Wow. Beautiful layup and finish. If I needed a saddle, I'd pay for something that looked like that.

Can somebody with a 3-D printer please print a bracket to carry my bell super2 Chin bar on rides? Just saying don’t know why it ain’t out there yet.

If you don't want it bad enough to pay someone else to design and make it, that's probably ONE reason why you haven't seen it in the real world yet, and the OTHER reason is probably that nobody else has wanted one that bad, either Wink

I'm sure I can design and print what you want, but ya gotta be willing to pay for it. Show me the money and I'll make it happen.

Give me some dimmensions, where you'd want it mounted (if its a pack, what kind) and I can probably designing something fairly quickly for a quick 1st draft!

Yes, will probably make another with a carbon/red kevlar top for my dj, should match the red anodized bits some. And then others that will be lighter and put on xc and cross bikes.

Anyone have any 3d print files for a chainwhip, or cassette removal tool?

Its worked for a bunch of tools I've printed. My university has a stratasys printer, and the parts it produces are super sturdy!

Not trying to be a dick but if a plastic tool can get your cassette lockring off, it was probably way too loose to begin with....that's a very thin tool that sees a shitload of torque.

To be honest, you're probably right, but I may try just to see if it would work for the rare occasion i need to take my cassette off to deep clean or to replace it. Its just one of those tools that I don't use enough to justify purchasing, and since the university doesn't charge for material, i figured, why not try, haha

The chainwhip isn't a big deal to home fabricate. No need to try printing that. Get an old chain and a piece of flat bar around the same thickness as the space between to of the wide linkplates. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination Smile

A parktool cassette tool is $10 on Amazon, and you can get a whip and lock ring tool for under 15 if you want an off brand.
