Smartphone racing bike mount
What is the nature of your use? Using apps like strava and the like or using maps for navigation or something else? When I go on long ride and want to record it. I just put my phone in a ziplock baggy and into my jersey pocket.

My stem keeps moving side to side even thought I tighten it
Use a vernier caliper to measure the diameter of your stem and the head tube. If they aren't compatible, you may break the thread on the stem and still not be able to hold the fork in proper place.

Could I have damaged the bearings/cone when replacing a tire? Front wheel wobbles side to side
@Daniel/@Gary- I brought it in to the lbs, the lock nuts were loose. I hadn't ridden after I observed the wobble. There was very light scarring on the cone, looked like a line. LBS said it was safe to use after applying grease and tightening it up. Thanks for saving my hub.

Why are some bikes sold without pedals?
Clip-less pedals are not cheap, most retail around $50 or more. It won't be an easy choice for bike companies to put a particular style of clip-less pedals.
