I worked out a a hack for my quad lock when I realised that the hex is only a few mill deep and then opened up to the tube diameter. I looked at the drawing and it clearly indicated, I bought the wrong type for the BB. Doh! Now I’m stuck with it, or am I… The small size hex for the quad lock is perfect for the BB, RAM, I don’t know, but from this vid, they seem to work the same, expanding segments as you screw the nut up, being that the nut and under side of the stem are wedge shaped to push the segments out in parallel. On the quad lock, if you turn the nut around such that the flat side is against the segments and not the wedge, as you tighten up the bolt, the segments splay out under the head like a tripod. On the nut end, due the the pivot angles, it pushes the segments towards the centre such that they don’t slip off the nut and becomes self locking on the final tighten, as the tighter you make it, the harder the segments bight into the thread at the nut end of business. Effectively, it becomes like a 3 leg wall plug, just like with a plaster wall. Just come back from an Alpine round trip with an iPhone 7 and a charge cable hangin off it as a road test… Rock solid!
Gday mate, thank you for your comment and apologies for not responding I never got a notification that I received a comment, will have to check my settings. You’ve probably found one by now but i bought the mount on eBay. Cheers
Very good hack, what if we made the same with a shoulder that sits on top, that way it is secured and held in place within stem
