I hate clamping a bike to a stand bc I have a screw clamp and it takes what seems forever to engage and release. This may be my savior.

So excited for the wipe!
Haven't seen many rumbles about the wipe, but I am REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to the wipe. I travel a ton with the national rowing team, and train on the trainer for about 4/5 of my total riding time and suffer from "heavy sweater" syndrome. So the wipe is going to be a game changer for me if it delivers what it promises - I'll never have to worry about gears rust up from my sweat!

Hooray!

In the end, the professional needs more than 1 option but there will certainly be multiple different options for the home mechanic based on level of requirement.

Welcome on board Josh pal!

Every design has some sort of compromise or tradeoff. What's yours?

Like Bici Support have been doing for the last 25yrs, and has been used on the world tour for the same amount of time
