Assembly Instructions

Mounting the Printed Parts to the Bicycle Seatpost:

• Components Needed:
  • 3D-printed holder and mudguard components.
  • Screws (5 mm diameter or less, preferably stainless steel for corrosion resistance).
  • Matching screw nuts.
• Steps:
  • Align the printed holder's mounting points with the seatpost.
  • Secure the holder using screws and nuts, tightening them evenly to avoid misalignment.
     

Gluing the Bottle Cap:

• Components Needed:
  • 1.5L bottle cap.
  • Strong adhesive (e.g., epoxy or industrial plastic glue).
• Steps:
  • Clean both the bottle cap and the slot in the dispenser to ensure strong adhesion.
  • Apply adhesive to the inside edges of the slot.
  • Firmly press the bottle cap into the slot, ensuring it is flush and aligned.
  • Allow the adhesive to cure for the recommended time before proceeding. 

Attaching and Replacing the Bottle:

• Steps:
  • Take a clean, empty 1.5L plastic bottle.
  • Screw it onto the glued bottle cap until tightly secured.
  • Position the bottle over the rear wheel, ensuring it aligns with the mudguard’s deflection path.
  • Replace the bottle as needed when it becomes dirty or worn.
