    I prefer the credit card zip tied to the chainstay and pinging the spokes, just as naff but much cheaper!

    This is quite an old advert. If I recall they didn't crowdfund enough to get it off the ground

    you mean no one was keen on it coming loose due to all the vibrations then wedging bit of itself in the brakes?

    Let me know if you find out what it is, I've rebuilt mine 3 times trying to fix that.

    I also heard that flares are coming back into fashion which is handy :roll:

    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    M'eh - all that extra weight. I'm holding on for the carbon fibre version.

    Make your bike sound like a galloping horse... that can run at 120 MPH.

    Would rather have this on it:

    No. It's the bike. I know this because it doesn't happen on the flat or downhill, so logically it must be the bike.

    On hot days, my bike a older MTB sounds land rover like as the soft compound tyres roar on hot Tarmac. No bell needed to warn wandering walkers!
