Travel Trac Tablet and Book Caddy

Perfect for my trainer. The size is just right - any smaller and it wouldn't hold a magazine well - any larger and it would be cumbersome. I expected that I'd have to do a little customizing as all bike handlebars are different. I tie strapped a rolled-up towel to the back of my caddy and the angle is now perfect. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Cheap, badly designed piece of junk. Takes two people to mount it: one to hold it steady, the other to delicately position the threaded screw that theoretically screws against the handlebar tube. Is it secure when positioned correctly and tightened? NO. Will it stay in place if the tray is jostled? No. The adjustment screw is about the same diameter as a ball-point pen refill (i.e., narrow) and needs to be tightened against a FLAT secure base, not a round handlebar tube, where it tends to slip to one side or the other and the entire apparatus clatters to the floor (along with your tablet). Bad design, chintzy mounting pieces. Makes me wonder whether the entire brand (Travel Trac) is full of hidden cheapness and bad design. Not a trustworthy brand, and I'd buy something else instead of this.

Pros: It's certainly handy and it serves its intended purpose well. Super easy to "install" (if you'd even have to call it that). Tilting feature seems to work nicely so far and the calibration of the tension seems good...it's stiff enough to hold itself at whatever angle you desire, but easy enough to move with one hand while riding. It's big enough to hold an iPad...

Cons: It's just barely big enough to hold an iPad with only about an inch or less remaining on either side. Ideally, I wish it were about four inches wider so that I could have my cell phone on there as well. It's not deep enough to hold a book, so if you were thinking about using it to try to read while riding, it simply won't work for that. Also, you may potentially have an issue placing your bike computer on your handlebar after you've installed it; I was able to manage to relocate mine (just barely), but there was not enough room on my wife's bike (narrower handlebar).

The Tablet is best suited for racing or spin style bikes not those with a more traditional upright position of the handle bars. However I was able to modify it so it would work
