Is it still tacky after it hardens? I have a massive handlebar (about 5 inches of hair), will it hold that well?

>Is it still tacky?Yes, it can remain tacky for quite some time. It'll set and harden after a few minutes, but it's still sticky. You'll feel it on your fingers if you go back and re-adjust your 'stache. When it dries it goes from "cream/waxy" to "dry, but sticky".>Will it hold 5" well?I met a guy with handlebars to his ears (when uncurled) and he uses Clubman. I've found the longer, the better. Short hair fights harder against wax than long hair, in my experience. I tend to get droopy "fangs" if the middle isn't long enough, but the curls hold strong all day and even through boxing class. (Not a joke. It really does.)Extremely massive handlebars might require glue-sticks or hairspray. >Is it still tacky?Yes, it can remain tacky for quite some time.

I think as long as it's not textured it will hold up. I put one up on my textured wall and it wouldn't hold up at all. I moved it to my tiled wall and it has held up for several months now with large bottles of conditioner, shampoo, bar of soap and towel.

That is only at about the last 3/4" of the handlebar, beyond that the metal is thicker. Just so you know.

Yes and thick too. I had to really pull on the lether strapping to mount it on the bike in a snug fashion...strong enough to take the punishment. Robin Burgesse.

Yes if you want to hold the item in place as that is what grips the handlebar. It is a nice item. Velcro is heavy duty so phone doesn fall

Jason, I have thick hair and use this product to hold it down because it tends to be too bushy. It does a great job of holding it in place. You have to experiment with the amount to use, if you accidently use too much, it easily rubs out with a towel. If I was using this for fine hair, you need to start with just a little in your hands and see what works. I can quantify that the product works and I use it every single day.

I can tell you this much, on a mountain bike, riding a very rough ride over rocks, it stays on rock solid. The phone popped out of the grip once when I threw my bike, but the handle bar grip has been solid

After using it with your bike rackU can store it In your handle bar bag if you have one

Yes, you can keep this around a handle bar, I'm not sure how tight it gets so it might dangle slightly as you ride but it's definitely lightweight and convenient that you can take it on a bike ride with you.

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

It won't add to the appearance but should work for keeping your stuff dry and dust free. The mounting bracket will require drilling on your bike's rear if you don't have a rear rack.

It is a really solidly built bar. Just make sure you anchor it solidly (hit the studs). I doubt the bar itself would give way. The welds seem really solid to me, and I'm a big man.

I use it on my carbon fiber frame and haven't had any problems. You can always buy the Saris Bike Beam which attaches from the seat post to the handlebar stem. I have that as well, but I don't use it all the time.

I don't know how thick your hair is compared to mine but I didn't the hold was that good with this pomade. I needed to add hairspray to keep it in place and end up with the hold I wanted. You might dig it though give it a try it's cheap but keep in the mind the perfumey citrusy smell might take some getting used too.

Basically...but the rubber,friction, and ball detent within the mount have actually held my large HTC One on the handlebar of my road race bike for about 1000 miles. It shakes modestly when I get over 30 mph and fly over rough roads but I have yet to loose it. (But I also use an Otterbox Defender) (I am totally satisfied with this item and would highly recommend it).

Yes, it holds it very well. The way it attaches though is a sticky backing so you need a flat surface and once it's stuck that's it, the stickiness won't be enough for a 2nd time.

Mine is pretty strong. I didn't try to bend it or anything but it didn't break when I put it on or from daily wear and tear. I would maybe request them to send you a new one.
