Quad Lock Schwag Grab: we have winners!
We gave you the chance to win one of the natty Quad Lock smartphone mounts last week, and now it's time to annouce the three winners in our Quad Lock competition. Okay, we said we'd do it yesterday but it was Tony's birthday and we got distracted with the cake.
So the three winners out of the hat are... backflipbedlem, Vin Cox and justDave. Congratulations! We'll be in touch to arrange your prizes. Thanks to everyone who took part.
Remember, stay tuned for more competitions on the way soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyclists are increasingly using smartphones for navigating and recording rides, and the Quad Lock is a lightweight, strong and secure mounting system compatible with a wide range of phones, including the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4.
Madison (who also look after brands like Shimano, GoPro, Park Tool) have just landed the exclusive distribution rights for Quad Lock in the UK and ROI, and to celebrate are giving three lucky road.cc readers the chance to win a Quad Lock iPhone 5, iPhone 6 or Galaxy S4.
The Quad Lock is really easy to use. You get a case to pop your phone in, the mount attaches to the stem or handlebars, and the case simply twists and locks into place. The slim case also acts as a protective case for your phone so you can leave it on when you’re off the bike. You can read Dave’s indepth review to find out more about using the Quad Lock here.
To recap, we’ve got three mounts to give away, the three lucky winners can choose from an iPhone 5, iPhone 6 or Galaxy S4. These kits are worth between £25 and £45. Just tell us in the comments box if you use a phone when you’re cycling for tracking your activity or navigating routes, and we’ll stick your hat in the draw.
You’ve got until 5.30pm on Monday 15th December. Usual schwag grab rules apply
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

I use a phone when cycling for tracking my activity or navigating routes, please stick my hat in the draw.
Strava mainly for route tracking/"training" info. Some use of Google maps if looking for an alternate route.
IPhone 5 and OS MapFinder to find out where I am when I am not where I think I should be.
Iphone 6 Please in fact pretty please
Nice! I'm in dire need of one!
I use an iPhone 5 for activity tracking, so a mount would be grand!
yes, please.
At the moment I hit the start button on Strava, stick my phone in my jersey pocket and ride. Having this would open up a whole new world of possibilities!
iPhone 5s for occasional navigation duties please
iphone 5 for me please
IPhone 5s for finding my way around.
IPhone 5s for finding my way around.
iPhone 5 please.
Yep please. Iphone 5
Galaxy S4 please Santa.
Yep, use my iPhone 6 for recording my rides all the time.
iPhone 6 pls! I use mines in a big old fiddly case for routing (and Strava for shorter rides when I don't care about my cadence.
Would be brilliant for indoor winter training with a film on my handlebars to break the tedium!
Also, whenever I read 'schwag', it makes me think of these guys:
The Galaxy S4 will do me nicely, thank you in advance!
I use my iphone 6 for tracking. So yes please!
Yes please galaxy s4 to get wet
Universal please. I used a cheap "Fonerange" phone while navigating around NZ in August. Would have been easier if it was on my bars!
If you don't try you don't get! iPhone 5 please Santa
