About this deal
My seatpost has a diameter of 27.2mm, but I found that the Maco didn’t tighten enough to secure it firmly in place, so I added a small strip of rubber padding underneath the Maco’s spacer, securing it in place. That means friction is the only thing securing it. Could it pop out when you land a drop or rattle your way over choppy trails? There’s only one way to know for sure. Still, a low-cost threshold might justify trying it out — especially depending on how much you spent on your bike. Like other bottle-mounted AirTag holders, the Slottr can fit beneath a bottle cage, making it harder for a thief to spot. In addition, the Slottr is supplied with standard M4 (4mm) hex screws, meaning it could easily be removed if your bike was stolen. Bicycle theft is depressingly common, with 77,148 bikes reported stolen in England and Wales during 2022/23.
Is it easy for thieves to remove? Some mounts come with tamper-resistant Torx screws making it impossible for thieves to open or remove them. Also, when riding busy Urban Streets, you’ll often need to be heard to be seen, which is where the AirBell comes in handy.I found the easiest way to open the Slottr was to drop it from a low height onto a table.Not the most refined operating procedure. The Slottr is made from a highly durable plastic which is designed to last and prevent your AirTag from rattling thanks to its well-designed internal compartment. The one downside of this mount is that it’s slightly more fiddly to attach due to the mounting position, but once it’s in place, you’ll have no issues.
Will it fit on your bicycle? Not all AirTags are a perfect fit. Make sure the one you select is not moving around or unable to properly attach to your bicycle. If you don’t have long nails, It can be fiddly to open the Slottr, which doesn’t have a notch in the side for easy access like the Woo Mount.Functioning as a traditional bike bell, hitting 85dB, the AirBell sits proudly on your handlebars, perfectly concealing your AirTag underneath and alerting others of your presence on the road.
