Executive Summary
Almost every cyclist – at some point – has a need to carry their bicycle on their car. Be it a trip
to a road race or hauling their bike to the repair shop, they want their bike rack to be compact
and easy to use. They want the destination to be the focus of the trip, not a clunky bike carrier.
The T-Sqwrd bike rack addresses problems seen on current bike racks with a unique approach to
bicycle support.
Problem Definition
Problem Scope
Many cyclists are required to transport their bicycles to different locations for events or just to
see different geographies and typically rely on a hitch or trunk mounted bicycle carrier. Many of
these carriers are fraught with problems that make the act of taking a bicycle seem like a chore.
The T-Sqwrd encourages cycling more often because it eliminates the burdens of typical carriers
and blends seamlessly into the cyclist’s life.
Technical Review
Both professional and amateur cyclists need the ability to easily mount their bicycles on their
cars. They expect for their bicycles to be safely secured to their vehicles in many different
situations, from hauling it through a city center to take it for service to taking it through a
winding, dirt road for a camping trip. The commonality here is that the rack should not be the
center of attention. The sole purpose of the rack is to support the user on their trip.
There are three common varieties of bike racks for passenger vehicles: hitch, roof and trunk
mounted.
Hitch Mounted
Existing hitch mounted bicycle racks either support the bicycle’s weight at the top tube
or at the bottom of the two wheels.
Top Tube Support
Supporting the bicycle at the top tube is the cheapest and simplest solution. The
bicycles are free to swing as the vehicle accelerates and brakes so there aren’t
any moments translated on the rack. Another advantage to this style of rack is
that it isn’t dependent on any of the bike’s lower geometries. This can be a big
advantage with some eBikes and mountain bikes with rear suspensions. The
biggest disadvantage to this style of bike rack is that it is very dependent on the
top tube’s geometry and is often incompatible with some eBike frames, women’s
frames, composite frames, and mountain bike frames.

Figure 1: Thule Helium Aero hitch mounted carrier ($349.99)
To combat incompatibility with various top tube geometries, some companies sell
a device that creates a horizontal connection point by attaching to the stem and
seat tube. This device brings additional cost, complexity, and carries the bike
lower to the ground than it should be.
Figure 2: Yakima TopTube ($39)
Platform Bike Carrier
Some hitch mounted bike carriers primarily support the bike at the base of the
two wheels with a third connection to the top of the front wheel to keep the bike
from tipping. This type of carrier virtually guarantees bike compatibility and ease
of use because they secure the bikes at the most consistent part of their design:
the wheels. These racks are not reliant on any section of the frame geometry so
they’re a great choice for users with composite frames or mountain bikes.
Because these types of carriers already have a platform, they often also offer a
foldable ramp to make loading heavy bikes easier.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 5
Platform bike carriers typically have the highest cost, complexity, and bulk of the
hitch mounted carriers. Many platform carriers are not designed to fold down as
compactly as their top tube counterparts making it difficult to store. Those that
are able to fold down often come with exorbitant costs as we see with the $699
Thule EasyFold.
Figure 3: Thule EasyFold 9032 ($699.95)
Trunk Mounted
Trunk mounted bicycle carriers rely on 6 straps (top, bottom, and side of trunk) and 4
soft rests on the trunk surface itself. These racks vary slightly in geometry but uniformly
secure the bike by the top tube and attach to the same sections of the trunk. This type of
rack is very compact to store. It has similar limitations to top tube support bike carriers
in that it attaches to the top tube of the bike and can be incompatible with some bike
frames. Many users also worry about the risk of damaging the car with this type of
carrier. Additionally, these carriers are usually complicated and require time for set up.
Figure 4: Thule Raceway 9001XT ($279.95)
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 6
Roof Mounted
Roof mounted bike carriers are very common because they easily attach to the car’s roof
without much risk of damaging the car. These carriers remove the extra footprint other
designs have, which can be a concern when driving in a city center. The main drawback
of a roof mounted bike carrier is that the cyclist has to lift the bike on top of the vehicle.
For this reason, they are most popular on smaller cars rather than SUVs. Roof mounted
racks either attach to both wheels or to the back wheel and the front dropouts.
Two Wheeled Support
Like the platform hitch rack, this form of support is the most compatible with
different frame geometries. The only downside to this design is that there is less
support for the bike without the front dropout attached to the carrier.
Figure 5: Thule Criterium 598 ($189.95)
Front Dropout & Rear Wheel Support
This form of support, which relies on the front dropout for both longitudinal and
lateral support is very rigid. It also makes the bike less attractive to thieves as the
wheel is usually stored inside the vehicle. The main problem with this rack design
is the need to take off and re-install the front wheel when using the rack.

