Note: Here is an updated version!

On my Wahoo Kickr Core, mounted on Tennisballs, I always felt that my hands have a lot more stress, as on the street. After a bit of thinking it was clear to me that I raised the backend by about 50% of the height of a Tennisball, but not the front.

I know there are a lot of static front wheel mounts, but if I have Tennisballs on the back which can move in all directions, I didn't want the the front static wheel mount to rub over my floor, or limit the Tennisball movement with rubber under the front mount.

Therefor I designed this.

Mainly I designed it for my 700x40C tires, but I also added versions for 700x28C and 700x33C. It has slots for mounting the wheel with up to 30mm width strap, like on bike racks for the car.

I added the fusion file as well, with parameter for the tire width. It will only work up to 40mm tires, if you need it for bigger tires you might want to remove or update the bike strap slots.

Print notes:

I printed it with 0.4mm nozzle MK4S 0.28mm Draft Profile, Snug Support everywhere and 10% gyroid infill, using PETG, but PLA should also be fine.
