Bike Mount

Has anyone seen a mount for handle bars on a bike?
Ive searched around on eBay and places, but I cannot find any. I saw something on here a while back but I cannot find it now

you're right...it looks like crap lol. add me to the list of want-to-buy-high-quality-bike-mount please.

Ive already ordered it, I am supposed to get it soon, ill let you know whether or not its crap... Im pretty hard on my bike so it shall be a good test...

How about a mount for my motorcycle?
Update: Hmmmm....seems to be made for I-phone but worth a shot? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Google-Nexus-One-Motorcycle-Mount-Holder-FREE-SHIPPING/220544648893

I also ordered one... for $10 its not too bad.
Then again, I'm holding a five hundred dollar phone to a thousands dollar bike with a ten dollar piece of plastic.
Since this ships from HK, itll take a while to arrive in the states.

I missed the package today, I'll pick mine up tomorrow I'll mount it up and take pics.. I'll probably throw my ipod touch in there for the trial run (depending on fit) I'd rather not have the nexus break first go round

Well, I got mine yesterday, decided to go out on a little bike ride and test it out. (with an Ipod) it worked awesomely didnt fall out once, I can safely say that i trust it to hold to my $577 phone to my $1000 bike...
It was well worth the 16 bucks total (including shipping)!

This is the Bike Mount I got
http://4u-kidi.com/info.php?itno=5548
very sturdy and screws right onto the handlebars

Wow, thanks for the pictures.
No chance of the N1 falling out due to bumps in the road/ recoil from breaking too fast? It's comforting to at least hear the sturdiness of the mount.

Wow.. that thing is rather large on the bars. Wouldnt be any room for my Garmin on the stem with the phone taking up half the bars.

Yeah, but you can stand it vertically if you have a need for more room.. it doesn't shake or move really at all, the whole swivel tightens down so it doesn't move out of place
the clip itself is very sturdy too, i can hold the whole unit upside down and shake it.. (did it over my bed) and the n1 doesn't fall out or even move.

Does it fit 31.8 bars?

yes, it has two rubber pieces to fit smaller bars too, its basically a hinge that goes around your bars.. and then you screw it tight

Too bad its doesnt do Ant+ so I could integrate my Powertap.

Thanks for the review nelson. How often do you ride? Since you say it's sturdy...I might take the chance. Maybe I'll wait until rainy season is over first before biting though, just in case something else comes out.
p.s. Are those shimano 105s?

That's my tandem bike, it's dead winter here (chicago) so i haven't ridden since Sept, but I try to go 1000-2000 a summer, sometimes more depending on the weather.. last year was very fair so it was perfect for riding
yes, they came with TZ30s, and I replaced those immediately

What kind of tandem do you have? I have a 2009 Cannondale Road tandem. I also had a 1977 Santana tandem (I forget the model) that had the old Sachs 5 group on it. It was slightly too big for me so I sold it last year.
I also have a 1988 Schwinn Tempo, a Pinarello F4:13 and a Blue RC6. I have a Fuji 29'er as well but I dont ride it as much as I wish I could.

Moto Droid 2 Explodes in user ear. Is this really possible?

I'm not sure how many of you have heard it but a user was on a call and his droid 2 exploded and some of the glass cut his ear causing a hospital visit and 4 stitches. As a Electronics Engineer I doubt anything except the battery could cause such a explosion. But I'm not very knowledgeable on the LCD etc and to what the potential danger is for explosion.
I'm sure this will hit main stream media by tomorrow and if it is proven to be accurate and true, this is going to be a big hit for Moto and maybe cause for concern of others using the same possibly defective hardware.
Here is a video of a news clip. http://www.the33tv.com/videobeta/919e261e-2d3d-422a-bc61-f3c62612039c/News/12-02-10-Cell-Phone-Explodes

After some more investigating on Google I think this will turn out to be a fraud or scam. I can't see how the explosion could have came from the inside of the phone with enough force to crack the screen and the phone is still working. Most of these rare instances are related to the battery exploding. If this was the case the device would not function at all.
I suspect this guy damaged the device put it up to his ear and made it cut himself and try to make people believe it exploded.
We will see???