Design Requirements
The primary user need for this product’s success is that it seamlessly integrates into their active
lifestyle. From this user need, we can deduce a number of design requirements:
1. Supports two 60-lb bicycles
2. Weighs less than 144 pounds (more realistically, less than 30-lbs)
3. Must secure the bicycles from road forces and theft
a. Must have infinite life for a 2G bump
b. Must support a 1G acceleration in the side-to-side direction
4. Must be stored in an area that is 14” x 17” x 36”
5. Should be cost competitive with other bike racks
a. Use common aluminum and steel materials
b. Be manufactured using common techniques
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 8
Design Description
Overview
The T-Sqwrd Rack is designed to carry two 60-lb bicycles behind a car using a standard 1.25”
hitch receiver. Unlike many other hitch style bike racks, the bicycles are supported from the
bottom of the frame. The main, weight-bearing support is at the crank tube, where the down
tube, seat tube, and rear drop out originate from. Additional supports for balance, and turning
forces are attached to the down tube, seat tube, and rear drop out.
Figure 7: The T-Sqwrd Rack
Detailed Description
The T-Sqwrd rack needs to support the bicycles from gravity forces, bump accelerations, and
turning accelerations. To do this, it supports the bicycles in four primary locations: at the crank
tube, on the down tube, against the seat tube, and on one chainstay.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 9
Figure 8: T-Sqwrd Part Callout
1. Hitch Rod
Function
The hitch rod’s main functionality is to support the weight of the bikes through
the crank holder and vertical support. This part inserts into the 1.25” square hitch
receiver at the rear of the car. While the size of the hitch receiver is standardized,
its height from the ground is far from normalized. Due to the desired space
constraints, the T-Sqwrd will not work well on vehicles that have a hitch that is
low to the ground.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 10
Figure 9: Geometry of Hitch Rod
Manufacture
Figure 10: Tube Mill Features
Figure 11: Hitch Bar manufacturing process
The hitch bar will be manufactured using a tube mill similar to Figure10 above. Coiled
1045 steel is rolled out and flattened before entering an overhead loop spiral
accumulator. The flattened steel then enters the rollers where it is formed into the
desired thickness before the edges of the strips are heated to a molten state before they
are forged welded together. The member is cooled before entering the squaring stand
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 11
where it is shaped as a 1.25” sided square and cut off by a saw at the desired length.
Afterwards, the hitch bar is placed in a drill press to tap and drill the holes.
2. Crank Holder
Function
The crank holder will relate all of the bicycle’s weight into the hitch rod. The crank
holder directly support the bicycles weight at the crank tube and translates all
dynamic forces through the vertical support. Although not included in the solid
model, the production version would have a medium-density foam on it to cushion
the bicycle’s frame.

