Tacx Handlebar Mount - Any alternatives?

vpnikolov

Hi guys,

Today I got myself a handlebar mount, but was quite unpleasantly surprised when I tried to put my tablet in there - it did not fit...

Are there any alternatives out there that will accommodate larger tablets?

Another idea I had was to 3d print the width and height adjusters to make them slightly longer. Any idea of a London-based company that could carry out such work?

Bought one of these last week and it works well as long as you have a shelf/chair/table to clamp it to

Which mount did you get? The Tacx version is good and certainly fits the regular (9.5"?) iPad, smaller iPad Pro and will adjust for the iPad Mini too

I bought a mount to read books whilst on the turbo back in the day before ipads were around.

Impossible. The vibration meant you couldn't read and you'd sweat on it anyway.

I just have my ipad on the cabinet in front of the turbo nowadays

I am using surface pro 4. It is slightly bigger than the iPads.

Yeah - it's verging on a laptop with a detachable keyboard. I think it's about the same size as the full-size iPad Pro. If I were you, I'd be looking for something that describes itself as a laptop stand.
