About this model

I didn't like the tiny size handle on the Shimano supplied pad spacer. Also, the clip is narrow and you have to hunt around for the pin which is a pain when you're in a hurry. This version has an ample handle and guide prongs to help hone in on the pin easier by straddling the clip spring. I designed this for PLA and reinforced the spring mechanism accordingly. It should have a strong snap. The picture shows it installed while my bike is mounted on an indoor trainer. I'm happy with the results. Let me know how it works for you. Standard print settings with not brim or supports needed. more cycling parts
