bike carrier

thingiverse

Updated to include a thing which will store a bar flat when the bak-rak is folded up. Also modified ramp hinge to print vertically. Could not find anything suitable for carrying my fat bike outside my campercan which did not require lifting further than I wanted or removing a wheel. Bought a bak-rak base and a sheet of plywood and got creative from there. Used M8 rods, nuts and bolts and some 1inch sqare tube for frame uprights. Plywood board also acts as a neat ramp to get things like washing machines into the van, The bak-rak can be folded vertical without the bikes and uprights on board so the van gets shorter. The fat bike is slightly longer than the van is wide so have angled the front wheel holder. Printable things are:- Wheel Stand, a thing that a wheel can stand in, can be bolted down and a strap fed underneath Nut Spinner, a twiddler so that you can tighten a nut withut a spanner. Bar Holder, holds a square bar uprights with holes for a locking pin, 5 different bolt hole options 2 lock pin options. I found only 2 bolts were necesary and managed to use one of the bolts to fix to the base rak. Bar Spacer, a thing which will hold a square bar a set distance away from something you can put a bolt through. In this case the bak-rak headboard. End Stop, a cap for the end of a square bar. Hinge Thing, will hold a square bar normal to an M8 rod which acts as a hinge so the bar can be dropped over the bikes to be fastened to nother upright. Hinge Cap, a cap for the uprights that hold the M8 rod. Lock Down, a thing which captures the horizontal bar so that it can be locked to an upright bar. Board Hinge, a thing that can be fastened to a board to allow a hinged ramp to be fastend to the carrier for when I'm cream crackerd. Or have to redesign for a mobility scooter in the forseeable but hopefully distant future. Inner nut/washer, things which hold an M8 rod inside a square bar with an option for a capruted nut. Square Ring, a stitchable square ring for attaching a rain cover to uprights.
