Dear all,
I ride a Canyon Ultimate with an Aero cockpit. With the bike came a Garmin mount fitted specifically for the cockpit. But: I do not own a Garmin, so far have recorded any rides with my iphone.
Does anybody know an adapter to attach my Iphone to the Garmin mount on the bike? Couldn't find anything by googling...
Thanks a lot for any ideas you might have!

    Find one of the thousands of broken Garmins that are out of warranty, hacksaw the back off it and epoxy it to the back of an old iphone 4S, running the Strava app, all set! :D

    Ok, thanks, that definitely is an idea :shock:
    Maybe somebody knows about a more pre-fabricated product applying less violence to my electronics?

    Wouldn't risk a decent phone on the bars - too prone to damage in a crash....
    FFS! Harden up and grow a pair :D

    Thanks to all of you. I found the Racewaredirect page but that looks really shaky...
    I think I will go with the Dogears plate and try to glue some stuff together...
    :twisted:
  • Or get a Wahoo RFLKT, currently £25 brand new direct from Wahoo.
    This will take the data from your phone and display it on your handlebars.

    Thanks Ascot, that probably is the most convenient solution. Just ordered one for €29 at Wahoo. No MacGyvering necessary!
