I hit a pothole at around 30 mph and managed to dislodge my bike computer from its mount. It went flying around 40 or 50 meters down the road. Impressively it survived with only a few cosmetic scratches and the screen which was covered with a screen protector was completely unscathed. Much better than chucking your thousand quid IPhone down the road which I doubt would have survived the same treatment.
Also if you don't have any vibration dampening you can potentially damage your phone's camera sensors. It's why quadlock have dampening accessories that's usually used by motorcycle users.
Also, GCN are sponsored by Wahoo.
However the benefit of a phone over a bike computer is that you can ACTUALLY READ THE BLOODY THING with middle-aged, long-sighted eyes.
Everything is as true as GCN is sponsored by Wahooo and others😅
My iPhone can link to power meter and all. The screen is way bigger, brighter, and better on my phone. Battery lasts plenty long enough. The screen on bike computers are tiny and hard to see. You have to adjust it to only like 1-3 items per page. But on my iphone I can have lik 6-8 items on a page and see it great! The Cadence app is cheap and superrrr customizeable and helpful 😀
You should use your phone only as a phone, because when you need urgent assistant and your battery is flat because been using it instead of a bike computer then you are in serious trouble.
Suggesting you need this tech if you 'get seriously into cycling ' is just wrong, if your seriously into stats on the other hand….
More accurate dezcription: Wahoo Advert.
You can pick up a Galaxy S9 for £160 which has ANT+ connectivity, can run Komoot, Strava, Bike Computer pro (or all three at once!) for 4 – 5 hours with screen on. For me that's enough for 100km and I can boost from the battery in my light if I need more. Quadlock do great mounts and ponchos. Would I use the latest Phone? Of course not. It's over £1000.
But can it order a pizza?
Well, let him use Wahoo, who can also afford $2000 on a set of carbon rims. This boy's sticking to his trusty Samsung until the promotion.
Phone is my versatile. Better screen resolution. There are apps for everything you need. Unless you are semi pro….stick to your phone
With respect Ollie have you seen the price of them !
I cannot bring myself to buying a cycle computer, I am always carrying my phone so why would I have a cycle computer and carry my phone? Extra cost and extra weight, can’t do it. I use my phone to track my riding and have a battery booster for rides over 60 miles if it’s needed.
Can you guys do a review of the cadence or cycle meter app for the iPhone and android? Reason being is I’d rather spend money on a power meter and other gear and use my bone as my Bike computer and those apps seem to be able to pair power meters, heart rate from my existing Apple Watch, and even a radar sensor. Can y’all do an update for 2025 2026?
