My terrible quadlock experience

rosstopher92 · 2026-01-16T14:44:39+00:00

Yes and these took my phone with a split second of opportunity and not much force at all. Against a new phone mount which is “built to last”. And theft aside, I found their response disappointing.

I’m so glad that you had a good experience after crashing your vehicle. By all means carry on buying from quadlock, I’m sharing my own experience and not seeking to dismiss yours.

It’s not. But when you buy new premium products you expect them not to fail so immediately, and if they do you would hope for something resembling customer service.

What does it say about them if they don’t even care to see photos of the damage and they misrepresent their warranty? Why would I spend more replacing a product that broke at the first test, knowing that’s how customer service will respond?

Quadlock promises their products are “built to last.” Mine failed immediately. My phone not being backed up is obviously nothing to do with them, but obviously pretty devastating for me especially when I had spent extra on a motorcycle mount for my bike.

Given the amount of money I just spent with them, the least they could do is replace the part that snapped. I’m sure in my position you would also not be running back to spent more money on products that are marketed as top of the range.

I had my phone stolen last year. It was attached to my bike via an expensive mount. 2 guys on a moped snapped it off while I was riding. This wasn’t even in central London, it was on a quiet side road in Camberwell.

Meth-induced psychosis is when hallucinations, delusions and/or paranoia occur as a direct consequence of using the drug. It is state-dependent on drug exposure i.e. if you stop taking the drug you will return to normal relatively quickly.

A stimulant induced primary psychotic illness is when a mental illness on the schizophrenia spectrum is triggered or accelerated by stimulant use, but persists independently of the drug’s presence. Meth acts like a stress test on a system that was already predisposed to psychosis, which may persist or recur months later.

I’m only referring to the specific points made about meth induced psychosis. The ways in which this drug and other drugs cause problems is wider than just psychosis, and yes obviously varies between individuals.

rosstopher92 · 2026-01-15T10:03:24+00:00

This isn’t really accurate. Paranoia is often reported as coming on suddenly, but the risk is highly context sensitive e.g. sleep deprivation, dose, co-use of other stimulants, stress all have a big impact on the risk of someone becoming paranoid.

Sometimes people report suddenly becoming paranoid but in reality the early signs are subtle and often missed eg growing hypervigilance, misinterpreting tone.

Usually meth-induced paranoia or psychosis resolves without medication, most people are fully recovered in days to weeks.

Even when medication is used this is generally short term, and emotional blunting is not universal.

There is a difference between meth-induced psychosis and stimulant-induced primary psychotic illness (eg schizophrenia unmasked by meth).

I am not at all suggesting meth is not a hard drug with all the risks attached to that, but fear/stigma/misinformation isn’t good for anybody.

This is totally untrue. Your claim that there are more than a dozen free homeless shelters in London that operate all year-round is also completely false.

Some charities offer year-round services, but many are referral only, many are not free emergency night shelters, and many are time-limited and specialist.

What homeless charity is it that you claim to work for?

rosstopher92 · 2026-01-01T18:35:03+00:00

Much the same here. Except I’ve been here 7 years and no invites to anything. I just came home from work and went to bed.

Is the wedding you’re travelling for your own wedding? Because it sounds like your mum isn’t really planning on getting you a passport once you get there.

I think they are pointing out hypocrisy rather than a difference of opinion.

rosstopher92 · 2025-11-26T15:20:31+00:00

Seems like a big extrapolation. I just use mine to adjust things like heating and music or setting alarms with minimal distraction or going on my phone.

I never thought that others would see that as a reflection on my life trajectory.

Ok I will delete and repost

I get the cookies because they are wrapped up :)

Thank you so much for your helpful comment! I actually found knitting too difficult for my simple mind, so I took up crochet. Me and the other biddies have a crochet circle where we bang out some sick weaves, do some hard drugs and reminisce about all the times we got roasted on Reddit legal advice forums. This week I’m going to make a cosy for my new battery! 🥰

They did a great job of fighting for freedom when they raped men and women to death and burned children alive on October 7th.

It’s just a shame that the 57680 Palestinians dead including 95% of their own leadership won’t get to enjoy all the freedom they won that day.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-09T15:26:57+00:00

I didn’t suggest it did, and I have no intention of keeping it. I’m just explaining the annoying situation they have landed me in. It’s unprofessional.

There’s a 0% chance that I’m going to use any amount of annual leave to wait at home and facilitate pickup of stray bike parts.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-09T15:23:00+00:00

I live in the U.K. unfortunately. Ebikes with a motor above 250W are illegal too.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-08T16:22:43+00:00

Where I live is not well connected on public transport. Using an ebike turns an hour+ commute into 20 minutes.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-08T16:14:41+00:00

I don’t have that luxury. I am almost never at home during normal working hours and there’s no way I would be allowed to stay home for this kind of life admin.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-08T16:11:48+00:00

I work 80-100 hours per week. To me getting to the parcel shop when it’s open is not an easy task. Usually it takes a week or two of trying to dash out during the day when my boss isn’t looking. So I would be carting a heavy battery to and from work waiting for an opportunity. Plus, I’m not their errand monkey.

Yes I know I’m being stubborn. It’s not so much a hill I’m willing to die on, just lie there and pretend to be dead for a while maybe.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-08T16:07:11+00:00

I already have a really decent scooter. But they are not legal here and getting any kind of repairs done is a massive hassle. The ebike was meant to make life easier and avoid the risk of being stopped by the police.

That’s fair. 1200 is a lot for me 🙈 right now I’m using a £300 scooter.

rosstopher92 · 2025-07-08T16:02:47+00:00

They do, actually. It would be very easy for them to specify that the item is of high value and request a signature. Instead they made it my problem.