The 6061 aluminum alloy crank holders will be molded and finished in a C.N.C.
Liquid 6061 Aluminum Alloy will be poured into a cast iron mold where it will
harden. Afterwards, the piece will be placed into a C.N.C. where the top will be
finished and the holes will be drilled and tapped.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 12
3. Vertical Support
Function
The vertical support is used to support the imbalance of the bike and to resist
dynamic forces. It also offers a loop to secure the bike to the rack using a u-lock.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
Figure 14: Isometric view of Vertical Support
Manufacture
Figure 15: Vertical Support manufacturing process
The easiest way to manufacture this part is to have a cast iron mold of the three
walls and pour liquid aluminum alloy into the mold. After the aluminum alloy
hardens , it is cut down to the desired thickness using a water jet (water jet
cutting is more precise than a laser cutting). Then 6061 aluminum sheet metal is
placed on top of the open-faced, three walled support and both pieces are placed
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 13
in a stamp die to stamp the last wall. The holes are then tapped and drilled in a
drill press before the stamped sheet metal and open-faced, three wall support are
welded together along with the locking loop (which is molded separately).
4. Chainstay Hook
Function
The chainstay hook supports the bicycle’s chainstay and is primarily used to
support the imbalance of the bicycle. It also is where we expect the user to use
this hook to rotate the bike into position on the rack.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
Figure 16: Isometric view of Chainstay Hook
Manufacture
Figure 17: Chainstay Hook manufacturing process
The chain stay hook will be forged using a closed die similar to the Figure 17
above. A strip of steel is enclosed in a die and forged on an anvil in order to
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 14
create a rectangular steel hook. A drill press is used to create the holes for the
M3 bolts and nuts in the hook which is then affixed to the vertical support.
5. Down Tube Hook
Function
The down tube hook supports the bicycle’s down tube and is used primarily to
support the imbalance of the bicycle. It also is primary in translating forces from
the vehicle cornering.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
Figure 18: Isometric view of Down Tube Hook
Manufacture
Figure 19: Down Tube Hook manufacturing process
Similar to the chain stay hook, the down tube hook will also be forged using a
closed die and then put into a drill press to tap and drill the holes. The down tube
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 15
hook also has an anchor which is made by milling a block of 1045 steel down to
the desired shape and welded onto the down tube hook.
6. Seat Tube Rest
Function
The seat tube rest supports the bicycle at the seat tube. It is intended to keep the
bike from rotating at the bottom during acceleration and braking maneuvers.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
Figure 20: Isometric view of Seat Tube Rest
Manufacture
Figure 21: Manufacturing Process for the Seat Tube Rests
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 16
Liquid 6061 Aluminum Alloy will be poured into two cast iron molds and welded
together once it hardens to create the seat tube rests. After the piece is welded
together, the anchor will be milled from a block of 1045 steel and welded to the
seat tube rest.
7. Straps
Function
The rubber straps (roughly modeled in SolidWorks) are attached via the cylindrical
anchors at the seat tube rest and the down tube hook. They are used to keep the
bike from moving in the direction opposite the hook/support. An example of the
style of rubber straps are shown in Figure 21 below.
Geometry
Full Geometry in Appendix
Figure 22: Isometric View of Rubber Straps
Manufacture
Figure 23: Manufacturing Process for Straps
To manufacture the straps, we would use liquid injection molding where liquid
silicone rubber is injected via nozzle into a mold and removed when it solidifies.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 17
This process is extremely fast and allows for high production rates which is
necessary since we need two straps per bicycle rack.
Assembly
The rack will require some assembly after individual part manufacture. The steps are:
1. Connect the Crank Holder and Vertical support with three M4 screws to secure the
two members.
2. Weld the Crank Holder to the Vertical Support.
3. Install Chainstay Hook to Vertical Support with two M3, countersunk machine
screws, two washers, and two nuts. Apply Loctite to nut.
4. Install Down Tube Hook to the Vertical Support with two M3, countersunk machine
screws, two washers, and two nuts. Apply Loctite to nut.
5. Install the Anchor to the Vertical Support with one M3, countersunk machine screw,
one washer, and one nut. Apply Loctite to nut.
6. Put the Seat Tube Support on the Vertical Support and weld them together.
7. Slip each assembled Crank Holder onto the Hitch Rod.
8. Secure the Crank Holders onto the Hitch Rod with M5 machine screws, washers, and
nuts. Each nut should be secured with Loctite.
Use
To use this rack, the hitch bar should be inserted into the receiver and the pin should be
installed. Following the rack installation on the car, the bikes can be placed on the rack and they
should then be secured with the rubber straps. If security is desired, the user can use their U-
Lock to attach the bike frame to the included loop on the vertical support.

Evaluation
Overview
The primary evaluation criterion for the T-Sqwrd is that it seamlessly blends into the life of the
user. To ensure that the rack do this, we have planned a rigorous FEA analysis to ensure the
product will not fail on the user. Additionally, real world durability and user interfaces will be
required before the product should be sold.

Prototype
The primary prototype of our design is a SolidWorks assembly. It contains all relevant parts with
accurate geometries and material properties. Of course, some factor of safety should be
included for inconsistencies in materials and manufacturing. The model is fixture over the
surfaces of the last 5 inches of the hitch rod, which would be inserted into the receiver. The only
portion of the assembly that isn’t perfectly modeled is the rubber strap that secures the down
tube and seat tube. This deficiency is due to an inability to thoroughly model the elastic design
and the rubber material. Real world testing would be needed in this region before the product
should be sold.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 19
Figure 24: Illustration showing the location of the fixtures and where the forces are applied
To ensure the product meets its ultimate goal – to blend seamlessly into the user’s lifestyle – our
team would like to see real world product testing take place at the boundary conditions of the
design. Although the hitch design is well standardized, the forces it exerts on the hitch rod can
vary drastically depending on the vehicle’s wheel base, mass, spring rate, suspension travel, and
damper setup. To ensure the product will keep the bikes safe and secure under all realistic use
conditions, the rack should be subjected to those same conditions and worse until it fails.
Should failure occur in a reasonable use case, that portion of the product needs to be revised.
Testing and Results
2G Bump Factor of Safety & Fatigue Analysis
Introduction
The largest expected forces on our rack are during a bump case. This event is
dependent on the vehicle’s suspension setup and the actual geometry of the
bump on the road. To prevent failure when the rack is in the field, we have
modeled a fairly large bump as a 2G acceleration in the vertical direction. While
the wheel and tire package will accelerate at a greater rate than 2G in many
bump cases, we are making the assertion that the body of the vehicle will be
insulated to an acceleration of less than 2G. This value will be validated in real
world testing.
Test Procedure
To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack:
Y 
X
Z
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 20
Table 2: Loads applied in 2G bump event
Location Magnitude Direction
Inner Crank Holder 120 lb -Y
Outer Crank Holder 120 lb -Y
Inner Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X
Outer Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X
Inner Down Tube Hook 3 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z)
Outer Down Tube Hook 3 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z)
Inner Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Outer Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Entire Assembly Gravity 36.29 lb -Y
Results
The maximum stress in this event is the portion of the rod just before the hitch
support starts. It registers a maximum stress using von Mises of 25.75 ksi.
Factoring in the material properties of the 1045 CD Steel the hitch rod is
constructed of, the lowest FOS is 2.986.
Figure 25: Stress Plot of 2G Bump Event
Discussion
The results of the FEA analysis satisfy the requirement to secure the bicycles to
the vehicle while on the road. As mentioned earlier, this results should be
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 21
validated by some real-world information about vehicle body acceleration over
bumps.
1G Side-to-Side Acceleration FOS
Introduction
To model the loads placed on the rack in a turn, we used a 1G acceleration in
each direction. This is an appropriate maximum load as it serves as a fairly
common max limit of adhesion for road cars with summer performance tires.
Test Procedure
To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack:
Table 3: Loads applied in 1G Turn Event
Location Magnitude Direction
Inner Crank Holder 60 lb -Y
Outer Crank Holder 60 lb -Y
Inner Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X
Outer Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X

