Mini 4 accessories

[Muskie1]

 Excuse my lack of proper use of the English language.

I have had my bike for about 10 months and have bought many things,  my first buy was the bike, bad decision on the model I chose, I bought the mini 4 , not the step thru out of vanity because of color and not wanting a girls bike.

All wrong,  60 years old and getting on the bike did not work out well, 4 falls, one crash.  All falls getting on it, get a step thur..
The good things I bought were a K- bro handle bar attachment for the accessories I wanted, soI could mount things, Lsan headlight, awesome, Rad rack useless, Clover made .milk crate,  great, Hanfy mirror bad, cheap horn, great, Gub phone holder bad,, cheap  top bar bag great  .

I agree with your advice; I faced the same choice and after briefly considering "girl's bike" I bought the Mini StepThru2.  No regrets at all, my knees appreciate it and I'm old enough that I really don't care at all what others think, as I pass them going up hills.   

I also have the Gub phone mount and love it; holds my Samsung S10e even in a thick Otterbox case, but I'm curious why you don't like it?

It?s a fun factoid to note that the term ?girls bike? is uniquely American slang.

Every other country calls this frame style a Step-Though.

 Well I wished I had known that , only other languages I know of use the middle finger at me, I guess it means I am # 1.

Here in metro Detroit  it usually is a thumbs up , oh well.

Mine constantly loosens, and the rubber straps are a pain for me. I only have one hand with good dexterity.  Most of my rides are circular, many stops.

Ahhh, it seems you have a different model than mine, which is all-metal, no rubber straps; I'd only ever seen the one, including for sale via Rad:

Mine is all metal, ordered from Rad. It?s did come with several rubber shims to choose from. It came loose a few times. I had to use loc-tite to keep it fixed. I?m guessing the threads on the clamp are not quite within tolerance.

Mine is the Gub plus 6, all metal,  except it came with a rubber attachment that goes underneath the main holder. The problem is the thumb screw to secure the phone loosens constantly.
I live in a area where 3 Native American tribes actually took there canoes to a place  called Council point.
They conspired with outside elements to take over Fort Detroit,  they did
So, short story long, I was going to see Henry Fords mistress horse track.

  I found it, did my bike get me there, no, did I lose my phone yes.

Ah, Your talking about the knurled nut that clamps the phone. Ok, yeah, I have to really crank it down but I'm also nor riding off-road. So far on the pavement it has come loose but I also check it occasionally while riding.
