Final Year Product Design

Mount designs and testing

This past week I have been constantly developing the mounting system, alongside a few members of my target market. I have created multiple revisions of the design to ensure it is held tightly to the bike and easy to attach.

The testing has shown me that simple is better. Some of the complex original designs proved too weak and broke during testing, others were almost impossible to remove from the bike without breaking them…

I will now be working on MK8 of my mount design, which will employ a new hinge system which will wrap around the chainstay bar.