Outer Down Tube Hook 60 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z)
Inner Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Outer Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Entire Assembly Gravity 36.29 lb -Y
Results
The resulting max stress is 28.62 ksi. Taking materials into account, the minimum
FOS is 3.145
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 22
Figure 26: Stress Plot for 1G Turn
Discussion
Again, the results of the FEA analysis satisfy the requirement to secure the
bicycles to the vehicle while on the road.
Fatigue Life Evaluation
Introduction
Due to varying road loads, several components on the rack will see cyclical
loading. We did not consider the forces of loading the bicycles to be anywhere
near a fatigue limit. The primary focus is the loading caused by road irregularities
and bumps. We expect the rack to see a large number of these cycles as it is on
the road.
Test Procedure
To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack and a zero based
fatigue study was run to evaluate the life of the rack.
The zero based study is a “worst case” as the bike will not pull up on the crank
holder.
Table 4: Loads applied for 1.5G fatigue analysis
Location Magnitude Direction
Inner Crank Holder 90 lb -Y
Outer Crank Holder 90 lb -Y
Inner Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X
Outer Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 23
Inner Down Tube Hook 3 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z)
Outer Down Tube Hook 3 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z)
Inner Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Outer Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y
Entire Assembly Gravity 36.29 lb -Y
Results
The hitch bar, which is the critically stressed component does have infinite life
under these conditions.
Discussion
This is a pleasing result, as we see that even fairly tough, daily use will not fatigue
the rack and it will go on to serve the user until they no longer want to use it.
Mass Evaluation
Introduction
The mass of the bike rack is critical to the primary goal of integrating into the
user’s life seamlessly. In order for the user to not be bothered by the rack, it
needs to easy to lift and install on the hitch.
Test Procedure
To evaluate the mass of the rack, we selected the appropriate material properties
in SolidWorks and used the Mass Properties Function to determine the weight of
the rack.
Results
All in, the rack weighs 36.29 lb.
Discussion
We consider 36.29 lb to be a very reasonable weight for the rack. It is reasonable
to assume that the user has should have no problem lifting or moving this rack as
its weight is consistent with that of a medium-light bike.
Space Constraint Evaluation
Introduction
Our user will need to store the rack when it isn’t in use so it’s important that it be
easy to store and not take too much of their space up.
Test Procedure
To evaluate the footprint of our rack we used the Measure tool in Solidworks to
see our dimensions.
Results
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 24
Figure 27: Front view showing package dimensions
Figure 28: Bottom view showing package dimensions
Discussion
The resulting assembly does fit into the initially stated size constraints and
shouldn’t take up a huge amount of room in the user’s home.
 
Team Two (Too) Tired 25
Assessment
The T-Sqwrd rack thoroughly and creatively addresses each of the design requirements. The
unique approach of securing the bike frames from the bottom has definitely resulted some
definite advantages and disadvantages that we didn’t see coming.
This rack’s main advantage is that it doesn’t have to make the use of any complicated folding or
telescoping mechanisms to fit into the desired size constraint. These mechanisms are often
complicated and increase cost, decrease rigidity, and can prove unreliable. These traits go
against our goal of blending in with the user’s life. Our users do not want to be burdened by a
stuck hinge due to corrosion.
Another advantage of the rack is that it is compatible with various top tube geometries because
it doesn’t interact with that part of the frame. This advantage, though, can work perfectly for
some users and wouldn’t work at all for others. If the bike user has a bike with uncommon crank
tube geometry, the bike will not be compatible with the rack.
The largest current roadblock to the design’s success is that it carries the bikes close to the
road – in some vehicles the bikes may actually touch the ground. This is a major problem and
could prove to be something that would deem this style of rack a “no go.” There are a number of
things that could be done to address this issue but each brings with it some definite
disadvantages. One solution would be to put a bend in the hitch rod, but this would either
increate the package size or necessitate disassembly or complex mechanisms to keep the form
factor.
Next Steps
The first step that should be taken is a collection of some real world hitch height data. This
should then be collected and modeled with several various bike models to see the distance from
the wheels to the ground in various pairings. If the outcome of this data is that the bikes are too
close to the ground, a decision must be made about scrapping the design or including some
mechanisms to make the design more compact for storage.
Should the design move past the height evaluation stage, a physical prototype should be
manufactured and rigorously tested with various vehicle suspensions systems and in various
environmental conditions. Revisions should be made for any failures.
Following the physical testing stage, the design should be verified and improved using customer
evaluation programs. Further development can also take place with this product to make it more
compatible with other bike designs by making multiple crank holder and down tube hook
designs for purchase.

