Heavy Duty 1UP Bike Rack Easy Pull handle

Thought I would design a more robust EZ pull handle for the 1up Heavy Duty bike rack. Everything was modeled for standard sized hardware, not metric; If there is enough interest, I can design parts to accommodate metric hardware as well. I printed these parts in Prusament PC-CF but I would recommend PETG or better since bike racks tend live in the elements. 

You will need to print Qty 2 each of “bike rack clamp 1” and “bike rack clamp 2”.

See below for a shopping list of hardware:

Qty 2 - 3/8" solid aluminum rod - 16.25" for a 2 bike rack, less for a 1 bike rack and more for higher capacity bike racks

Qty 2 - ¼-20 x 1" stainless socket head cap screws - These hold the handle to the rods

Qty 2 - ½-13 x 1" stainless bolts to hold the intermediate brackets in place

Qty 4 - 10-32 x 1.5" stainless socket head cap screws - These hold the clamp brackets to the 1up pull bar

Qty 2 - 10-32 stainless steel lock nuts - These hold the clamp brackets to the 1up pull bar

You will also need some way to drill and tap the ends of the 3/8" aluminum rod to fit the ¼-20 and 10-32 hardware. Obviously a lathe is ideal but I 3D printed some drill bushings that worked out OK. A small bit of grease will help immensely on the moving parts to make the handle easier to operate. 

Happy printing!