...I dont know what to make of that story. It seems to me that the screen is intact making and "explosion" kinda not possible. It sucks that this day and age we cant just take someones word on what happened but face it, the worlds full of people trying to get rich quick. Cant say that this is what this couple is doing...but looking at the phone, seems more like he dropped it and now wants a new phone for free.
I dont know..I suppose Verizon can release to Motorola his call records under a courts order and that would be the first step..see if he actually placed a call at around that time.
The other thing, If I was in my driveway and my phone explodes on the side of my head I am not going to leave my house and travel to my wife for her to tell me what happened lol, I am going to go inside my house and look in the mirror to see what the hell just happened to my head..thats just me though I guess?

He had to have smashed it in his pocket and answered a call thereby cutting himself on the glass.

considering that the Moto Droid line uses Gorilla Glass it really makes me wonder how the hell that happened without destroying the phone. one of my buddies who drives for another company accidentally ran his D2 over and the only thing that was still good was the screen. my guess is this dude is pissed about Verizion dropping the D2 and releasing the D2 Global with better specs and is trying to get out of his 2 year contract and get a payday on top of it.

he must've been overclocking the sh!t out of that droid2 3.0ghz maybe seriously who do you sue verizon or google whoever it is i'll say thanks for the riches ya dig.

Tired of not having a kickstand? Don't want to spend money on a dock?

I made this bad boy with some cardboard, staples and electrical tape.
Ohh yeahhh

Works with the Epic pretty well but you need to use thick cardstock or it won't support the heavy phone...

Good Idea.... wrong execution. I do admire your bravery to post it though. Here are a couple of hangers i've made. The one on the table was for my Samsung Omnia, and the 2nd is for the epic that sits on the vent slots. They are made of 14g fence wire that I had laying around.I've since panted the hanger for the epic.

If enough people like it them, i might make instruction on how to make them
And starskyrob it doesnt matter what anone else says. as long as your happy with the end result of what you made thats all that matters.

..... that's actually really frigging clever. Why the blazes did I not think of this. *considers cannibalizing a hanger at home.
.... just...genius.

Thx! Yea, i saw how to make the one that stands on the table, from a video on Youtube, which i can no longer find.... But i've actually have made a few of these for friends and a couple for myself, just by looking at my first one (the one that stands on the table) for an example.
I no long have the omnia, or i'd love to show you how it looks to have a phone in it... the pic really doesnt do it justice.
Taking your time is key, making sure every bend is not too tight or to lose. Just use your phone as a template.
I'd like to see what you make!

Ummm the desktop charger for the epic is a kickstand. That's why there is that circular groove in the front of it with a lil strip of rubber in the middle. Slide out keyboard the open battery door then horizontally place phone in groove. Works great for watching movies on a plane.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for posting!

Ya'll are ghetto! Just find a business card holder at your local office supply store. They're cheap, and they at least look like they belong on an office desk. Doesn't the night maintenance staff throw your "stands" away every night because it looks like you left trash on your desk?

They were contributing... May not have been much, but its more then what I can say for you.
And the titles says "dont want to spend money"
Trolls be lurking. Do it somewhere else plz.

Like a boss

haha pretty awesome dock you got there XD

http://www.instructables.com/id/Binder-Clip-Phone-Car-Mount/
This is by far the simplest and most effective dock to make it works anywhere and can be made adjustable by clipping in onto a piece of metal or thin wood will take some pics of mine. have made 3 so far 2 for my friends takes about 10 min tops to make one , you do need shrinking tube.

Worked up one of these yesterday. Its BOSS. I love it and it actually feels morebdurable than something id spend ~$20 on

So you mean to tell me you have a $550 phone and don't want to spend an extra $20-$30 for an actual dock or $2 on a biz card holder like the one guy suggested cmon. I took a flight to vegas I was watching movies with my epic standing up in the desktop battery charger. THAT'S BOSS AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE DAMN LOOK AT THIS BALLER. Not damn look at this dude with a beamer that just ran outta gas. Which I would point and lol.

Glad the pos work truck didnt overheat and got me home cause the phone sure wouldnt have pulled through a call... the joys of owning a g2x.
Anyways moral of the story is.... I just got the confirmation from amazon for my 3500mah battery...
You guys must have some screenshots of bad things on your phone lol
Making bad decision's one at a time.

White power, underclocked to 500 MHz, juice defender, and 1% of battery... that's what I got from all this lol.

No just the -9c forgot that was there:$
Making bad decision's one at a time.

Well, between the temperature, the truck overheating and the 1% battery I would have said that you were up shiznit creek without a paddle.

And yet you took the time to make a screenshot.
You have a good explanation for the White Power thing I hope?