  • 3.   Team Two (Too) Tired 3 Executive Summary Almost every cyclist – at some point – has a need to carry their bicycle on their car. Be it a trip to a road race or hauling their bike to the repair shop, they want their bike rack to be compact and easy to use. They want the destination to be the focus of the trip, not a clunky bike carrier. The T-Sqwrd bike rack addresses problems seen on current bike racks with a unique approach to bicycle support. Problem Definition Problem Scope Many cyclists are required to transport their bicycles to different locations for events or just to see different geographies and typically rely on a hitch or trunk mounted bicycle carrier. Many of these carriers are fraught with problems that make the act of taking a bicycle seem like a chore. The T-Sqwrd encourages cycling more often because it eliminates the burdens of typical carriers and blends seamlessly into the cyclist’s life. Technical Review Both professional and amateur cyclists need the ability to easily mount their bicycles on their cars. They expect for their bicycles to be safely secured to their vehicles in many different situations, from hauling it through a city center to take it for service to taking it through a winding, dirt road for a camping trip. The commonality here is that the rack should not be the center of attention. The sole purpose of the rack is to support the user on their trip. There are three common varieties of bike racks for passenger vehicles: hitch, roof and trunk mounted. Hitch Mounted Existing hitch mounted bicycle racks either support the bicycle’s weight at the top tube or at the bottom of the two wheels. Top Tube Support Supporting the bicycle at the top tube is the cheapest and simplest solution. The bicycles are free to swing as the vehicle accelerates and brakes so there aren’t any moments translated on the rack. Another advantage to this style of rack is that it isn’t dependent on any of the bike’s lower geometries. This can be a big advantage with some eBikes and mountain bikes with rear suspensions. The biggest disadvantage to this style of bike rack is that it is very dependent on the top tube’s geometry and is often incompatible with some eBike frames, women’s frames, composite frames, and mountain bike frames.
  • 4.   Team Two (Too) Tired 4 Figure 1: Thule Helium Aero hitch mounted carrier ($349.99) To combat incompatibility with various top tube geometries, some companies sell a device that creates a horizontal connection point by attaching to the stem and seat tube. This device brings additional cost, complexity, and carries the bike lower to the ground than it should be. Figure 2: Yakima TopTube ($39) Platform Bike Carrier Some hitch mounted bike carriers primarily support the bike at the base of the two wheels with a third connection to the top of the front wheel to keep the bike from tipping. This type of carrier virtually guarantees bike compatibility and ease of use because they secure the bikes at the most consistent part of their design: the wheels. These racks are not reliant on any section of the frame geometry so they’re a great choice for users with composite frames or mountain bikes. Because these types of carriers already have a platform, they often also offer a foldable ramp to make loading heavy bikes easier.
  • 5.   Team Two (Too) Tired 5 Platform bike carriers typically have the highest cost, complexity, and bulk of the hitch mounted carriers. Many platform carriers are not designed to fold down as compactly as their top tube counterparts making it difficult to store. Those that are able to fold down often come with exorbitant costs as we see with the $699 Thule EasyFold. Figure 3: Thule EasyFold 9032 ($699.95) Trunk Mounted Trunk mounted bicycle carriers rely on 6 straps (top, bottom, and side of trunk) and 4 soft rests on the trunk surface itself. These racks vary slightly in geometry but uniformly secure the bike by the top tube and attach to the same sections of the trunk. This type of rack is very compact to store. It has similar limitations to top tube support bike carriers in that it attaches to the top tube of the bike and can be incompatible with some bike frames. Many users also worry about the risk of damaging the car with this type of carrier. Additionally, these carriers are usually complicated and require time for set up. Figure 4: Thule Raceway 9001XT ($279.95)
  • 6.   Team Two (Too) Tired 6 Roof Mounted Roof mounted bike carriers are very common because they easily attach to the car’s roof without much risk of damaging the car. These carriers remove the extra footprint other designs have, which can be a concern when driving in a city center. The main drawback of a roof mounted bike carrier is that the cyclist has to lift the bike on top of the vehicle. For this reason, they are most popular on smaller cars rather than SUVs. Roof mounted racks either attach to both wheels or to the back wheel and the front dropouts. Two Wheeled Support Like the platform hitch rack, this form of support is the most compatible with different frame geometries. The only downside to this design is that there is less support for the bike without the front dropout attached to the carrier. Figure 5: Thule Criterium 598 ($189.95) Front Dropout & Rear Wheel Support This form of support, which relies on the front dropout for both longitudinal and lateral support is very rigid. It also makes the bike less attractive to thieves as the wheel is usually stored inside the vehicle. The main problem with this rack design is the need to take off and re-install the front wheel when using the rack.
