How to create a bicycle bar extension out of a stem adapter

In this video I’m going to explain how to use a stem adapter as a bicycle bar extension hack.
I often ride in places where I have to rely on navigation to find my way. I have an iPhone and a LifeProof LifeActive bike mount so I can use specific apps handsfree.
If you can’t place a bike phone mount on the stem, which is the case with the very wide Syncros Cattleprod stem, you’re forced to look at an asymmetric setup.
I think an asymmetric setup looks ugly, and it’s also one of the reasons I run two lights on my Killer V, with the phone mounted on a Bar Fly Universal Mount in the middle.
However, this Bar Fly Universal Mount is made out of plastic and attaches to the bar in just one place. This means it’s unusable to accommodate the relative high weight of the smartphone on anything other than tarmac.
The mount simply is too flimsy to support the weight on rougher terrain and would bounce all over the place, with the possibility of the smartphone disconnecting from the mount.
I looked at several options that were best suited for the Syncros stem and decided to go a less intuitive route and choose the TransZ stem adapter, which costs €18.

Ah, a connoisseur :)

So you are adding around 200g to your setup on a bike (partially) made of carbon fibre just to achieve cockpit symmetry. I am glad I'm not alone with my bike OCD. :)

I'm afraid I won't be able to deny it :)
