This is a remix of the mtb bracket shown on Seths Bike Hacks.  This bracket is to be mounted to a wall where the bike tire can be inserted to hold bike in upright position. 

Compared to the original this model adds: 

  • Holes for #8/#10 pan head wood screws to simplify mounting
  • A variety of pre-made sizes for common sizes between 32mm and 2.6in (all supplied in mm)
  • Holes for securing (designed around a Voile strap) for long term or more secure storage
  • STEP file and Onshape link for easier user modification of sizes. 
    • The file uses one variable (width of flat back area) to scale the model to both width and depth (height stays constant). This will work better for certain tire profiles than others.

Notes on printing: 

I recommend draft printing a few sizes closet to your tires measured size. For these, print ~5mm of height for each bracket so you can quickly test fit. You want something that easily snaps over the tire – it gets stiffer as you print the full size so you don't want too tight a fit.

Filament choice and level of infill will determine how spring-y it is. I'm using PLA+ with 4 walls at 20% infill. I wouldn't go below 20%, but due to print orientation even that level seems plenty strong. Consider a more thermally stable material than PLA if using in a space like an uninsulated garage.
