what if...?

I still think we should try and get a replacement for those heavy old through axles, that need a power tool to undo in a race and if you drop them, they get all crudded up.
If only someone could invent a simple lever that stayed attached to the wheel and did up/ undid in a split second !

Hmmmm, what could that look like ?

For over fifty years we had just lived with disc brake bikes and they worked just fine but with a few niggles around setting up and servicing them.

Then someone with vision came up with a product that saved weight (500 grams per bike), cheaper , easier to install, could be tweaked easily on the road and didn't need special tools to service or install. Top that with, performance in most conditions is on a par. The marketing boys would be all over it !

I give you .....
