Innovations that weren't...

(Id have to disagree on the kirk - a half dozen have passed through my hands, including a time trial set up road bike🤯, but there are great elements to the design)

But ah the crud Claw.
it looks like it works!
(A common theme in the thread imo)
Mine is still in a little box somewhere. Red it was.

Mech protectors, like hub spoke guards, were found on "family cycling" market models, but did reach higher in the market for a year or 2.

Did anyone make a cnc/ purple anodised mech protector, or were they all 1/2 kilo of pig iron?

In the end they were killed by the alloy frame replaceable mech hanger😪
I think something called a hanger banger existed. Can't remember how it worked out fitted but the idea was to protect your mech and hanger from taking a hit, so I think it may have had something to do with wheel qrs. Available in anno colours iirc.
