My work is mostly inspired by long distance riding/racing from my randonneuring experiences and two 450k gravel races.
I was annoyed with the lack of configurable mounts to things like aero bars and huge battery banks that were not designed with cyclists in mind.
So, I started teaching myself CAD and 3d printing. These are still WIP, but I have been working on smaller "go-pro"mounted battery banks (600-1000mah) for lights or computers as well as fully integrated units that Im still ironing out designs on.
Ive also been 3d printing molds for forged carbon parts as I have some experience with 'glass/carbon from my old boat building days. So far, Ive only made a test mold of a small 8mm wrench and used pure glass, but the result was extremely promising.
I hope to start sending out test mounts soon to a few people that want one and will put them through their "paces" (had to do it). Once those tests are passed, I might spin up a simple online page, easy ordering, very fair pricing as this is just fun for me.
