Does this device work well for road bikes? I saw the pix of the mountain bike. Just wondering?

This works great for road bikes. In fact it works great for both mountain and road. You'll be pleased with how well your road bike fits in this device.

It is best to rotate the head to the angle that you want it at or close to it before you clamp your bike into the head. But it rotates rather easily for a lighter bike. I can rotate my road bikes with no problem. But my Mountain bikes are more difficult to rotate. It is a weight thing.

It is probably a little higher tooth count than you would want on a road bike, it will work, but it's designed to go up steep hills in a off road setting with 34-36T. Road bikes are made for speed instead of climbing offroad terrain. Hope that answers it for ya

I put mine on a mountain bike. I live on a sailboat and needed a good way to carry things back to the boat. mounting it was simple.

this bottle cage was holding good on my road bike, I think it will work the same with the mountain bike as long as you using regular water bottles.

I thought you needed an Ant + device, like one of the garmin bike computers. I paired this with my Garmin 500. I have this on my MTB and the older GC-10 cadence monitor on my road bike. Both bike profiles are in my Garmin 500, and they work just fine. Not sure if you can just use this with an app.

I have used the CatEye on my road bike and my mountain bike, and they performed well. The display shows twoselectable functions. After a ride, the distance, average speed, max speed, can be recalled. The unit can be calibrated veryaccurately by entering tire size.

I mounted it on the handlebars of my Yamaha roadstar to hold my phone. My speedo broke and I use my old phone with a GPS powered droid speedo program. It works great. Only drawback. Phone is easy to steal if you leave your bike unattended.

Depends on your handlebars. It doesn't work on my road bike. The handlebars have to be round.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be more cle,

I placed some silicone gasket-maker on the surface where the light attaches to the handlebars. Let it dry (off of the bike), and it makes a nice, tacky surface that doesn't slip when I ride. Works great for cross country mountain biking. Not sure how it will hold up to downhill.

Yes, dont buy if you will attach it to road bike or mountain bike. I returned mine after my phone damage, does not secure, get the bm works

Should work ok with thin-tire road bike. Knobby tread on some mountain bike tires might give a rough ride, and some of the new "fat tire" bikes probably won't fit.

I googled the bicycle that you mentioned, and it looks like there's too much structure located at the bike's balance point. This bike rack clamps at the center balance of the bike frame. I have a Giant road bike, a simple frame without the suspension that a mountain bike has and it works fine.

I have not used it on a mountain bike, but the holding mechanism is springloaded, so a good bump or spill and the phone might go flying. I would try to attach a safety tether on the phone."Just in case"

Hello Cathy...CatEye works very well in any bike, but if you have a mountain bike it works well until the sensor being hit by a stone and this happened with all my CAtEye. If you can, do not hesitate to buy a gps for cycling, it is much pretty better!

Has anyone used this device on an Adventure Cycling cross country tour? And how useful are the AC way point info. Tnx, Jack
