the first place. As for the iPod holder itself, it is designed for a tough 2G (is even printed on the back of it) so the 4G rattles around in it unless you use their "fix" which is a piece of sticky foam...so buyer beware!