  • 7.   Team Two (Too) Tired 7 Figure 6: Thule Paceline 527 ($199.95) Design Requirements The primary user need for this product’s success is that it seamlessly integrates into their active lifestyle. From this user need, we can deduce a number of design requirements: 1. Supports two 60-lb bicycles 2. Weighs less than 144 pounds (more realistically, less than 30-lbs) 3. Must secure the bicycles from road forces and theft a. Must have infinite life for a 2G bump b. Must support a 1G acceleration in the side-to-side direction 4. Must be stored in an area that is 14” x 17” x 36” 5. Should be cost competitive with other bike racks a. Use common aluminum and steel materials b. Be manufactured using common techniques
  • 8.   Team Two (Too) Tired 8 Design Description Overview The T-Sqwrd Rack is designed to carry two 60-lb bicycles behind a car using a standard 1.25” hitch receiver. Unlike many other hitch style bike racks, the bicycles are supported from the bottom of the frame. The main, weight-bearing support is at the crank tube, where the down tube, seat tube, and rear drop out originate from. Additional supports for balance, and turning forces are attached to the down tube, seat tube, and rear drop out. Figure 7: The T-Sqwrd Rack Detailed Description The T-Sqwrd rack needs to support the bicycles from gravity forces, bump accelerations, and turning accelerations. To do this, it supports the bicycles in four primary locations: at the crank tube, on the down tube, against the seat tube, and on one chainstay.
  • 9.   Team Two (Too) Tired 9 Figure 8: T-Sqwrd Part Callout 1. Hitch Rod Function The hitch rod’s main functionality is to support the weight of the bikes through the crank holder and vertical support. This part inserts into the 1.25” square hitch receiver at the rear of the car. While the size of the hitch receiver is standardized, its height from the ground is far from normalized. Due to the desired space constraints, the T-Sqwrd will not work well on vehicles that have a hitch that is low to the ground. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix
  • 10.   Team Two (Too) Tired 10 Figure 9: Geometry of Hitch Rod Manufacture Figure 10: Tube Mill Features Figure 11: Hitch Bar manufacturing process The hitch bar will be manufactured using a tube mill similar to Figure10 above. Coiled 1045 steel is rolled out and flattened before entering an overhead loop spiral accumulator. The flattened steel then enters the rollers where it is formed into the desired thickness before the edges of the strips are heated to a molten state before they are forged welded together. The member is cooled before entering the squaring stand
  • 11.   Team Two (Too) Tired 11 where it is shaped as a 1.25” sided square and cut off by a saw at the desired length. Afterwards, the hitch bar is placed in a drill press to tap and drill the holes. 2. Crank Holder Function The crank holder will relate all of the bicycle’s weight into the hitch rod. The crank holder directly support the bicycles weight at the crank tube and translates all dynamic forces through the vertical support. Although not included in the solid model, the production version would have a medium-density foam on it to cushion the bicycle’s frame. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix Figure 12: Isometric view of Crank Holder Manufacture Figure 13: Crank Holder manufacturing process The 6061 aluminum alloy crank holders will be molded and finished in a C.N.C. Liquid 6061 Aluminum Alloy will be poured into a cast iron mold where it will harden. Afterwards, the piece will be placed into a C.N.C. where the top will be finished and the holes will be drilled and tapped.
  • 12.   Team Two (Too) Tired 12 3. Vertical Support Function The vertical support is used to support the imbalance of the bike and to resist dynamic forces. It also offers a loop to secure the bike to the rack using a u-lock. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix Figure 14: Isometric view of Vertical Support Manufacture Figure 15: Vertical Support manufacturing process The easiest way to manufacture this part is to have a cast iron mold of the three walls and pour liquid aluminum alloy into the mold. After the aluminum alloy hardens , it is cut down to the desired thickness using a water jet (water jet cutting is more precise than a laser cutting). Then 6061 aluminum sheet metal is placed on top of the open-faced, three walled support and both pieces are placed
  • 13.   Team Two (Too) Tired 13 in a stamp die to stamp the last wall. The holes are then tapped and drilled in a drill press before the stamped sheet metal and open-faced, three wall support are welded together along with the locking loop (which is molded separately). 4. Chainstay Hook Function The chainstay hook supports the bicycle’s chainstay and is primarily used to support the imbalance of the bicycle. It also is where we expect the user to use this hook to rotate the bike into position on the rack. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix Figure 16: Isometric view of Chainstay Hook Manufacture Figure 17: Chainstay Hook manufacturing process The chain stay hook will be forged using a closed die similar to the Figure 17 above. A strip of steel is enclosed in a die and forged on an anvil in order to

