ChrisF Posted March 26 Share 22 minutes ago, Kom said: I like this design, but the bikes don’t work in this orientation, I don’t want to remove seatposts. The moment you turn the bikes you can’t use the rail, mount options limited. I think my design is optimal for my needs. SUV's are not tall enough for extended seat posts. With a MTB the dropper seat post helps 👍 Certainly no one size fits all. I must have spent many hours moving the bikes about before settling on my layout.

Kom Posted March 27 Share Looks like a winner after adding alot more footprint and material. destructive tests succeeded, lets see how it lasts with some long term use. Wayne Potgieter, Jono, Vetplant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great. Maybe add a couple of gussets... Vetplant and Kom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo Posted March 27 Share I bought some of these brackets off Temu, way cheaper than Holdfast and decent quality. https://share.temu.com/HAeFwInTRFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You took the thought straight out my head @Jono 👏🏼 V3 will definitely have the gussets and a slight raise on the axle height, i may have shaved to close to the bone for the Crux, the Diverge didnt fit.

How have you used these mounts? The axle mount is quite high from the base plate, that 30mm counts for internal bike usage. Assuming you're using for a bakkie.

hansolo Posted March 28 Share Items arrived and delivered to my work by a courier. Using them in the back of a bakkie, my previous mounts was higher from the baseplate than these and they have more axle adaptors. Quite a bit cheaper than Holdfast and if it can work for you it might be an option. Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave303e Posted March 28 Share All this makes me think is that more people need to learn how to weld. Take 4 offcuts of 5mm flat bar cut with a grinder, weld them together and drill the appropriate holes and you have a similar mount for next to nothing cost wise...

But there is a time and a place for a 3d printed plastic part, and then there is a place to take out a welder and grinder and do it with steel/aluminum. One of my favorite gadgets is a little 3d printed dust catcher for when you drill holes in walls, I have 3 different sized ones and they are perfect for it. I have also printed a few cones to turn 40 litre buckets into fly traps on the farm. But when you have 10kg of bike(and many thousand rands) mounted with plastic and you have an accident, it won't be fun having that bike come join you in the front seat because the mount is made of plastic. That is more the concern I had with the above. Vetplant, Kom and ChrisF 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Posted April 9 Share Hi all I am wanting to get the following 3d printed. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/knot-handlebar-garmin-support Is anyone here able to assist in printing, or able to recommend a place to print for me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be very cautious using this design for anything heavier than a 530/540. The 1030/1040 would definitely break that on a rough surface. Attached images are a replica of the canyon 3D mount which took quite a bit to break in the stress test, but honestly my discovery on resonance based breaks makes me doubtful on these use cases, and they look ugly on a nice bike.
