Description
This is my attempt at a low profile and ‘minimum of components needed’ bicycle wall mount.
The weight of the bicycle is supported on the wheels while a hook and chain keep it close to the wall or post.
A total of five 5.3mm screws will be needed. Two for each wheel bracket and one for the chain attachment bracket.
The wheel brackets should be placed at a slight angle, such the bicycle will roll and sit between them.
Placement of the hook and chain is up to individual tastes and the style of the bicycle. There is a extender chain link included if the bicycle needs to lean further away from the wall.
I have tried to keep the amount of support structure to a minimum, with both chain designs requiring none. However, in order to maximise the strength of the wheel brackets, they need to printed on their sides. This causes support structure to be needed around the screw holes.
Printing Details
I did my test prints at 0.3mm layer thickness using PLA. The Wall bracket took 3 hours 14 minutes, Hook and chain took just over 2 hours and the chain repeater about the same.
