Touch Diamond Bike Holders

[LessThanSte]

Hello

Im after a bike computer and figure that to save myself from buying a new one i could use my diamond. This leads to 2 questions.

1) Are there any decent apps out there that are decent for use as a bike computer. All i really require is speed, distance and times at various points, really!

2) More importantly, does anyone know of any phone holders that are suitable to attach to the front handlebar of a bike (and by bike i mean bicycle), remembering that it gets shaken around a fair bit and needs to be pretty secure so that it doesnt come flying off!

I came across a program called Pocket GForce which appears to be roughly what im after, has anyone used it for this purpose?

Hi,
searched for the same for a minute and then got the idea to get a quick-snappable front bag for the bike with a waterproof map-bag on it. Works out fine for me ...

2)I'm looking for something like that myself. I wouldn't be surprised if dealextreme have somthing useful.

1) GPSCyclecomputer v3 as per previous post is exactly what you are after and what I use myself for mountain biking and urban cycling.

2) I use a RAM U-Bolt system similar to the one shown here:

(Note: I've mounted mine differently to that so that it doesn't stick out so high and forward either)

It is exceptionally well built and sturdy and easy to install. The only criticism I have of mine is that I use the weatherproof case holder and it can be difficult to see the screen through the plastic cover.

I don't have the specific details of exactly which bits I opted for, where I purchased from and cost to hand but happy to dig them out if you like.

HTH:)