Down Tube Hook Function The down tube hook supports the bicycle’s down tube and is used primarily to support the imbalance of the bicycle. It also is primary in translating forces from the vehicle cornering. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix Figure 18: Isometric view of Down Tube Hook Manufacture Figure 19: Down Tube Hook manufacturing process Similar to the chain stay hook, the down tube hook will also be forged using a closed die and then put into a drill press to tap and drill the holes. The down tube

Seat Tube Rest Function The seat tube rest supports the bicycle at the seat tube. It is intended to keep the bike from rotating at the bottom during acceleration and braking maneuvers.

After the piece is welded together, the anchor will be milled from a block of 1045 steel and welded to the seat tube rest. 7. Straps Function The rubber straps (roughly modeled in SolidWorks) are attached via the cylindrical anchors at the seat tube rest and the down tube hook. They are used to keep the bike from moving in the direction opposite the hook/support. An example of the style of rubber straps are shown in Figure 21 below. Geometry Full Geometry in Appendix Figure 22: Isometric View of Rubber Straps Manufacture Figure 23: Manufacturing Process for Straps To manufacture the straps, we would use liquid injection molding where liquid silicone rubber is injected via nozzle into a mold and removed when it solidifies.
  • 17.   Team Two (Too) Tired 17 This process is extremely fast and allows for high production rates which is necessary since we need two straps per bicycle rack. Assembly The rack will require some assembly after individual part manufacture. The steps are: 1. Connect the Crank Holder and Vertical support with three M4 screws to secure the two members. 2. Weld the Crank Holder to the Vertical Support. 3. Install Chainstay Hook to Vertical Support with two M3, countersunk machine screws, two washers, and two nuts. Apply Loctite to nut. 4. Install Down Tube Hook to the Vertical Support with two M3, countersunk machine screws, two washers, and two nuts. Apply Loctite to nut. 5. Install the Anchor to the Vertical Support with one M3, countersunk machine screw, one washer, and one nut. Apply Loctite to nut. 6. Put the Seat Tube Support on the Vertical Support and weld them together. 7. Slip each assembled Crank Holder onto the Hitch Rod. 8. Secure the Crank Holders onto the Hitch Rod with M5 machine screws, washers, and nuts. Each nut should be secured with Loctite. Use To use this rack, the hitch bar should be inserted into the receiver and the pin should be installed. Following the rack installation on the car, the bikes can be placed on the rack and they should then be secured with the rubber straps. If security is desired, the user can use their U- Lock to attach the bike frame to the included loop on the vertical support.
  • 18.   Team Two (Too) Tired 18 Evaluation Overview The primary evaluation criterion for the T-Sqwrd is that it seamlessly blends into the life of the user. To ensure that the rack do this, we have planned a rigorous FEA analysis to ensure the product will not fail on the user. Additionally, real world durability and user interfaces will be required before the product should be sold.

It contains all relevant parts with accurate geometries and material properties. Of course, some factor of safety should be included for inconsistencies in materials and manufacturing. The model is fixture over the surfaces of the last 5 inches of the hitch rod, which would be inserted into the receiver. The only portion of the assembly that isn’t perfectly modeled is the rubber strap that secures the down tube and seat tube. This deficiency is due to an inability to thoroughly model the elastic design and the rubber material. Real world testing would be needed in this region before the product should be sold.
  • 19.   Team Two (Too) Tired 19 Figure 24: Illustration showing the location of the fixtures and where the forces are applied To ensure the product meets its ultimate goal – to blend seamlessly into the user’s lifestyle – our team would like to see real world product testing take place at the boundary conditions of the design. Although the hitch design is well standardized, the forces it exerts on the hitch rod can vary drastically depending on the vehicle’s wheel base, mass, spring rate, suspension travel, and damper setup. To ensure the product will keep the bikes safe and secure under all realistic use conditions, the rack should be subjected to those same conditions and worse until it fails. Should failure occur in a reasonable use case, that portion of the product needs to be revised. Testing and Results 2G Bump Factor of Safety & Fatigue Analysis Introduction The largest expected forces on our rack are during a bump case. This event is dependent on the vehicle’s suspension setup and the actual geometry of the bump on the road. To prevent failure when the rack is in the field, we have modeled a fairly large bump as a 2G acceleration in the vertical direction. While the wheel and tire package will accelerate at a greater rate than 2G in many bump cases, we are making the assertion that the body of the vehicle will be insulated to an acceleration of less than 2G. This value will be validated in real world testing. Test Procedure To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack: Y  X Z

