FAQs

Does this mount fit all bikes?

It is designed specifically for bikes with 1 1/8 inch threadless headsets.

Can I use my existing phone case with this mount?

No, this system requires a dedicated Fidlock Vacuum smartphone case to create the magnetic vacuum seal.

Is the magnet harmful to my phone?

No, the mount is engineered to provide a secure hold without interfering with your phone's electronics or compass.

How do I prevent theft?

Use the included hex screw to fasten the base to your bike, which makes it much harder to remove than the manual knurled screw.

Can I leave the base on the bike permanently?

Yes, you can leave the base installed as long as you like, or remove it quickly when you do not need to mount your phone.

Troubleshooting

Phone is not sticking to the mount

Check that the magnetic base is free of mud or grit and ensure your phone case is a genuine Fidlock Vacuum product.

Mount feels loose or rotates

Re-tighten the hex screw or knurled screw to ensure the clamp is properly engaged with the ahead cap base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: This mount is specifically designed for bikes equipped with 1 1/8 inch threadless headsets. Verify your headset standard before attempting installation.
  2. Installation: Remove your existing top cap and replace it with the provided Fidlock ahead cap. Tighten the cap according to your headset manufacturer's torque specifications.
  3. Base Attachment: Place the magnetic base onto the cap. Secure it using either the knurled screw (for easy removal) or the hex screw (for a permanent, theft-resistant install).
  4. Maintenance: Periodically wipe the magnetic surface of the base and the back of your Vacuum phone case with a clean, dry cloth to ensure the seal remains strong and free of dirt or debris.
