I bought a clamp-on type phone mount for my 23 Breakout. The mount rotates on the bar as the rubber slides on the smooth chrome bar.
I tried wrapping bar with double sided tape. Soon as it gets heated up, the glue turns to liquid and mount slides around.

Anyone have a suggestion of how to use the mount on a chrome bar? Have one on my wife's Spyder but her handlebar is textured and mount does budge.


TIA !!!

 

Get a perch mounted phone holder.

It looks like you're asking for suggestions to use your existing mount but getting recommendations for other mounts. I agree with the other posters, however, I'll try to explain why. The mount you have doesn't appear to be the best design. Although I am a mechanical engineer, it doesn't take one to see that the points where the clamping force is exerted are rather close to where the 2 halves of the mount pivot. That means limited mechanical advantage and with the clamping halves being at least partially plastic, it doesn't make for a good grip. With all that being said, I use a Tackform mount and it is rock solid, however, it is a little spendy. I am of the mindset though to "Buy once, cry once".

Replace their rubber with inner tube rubber. Maybe going around twice with the inner tube strip?

 

I'm a EE but completely understand your points. The one on my wife's Spyder is solid on the textured handlebar.
I'll be looking into another mount, thanks.
