Vibration Proof Bolts.

I thought some of the mechanically minded might be interested in this.

Kiwi company claims they have developed vibration proof bolts, and a simple, very very strong tubular connector. Say goodbye to traditional quick release mechanisms for seatposts, axles, and hello to adjustable frames?

They haven't claimed any inroads to the bicycle industry yet: it will be up to some smart cookie to do so. The kind that make electric bikes, maybe.

Puku - Ideas. Design. IP

There will be a podcast with one of the founders of the company on the radio NZ website real soon as well.

Interesting design but I can't for the life of me imagine how you can make a vibration proof bolt sexier :p
