Bicycle Handlebar Mount/Bracket (Sized for Trek 7.3 Fx Bontrager Blendr Stem System)

thingiverse

After I made stubs to fit the Bontrager Blendr mounting system on my Trek 7.3 FX bicycle, I started feeling bad that my husband's bike didn't have a similar built-in system, so I built a mount for his bicycle to fit the stubs I had created (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1502511). I couldn't guarantee that this would fit the actual brand-name stubs, but it did fit the stubs I designed to fit the brand-name mount on my own bicycle, so I didn't see why it wouldn't. UPDATE 4/25/16: I wasn't happy with my original design, so I completely redone the connection between the bracket and collar to make it sturdier using a GoPro-type 2-to-3 tab connecting system. It prints in three parts: the "collar" is the part that fits around the bike frame (sized for my husband's Trek 8.3 DS), and since I hadn't learned to do the Customizer thing, you'd have to pull that into your favorite 3D modeling program to change it to whatever will fit your bike. The bracket prints in two pieces, upper and lower, that are glued together using ABS glue. The assembled bracket mounts to the collar using an M3 bolt and nut. The finished mount is much more solid than before. I was planning to modify the bracket to print in one piece instead of two but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I'm including the two variations of my stub design here so you can download the whole system at once. They're also available separately at the URL listed above. Both have slots to accommodate a velcro strip. The curved one is meant for mounting a flashlight, and I like to coat the curved surface with rubber stuff you can buy to dip tool handles in for a better grip. The flat one can be ABS-glued to a phone case or whatever else you want to print to attach to it.
