Yakima – Reverse engineering of 15mm Fork Adapter
Posted: August 12, 2011 in Design and EngineeringTags: 15mm, bike rack, fox fork, giant reign, objet, rack, roof rack, solidworks, Yakima
I reverse engineered this product by Yakima when I finished building my new mountain bike and realized the 15mm thru axle front fork was not compatible with the existing 9mm quick release based Yakima Viper car roof rack. I promptly ordered the Yakima HighRoller off Promotive but in the meantime I used my prototype that I made based off caliper measurements of my viper rack and pictures I found on Yakima’s website.
Here's the Yakima 15mm Fork Adapter (MSRP $49)
Here is my prototype. This was designed in SolidWorks and created with an Objet. This prototype withstood highway forces with a 30Lb mountain bike for 50-60 miles during the week my HighRoller was on order.
MCR – Prototype I

Complete engineering and prototyping of a new barbell clamp design.
This shows my SolidWorks model being cycled through open to close.
This shows my prototype clamped onto a barbell.
This shows my prototype next to the reverse engineered model I created of the current design that's in all the gyms. They are similar in form factor.
MCR – Reverse engineering of existing design

Complete reverse engineering of existing production version of MCR barbell clamp (MSRP $37.95 for a pair).
This is my SolidWorks model, assembled.

Leupold – VXSS 12-40x60mm Spotter

Responsible for overseeing daily operations and design engineering of VXSS spotter refurbishment project for the US Army (M151, MSRP $1200 commercially available and configured w/ Mil Dot). This is a $1M+, 3-year contract to refurbish complete US Army inventory of sniper spotting scopes. The driving force behind this is improved near infrared wavelength transmission for night vision applications. This product features a mil dot front focal reticle and is the official spotting scope of the U.S. Army’s XM110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System (SASS).
This is my SolidWorks assembly with the Mil Dot reticle depicted.
