Dragons Den - Rehook

[steveindenmark]

Here is a little chain tool which appeared in Dragons Den. I dont know how I have managed all these years without one.

A clever guy.

Thanks for the that. Just bought a twin set.

 

[screenman]

I think it is a great idea, not that I will be buying one.

I've read that entire article, the front page of the rehook website, watched the first minute of the product video (albeit on mute) and I'm still not sure what it does or how it works. However, the fact that the chap 'had a similar wardrobe malfunction' on the way to the studio suggests that it may not work very well at all.

So it's a no from me.

It will sell well in Lakeland, which is the store full of clever solutions looking for a problem.

As for me, it's just another piece of junk to carry, which might get used once a year when a fellow cyclist has an unshipped chain. By the time you've rummaged through all the other junk in your saddle bag, frame bag, stem bag, rucsac or bar bag another cyclist will have replaced the chain in five seconds with their fingers.

I like it and I’m going to order some for my bikes.

 

[roadrash]

Did anyone else read the title as DRAGOS DEN,.... no....just me then

 

[winjim]

What does it do? Anybody?

Some of those free plastic gloves you get at the petrol station do the same thing.I presume it's about not getting your hands dirty.

 

[keithmac]

That's the joy of a carbon belt, no oil and no mess!.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Put it at the end of a tyre lever and you have a winner

 

[Ming the Merciless]

What does it do? Anybody?

If your chain comes off you can use it to put the chain back on without getting oily hands. Same if taking a wheel out to fix a puncture.

 

[Poacher]

That's amazing! Wish I'd had one decades ago.

You wouldn't believe the number of bikes I've had to throw away because I couldn't get the chain back on.

 

[Slow But Determined]

Funnily enough mine came off a couple of days ago. A bit of tissue from my jersey pocket sorted it. No dirty hands, five seconds to put back on.

Just don't blow your nose on said tissue!!
