Ortlieb Ultimate Six Adapter for Brompton V.2

Description

Ortlieb – Brompton Adapter! Allows you to adapt the Ortlieb Ultimate Six Classic and similar sized handlebar bags by Ortlieb to the Brompton front carrier block.

This is V.2 which is lighter than V.1. I have tested V.2 for hundreds of kilometres and it has held up great. Due to the different geometries, V.1 is objectively stronger but V.2 is certainly capable of carrying the 5kg that is recommended by Ortlieb. Reduced material use and print time means I can offer V.2 at a lower price than V.1.

Features:

• Weight: ~130g
• The standard colour is Black
• PETG.
• Two holes for threading paracord for a pull handle.

Customization options (for an additional fee):

• Colour.
• Etching, names, etc. The surface can be modified to include writing or design subject to certain printing constraints.
• I can make it shorter for smaller bags or longer to clear dynamos.

Instead of spending £230+ on a discontinued Brompton Mini O Bag off eBay, you can get a bag with similar size and functionality for a fraction of the price!

Note: Some people have expressed concerns over the strength of 3D printed parts. I have designed channels in my adapter to insert parts with the layer lines orienting a different direction. These channels cross over points of failure that I have seen in other adapters and will prevent cracks from forming over time or catastrophic part breakage.

Furthermore, the Ortlieb Ultimate Six Classic, which I have been using this adapter for, is only rated for 5kg. I do not recommend you go over that 5kg for the sake of the bag and adapter.

What I love about 3D printing is that it is relatively easy to make modifications to the design for specific needs. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know at [email protected]

Customization options in terms of specific colours and even logo etching (subject to design constraints) are an option for an additional fee. If you are interested please send me an email for more details. The standard colours are black and translucent blue but I can print almost any colour.
