Upgrade your cycling experience with the Fidlock VACUUM Ahead Cap Base, a smart and versatile smartphone mount designed for seamless integration with your bike's ahead cap. This innovative accessory allows you to securely attach your smartphone to your bike with ease, providing quick installation and removal without compromising safety or convenience. Its clever design ensures the ahead cap remains firmly screwed to your bike frame, while the mount can be effortlessly clamped or locked in place.
Featuring a unique combination of magnetic force and vacuum suction, the Fidlock VACUUM Ahead Cap Base guarantees a reliable hold that centers your smartphone perfectly on the mount. Whether you use the special VACUUM mobile phone case or the universal adhesive patch, your device will stay firmly attached even on bumpy rides. The 360° rotation capability allows full adjustability for optimal viewing angles, while a secure ball catch prevents unwanted movement during your journey. Operating the mount is intuitive and can be done with just one hand, making it ideal for on-the-go navigation and calls.
Crafted to fit all 1 1/8" threadless headsets, this mount integrates seamlessly with your bike without interfering with any electronics. Durable and thoughtfully engineered, it supports all VACUUM smartphone cases and includes all necessary components for installation: the ahead cap with screw, the VACUUM ahead cap base, and the clamp with both knurled and Allen screws for extra security.
Is the Fidlock VACUUM Ahead Cap Base compatible with all smartphones?
It is compatible with smartphones equipped with Fidlock’s special VACUUM mobile phone case or the universal VACUUM adhesive patch. Without these, the magnetic and vacuum connection cannot function properly.
Can I adjust the viewing angle of my smartphone while riding?
Yes, the mount allows your smartphone to rotate 360° and includes a ball catch to prevent unwanted movement, so you can set your preferred angle safely.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward and all necessary components are included. It fits all 1 1/8" threadless headsets and secures firmly with either a knurled screw or theft-proof Allen screw.
Can I quickly remove my phone from the mount?
Absolutely. The mount is designed for one-handed operation, allowing you to release your phone easily by pressing the lever on the side of the holder.
