This bracket allows you to mount an ABUS Bordo folding lock in the often-unused triangle behind the seat tube on a Tern D7i (and similar Link-series frames) bicycle.

It is designed as a tool-less frame interface (using zip ties), meaning you don't need dedicated bottle cage bosses or bolts to secure it. This keeps the lock weight low and centered without interfering with the seatpost movement or the fold.

Compatibility

• Confirmed Fit: Tern Link D7i.
• Likely Fit: Most Tern Link frames (D8, C8, B7) and other folding bikes with a similar rear-triangle gusset.
• Hardware: Optimized for heavy-duty UV-resistant zip ties.

Features

• Drill-Free Installation: Mounts anywhere along the seat tube/chainstay junction using zip ties—perfect for frames without extra mounting points.
• Folding Friendly: Positioned specifically to ensure the lock doesn't "clash" with the frame or handlebars when the bike is fully collapsed.
• Heel Clearance: Tucks the lock body inward so it won't rub against your legs or shoes while pedaling.

Print Recommendations

• Material: PETG, Nylon, or ASA are recommended. Since it is secured by zip ties, the material needs a bit of "give" and high weather resistance.
• Walls: 4+ perimeters. You want the zip tie channels to be very strong so they don't crush or tear under tension.

Installation Tip For the most secure fit, I recommend placing a small piece of old bike inner tube or rubber grip tape between the printed part and the frame. This prevents the mount from sliding and protects your paint from any grit that might get under the bracket.