It registers a maximum stress using von Mises of 25.75 ksi. Factoring in the material properties of the 1045 CD Steel the hitch rod is constructed of, the lowest FOS is 2.986. Figure 25: Stress Plot of 2G Bump Event Discussion The results of the FEA analysis satisfy the requirement to secure the bicycles to the vehicle while on the road. As mentioned earlier, this results should be

This is an appropriate maximum load as it serves as a fairly common max limit of adhesion for road cars with summer performance tires. Test Procedure To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack: Table 3: Loads applied in 1G Turn Event Location Magnitude Direction Inner Crank Holder 60 lb -Y Outer Crank Holder 60 lb -Y Inner Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X Outer Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X Inner Down Tube Hook 60 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z) Outer Down Tube Hook 60 lb Directly into hook (-Y, +Z) Inner Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y Outer Chain Stay Hook 3 lb -Y Entire Assembly Gravity 36.29 lb -Y Results The resulting max stress is 28.62 ksi.

  • 22.   Team Two (Too) Tired 22 Figure 26: Stress Plot for 1G Turn Discussion Again, the results of the FEA analysis satisfy the requirement to secure the bicycles to the vehicle while on the road. Fatigue Life Evaluation Introduction Due to varying road loads, several components on the rack will see cyclical loading. We did not consider the forces of loading the bicycles to be anywhere near a fatigue limit. The primary focus is the loading caused by road irregularities and bumps. We expect the rack to see a large number of these cycles as it is on the road. Test Procedure To test this event, the following forces were exerted on the rack and a zero based fatigue study was run to evaluate the life of the rack. The zero based study is a “worst case” as the bike will not pull up on the crank holder. Table 4: Loads applied for 1.5G fatigue analysis Location Magnitude Direction Inner Crank Holder 90 lb -Y Outer Crank Holder 90 lb -Y Inner Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X Outer Seat Tube Rest 5 lb +X

Discussion This is a pleasing result, as we see that even fairly tough, daily use will not fatigue the rack and it will go on to serve the user until they no longer want to use it. Mass Evaluation Introduction The mass of the bike rack is critical to the primary goal of integrating into the user’s life seamlessly. In order for the user to not be bothered by the rack, it needs to easy to lift and install on the hitch. Test Procedure To evaluate the mass of the rack, we selected the appropriate material properties in SolidWorks and used the Mass Properties Function to determine the weight of the rack. Results All in, the rack weighs 36.29 lb. Discussion We consider 36.29 lb to be a very reasonable weight for the rack. It is reasonable to assume that the user has should have no problem lifting or moving this rack as its weight is consistent with that of a medium-light bike. Space Constraint Evaluation Introduction Our user will need to store the rack when it isn’t in use so it’s important that it be easy to store and not take too much of their space up. Test Procedure To evaluate the footprint of our rack we used the Measure tool in Solidworks to see our dimensions. Results
  • 24.   Team Two (Too) Tired 24 Figure 27: Front view showing package dimensions Figure 28: Bottom view showing package dimensions Discussion The resulting assembly does fit into the initially stated size constraints and shouldn’t take up a huge amount of room in the user’s home.
  • 25.   Team Two (Too) Tired 25 Assessment The T-Sqwrd rack thoroughly and creatively addresses each of the design requirements. The unique approach of securing the bike frames from the bottom has definitely resulted some definite advantages and disadvantages that we didn’t see coming. This rack’s main advantage is that it doesn’t have to make the use of any complicated folding or telescoping mechanisms to fit into the desired size constraint. These mechanisms are often complicated and increase cost, decrease rigidity, and can prove unreliable. These traits go against our goal of blending in with the user’s life. Our users do not want to be burdened by a stuck hinge due to corrosion. Another advantage of the rack is that it is compatible with various top tube geometries because it doesn’t interact with that part of the frame. This advantage, though, can work perfectly for some users and wouldn’t work at all for others. If the bike user has a bike with uncommon crank tube geometry, the bike will not be compatible with the rack. The largest current roadblock to the design’s success is that it carries the bikes close to the road – in some vehicles the bikes may actually touch the ground. This is a major problem and could prove to be something that would deem this style of rack a “no go.” There are a number of things that could be done to address this issue but each brings with it some definite disadvantages. One solution would be to put a bend in the hitch rod, but this would either increate the package size or necessitate disassembly or complex mechanisms to keep the form factor. Next Steps The first step that should be taken is a collection of some real world hitch height data. This should then be collected and modeled with several various bike models to see the distance from the wheels to the ground in various pairings. If the outcome of this data is that the bikes are too close to the ground, a decision must be made about scrapping the design or including some mechanisms to make the design more compact for storage. Should the design move past the height evaluation stage, a physical prototype should be manufactured and rigorously tested with various vehicle suspensions systems and in various environmental conditions. Revisions should be made for any failures. Following the physical testing stage, the design should be verified and improved using customer evaluation programs. Further development can also take place with this product to make it more compatible with other bike designs by making multiple crank holder and down tube hook designs for purchase.
