Your new tire inflation system can now hide in your Hollow crank. For around R300 you can get this Crank Pump that will fit inside your higher end Shimano Hollow crank. At the moment its still only available through Kickstarter funding. I think its great and another one of those "Why didn't I think of it".

Like you said, Why didn't I think of that. Iv got the new shimano ultegra 6800 on my road bike so I should be good to go. On my old 26er it had lugs on the rear for V brakes and as I had disk brakes the lugs where un-used till I realised its the same thread as a bomb. Good spot to store 2 bombs.

How about a bike with no problems of dirty drivetrain. The Nusetti inner drive bike. Yes there have been bikes with gear boxes or inner drive systems, but this bike have the chain also inside the frame. A little bit more difficult to achieve than just a gearbox or hub-drive bike . At the moment the Nusetti with 16 speed planetery gearbox is only a prototype for now - damn.

And again - "Why didnt I thought of this". How many times have we all struggled to remove the rear wheel and end up with black and dirty fingers or gloves. Here is our answer to everybody's swearing and "there must be a better way:. The HubDock let you remove your rear wheel without even touching you drivetrain. I am very sad for 2 reasons: Its a bit on the expensive side - roughly R6000. And the Hubdock is more than a year old allready - why haven't I seen one here? I can think of a few reasons why this will be great.

Is this the world's first unstealable bike? And if you want to really test it, bring it to South Africa. This is the product and still prototype of engineering students in Chile. The frame is essentially the lock - the down tube split and its connected with the seat tube. The whole process takes about 20 seconds Nice idea, but will it work? Even if this does not hit your local bike shop, its quite a nice looking bike .

When locking our bikes, we tend to take our front wheel off and lock it with the rear wheel. But sometimes we don't want to for various reasons. A British engineer might have a solution with Quick Caps. Basically it locks your quick release skewers as one can see in the pics. Around R350 will get you a pair of these through Kickstarter.

I dont know if this should rather be in Cycle Humor. But the next spinning class you could bring your laundry.
