The Bike Brew Brews Up 3D-Printed Aero Packs and Accessories

"3D printing has changed the cycling accessory landscape, making it possible for creative people to design and create all sorts of products quickly and efficiently. This is particularly true of road cycling accessories like computer mounts, light mounts, and tool storage boxes, which can be prototyped, tested, tweaked, and brought to production by folks with the equipment and know-how to do so. We've reported extensively on 3D-printed frames, stems, saddles, helmets, and, most recently, on aero storage boxes from Nano Werx."

"The Bike Brew is another small brand throwing its hat in the 3D-printed accessory ring, producing a range of rear light mounts and aero-optimized storage packs. These are intended to replace your saddle bag or other on-bike storage, with aero-shaped, 3D-printed storage compartments designed to pair with Garmin's popular Varia RTL515 radar light. Unlike the Nano Werx draft box, which is currently only available for the Cervelo S5, the Bike Brew's Aero Packs appear to be more versatile in their attachment styles and bike fit."

"At present, The Bike Brew makes two sizes of Aero Packs: the smaller XL 2.0 and the larger MAX. Details on the packs are sparse, as there are no storage capacities or product weights listed on the brand's website. However, the XL 2.0 appears to fit an electric mini-pump, a TPU tube, tire levers, and a small multi-tool as well."

3D printing enables rapid design and production of cycling accessories such as mounts, light mounts, and tool storage boxes. The Bike Brew produces 3D-printed, aero-optimized rear light mounts and storage packs called Aero Packs. Two sizes are available: smaller XL 2.0 and larger MAX. The Aero Packs are designed to fit the Garmin Varia RTL515 radar light, which doubles as the storage compartment cover. The XL 2.0 accommodates an electric mini-pump, a TPU tube, tire levers, and a small multi-tool. The MAX is nearly double the XL's size and includes a lower compartment for snacks and gels. Product weights and capacities are not listed.
