Universal Bike Handlebar Mount

pinshape

This project came about as a way to simplify the process of attaching random pieces of equipment to my son's bike handlebars. He loves building all sorts of small projects, but the toughest part is always securing them firmly without making it difficult to remove and upgrade them later. Plus, even if they fit on his bike, would they fit on another one? First, attach the two center bar clamps on either side and as close to the center post as possible. I used a 3/16" x 1" bolt and nut to secure the clamps, but you may want to go with something longer, like 1 1/4". Loosely bolt them in place without tightening them yet. Next, place the clampbar over the handlebar clamps and center it. Then, tighten down the bar clamp bolts. The clampbar has multiple attachment points all over its surface to attach various items. Clip the clips over the posts to secure the entire assembly in place. If you want to remove the assembly, just take off the clips and pull out the clampbar while leaving the handlebar clamps where they are. To ensure sturdy parts, I recommend printing with two shells, 25% infill, and .3mm layers.
