B'Twin Hoptown 500 Lock and Bottle holder

thingiverse

Hey buddies! Here is the last version of my Lock and Bottle holder for the Hoptown 500 bike from B'Twin (what an amazing bike!). It's specifically designed to fit the B'Twin U 900 Mini lock and the B'Twin 550 mL bottle. The lock is super easy to attach and remove from the holder - just slide it in! The bottle clicks right onto the holder by simply pushing it, and you can unclip it while riding without any fuss. Before installing, make sure to add some felt pads inside each corner of the two main printed parts (check out the picture). This will prevent any vibration when installed on the bike and help slide the holder forward and backward on the frame to free up the lock. To install the holder, start by placing the 3 clips into their pockets on the "Lock" printed part (see picture). Then, attach the "Lock" part to the bike frame. Begin by putting the bottom part under the frame, ensuring all cables fit snugly inside the dedicated spacing. Once you've done that, simply push the top part over the top of the bike frame. It should clip around the frame without breaking the printed piece. Be gentle but firm while pushing the top part (don't be afraid to really push it). After installing the "Lock" part, attach the "Bottle" part in the same way and slide it against the "Lock" part. The clips should fit perfectly into their corresponding pockets, depending on your 3D printer's tolerance. If they don't quite match up, use a small piece of sandpaper to get them just right. You can then add some rubber bands on top and bottom of the holder to secure the two parts together. If the lock doesn't slide in smoothly, a tiny bit of sandpaper will do the trick. I hope you find this useful - I've been using it for a month now, every day, and it hasn't budged even on bumpy roads! Have a great print and a wonderful day!
