Handlebar Windshield

In the colder months I still enjoy riding my bicycle but even if i layer up my fingers end up frozen. The direct wind on them breaks right through my gloves so I decided to make a cover to block the wind and keep my fingers warm.

Supplies

Cr-10 3d printer + bicycle. Optional: 4 M3 screws, 4 M3 nuts, Fusion 360 software

Find Your Dimensions

Your bicycle may vary slightly from mine with handle bar size. To get the right size clamp you need to find the diameter of your handlebar. I attached the wind shield directly to the metal handle bar so I measured the bar diameter. If you choice to clamp it down you have a lot of wiggle room to tighten the windshield to the bike.

Edit the Fusion File

This step is only required if your handle bar has a different diameter than mine. Open the Fusion 360 file and edit step 1 to change it to the correct diameter. Adjusting this dimensions will automatically update the the Wind Shield clamp diameter. I would add 0.05 to 0.1cm for tolerance.

Pretty simple: print the handle bar covers on whatever machine you have.

Afix the Windshield

Remove grip from handlebar. Then slide the windshield on to the handlebar. Use two M3 screws and two M3 nuts to tighten the windshield to the bicycle.

Enjoy

Hopefully this will keep fingers all around warm. It is up to you if you want to add the grips back on. They don't fit all the way one but the gripps still work. Have fun riding when it randomly snows!