Yeah i always have my screenshot app running.
You dont have friends that set awful pics for your background or change everyrhing around when you leave your phone laying around?
Thats not even the worst part try having a picture of someones balls come up when your gf calls... thats why you should never leave your phone laying around
Making bad decision's one at a time.

I'm pretty sure if that temp on your cpu is correct your battery woulda been at least a couple degrees colder and at that temp itsnot gone work no more.....WHITE POWER! lmao. Ohh and you should give serious consideration to increasing your work trucks antifreeze ratio sos your water pump doesn't freeze again.

Lol at the White Power...

Batteries are less efficient during the cold. So if this was worse battery life then you are used to then that's why. If you thought your phone might freeze you are mistaken. Computer parts actually work very well even being cooled with liquid nitrogen. The only reason your phone might have a close call is if moisture built up inside the phone. Then when you went inside the ice would melt and short out your phone. This is very unlikely but a possibility. The only thing on the phone that doesn't work well in this kind of cold other then the battery is the screen. The particles inside your screen will have a hard time refreshing in the cold. Expect to see heavy ghosting (and not the kind that dress like the kkk).

Ok, so there's a lot of dirty details i probably shouldn't talk about, but i'll try to give a Bob Saget-narrorated version (How I Met Your Mother watchers will understand whats happening);
my friend asked me for a ride, he needed to pick up a couple ounces of sandwiches. (following me, himym watchers?) in exchange i get a couple bites of sandwich.
this is a pretty normal thing, or at least it used to be. i found a better sandwich shop in a better part of town. but i digress; we proceed to pick up some sandwich.
so we pick up the sandwich guy go to this unfamiliar place and were like bro where the sandwiches at bruh we hungry. and thats when we find out hes not the sandwich guy, hes the sandwich guy's friend and dudes making the sandwiches and is supposedly going to bring them out to us. Eventually, sandwich dudes friend acts like they're taking too long and gets out the car and walks somewhere, none of us are paying attention where he goes we just hungry. when he comes back hes got two other dudes with him. one of thems got a bag, we figure thats the sandwich guy, he gets in the car and is like "lemme get your order" and were like dude, other guy supposed to have told you our order and you were supposed to bring it to us. so the dudes like let me go talk to him since he getting some sandwich too. so he gets out the car and talks to the guy a little, and then opens the bag
kids, nothing good happens after 3 am.
there are no sandwiches in the bag.
there are in fact guns in the bag

here, is where it gits less Bob Saget in full house, more Bob Saget in half baked, so i'm gonna say don't read this if you're timid. its not graphic, but it does kinda show a harsh underlying reality of how unnecessary prohibition of a dr- of sanwiches.. can lead to unnecessary violence. this is also where the part about why you SHOULD BUY THIS CASE comes in. so read it, if youre an adult.
they pull out the guns, and were all more stunned than deer. (idk how many countries have deer, but they just stare at you while youre honking and flashing lights at them until you hit them) The three dudes force us out of the car, each guy handling one of us individually from the other. The guy coming at me had a pistol he was pushing against my head telling me to get out of the car. once what was happening processed i quickly unbuckled my seatbelt, and out of habbit grabbed my phone which was in my lap. pistol-whippeed me in the back of the head, and told me to get on the ground. i did, and layed my phone next to me on the ground, thinking "WHY DO I HAVE THIS, WHAT AM I GONNA DO CALL THE COPS"
i guess the other guy was thinking the same thing, and proceeds to pistol whip my phone. which, mind you, is face down at the time. my phones gone right? that case is designed for drops, no way its gonna survive a full force hit to its back from a gun grip.
WRONG
it survived, bros.
dont get me wrong, its bent. and its a noticeable bend (picture iminent,) AND the case cracked a bit. BUT
NO SCREEN DAMAGE WHATSOEVER, PERFECTLY FULLY-FUNCTION-ALMOST-MINT-CONDITION-BESIDES-THE-BEND PHONE
it was LEGEN- WAIT FOR IT
no the pictures.
wait for the pictures

DARY!
LEGENDARY!
Perfect screen:
So basically buy the unicorn beetle. It stands out from the rest.

Wouldn't it have been easier for him to kick the phone away? If I had a loaded and perhaps cocked gun, I wouldn't be grabbing the barrel and beating something with it. And why did they take you out of the car? To beat your phone with a gun? Hmmm

It looks like very good deal.
