Description

| BASIC DESCRIPTION |
  • this is an adapter for cyclocomputer SIGMA BC 14.16 STS - maybe it works on some other models, but I have tested only this one
  • I made it so that I can have my cyclocomputer in the middle of my bike
  • it is made so that it fits ON the stem cap - you do not want to remove it - this is just an add on
  • it's a quick print

 

| DESIGN DECISIONS |

  • it is designed so that it is practicly invisible when the cyclocomputer is in the adapter
  • also, as this tipe of bike computer requires the connection to be made between the two pins - the design has a cutout so that you can place a bit of soldering wire that will make that connection
  • it was made for my GIANT Contend AR1 but it should fit on most stem caps that have the bolt that has tapered sides on the head (45°)

 

| PRINT SETTINGS |

  • supports are needed - print in orientation that the file is in

 

  • General settings:
    • 0,15 mm layer height
    • 10% Cubic infill - it should be enough
    • brim (if you think you need it)
    • 2 perimeters

 

| ASSEMBLY |

      1_Test the fit on the bike

  • Test it on your bike to make sure that everything fits

      2_Solder the connection

  • Take a bit of the soldering wire, put it through the holes from the back - leave at least 3 mm of wire sticking from the holes on the upper side. Make sure that the wire is in one piece - there should be dirrect connection between the pins.
  • Solder the connections - don't worry if the solder is sticking out from the surface - you can smooth it with a little bit of sandpapper.

      3_Unscrew the stem cap

  • Unscrew it and take the bolt out - do not remove the cap, this adapter is not a replacement for it - it is only an add on

      4_Put the adapter on the stem cap

  • Put the adapter on the stem cap and screw the two pieces together firmly but not too tight

      4_Test

  • Test if everything works as intended - the adapter has a classic twist lock

 

Happy riding! ;)
