Last week, during a mountain bike training, my old bike computer broke. So I decided to make another one much better, with many functions, wireless and especially easy to use !!!

What's more intuitive with infinite functions than a phone? Obviously a phone! So this idea was born... Just follow these simple steps. Here we go!

Supplies

  • mini phone (you have to be sure that in the phone there is GPS!)
  • Cover for phone (included with the phone)
  • 3d printed support
  • Strap tape
  • A small piece of bike tube

Design and Print the Support

I designed this holder in Fusion 360. You can download it by this link https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4620335/files or by the stl file below

Cut the Strap Tape and Connect the Cover With the Holder

The piece of bike tube is extremely useful for a good grip !

Once the support is hooked, turn on the mini phone and connect it to mobile data using the normal phone hotspot.

Now you can download a bike computer app using the Play Store

Enjoy Your Amazing Bike Computer !

You can use it as mp3, you can connect your headphones to listen to music during training, you can consult with maps and anything you can do with a phone!
