| I bought this product to use with my 5th generation, 160 GB iPod classic. There were no
mounting instructions, but it isn't rocket science, so that's not really an issue. The
item was solidly built, and mounted firmly (I attached it to the handlebar stem) to my
bicycle. In fact, it did everything that the seller claimed it would. The product arrived
in a timely fashion.
The problem that I had with the item is that it provided too solid a mounting platform for
my iPod. The iPod felt every bump and rattle from the road, which didn't seem to work too
well with the internal hard drive. The result was poor playback that frequently stalled.
After about an hour (and 20 miles) I concluded that the vibration from the mount was
causing the playback trouble, so I discontinued using it. The was no harm to the iPod,
although I would speculate that it could be possible to damage the hard drive due road
vibration.
This product may indeed be a great solution for an iPod touch, or iPhone without an
internal hard drive, but for those with an HD, don't bother. | |

| Nice! The holder secures the iPod to the handlebars while
allowing total control of the iPod.
Love this mount. Allows many configurations.
If you have NO "skills" or mechanical aptitude, get a friend
to help who does. | |

| Be ready to pull the grips and brake off your
handlebar when using this mount. I have standard
to small handlebars in diameter on my road bike -
although it looks like it snaps over the
handlebar, it barely fits and you can hear the
plastic cracking when you try. There are no
instructions to state otherwise, lots of extra
screws, and what installation instructions existed
said to use electrical tape instead of supplying a
rubber grommet to go under it. The design of the
mount was not well thought out. | |
