basically for A2 I need to design or improve on an existing product, I'd like to do something bike related so...has anyone got a problem that a simple product could fix?
How about designing a chain tool which is electric which means you just put the links in place and press the button and it joins it at the touch of a button.
How about designing an integrated chainguide/Front mech. All mountain and slopestyle riders mostly want to run dual rings up front. but lots of light DH frames struggle to mount both on the BB. Others have suspension linkage clearance isues. A chainguide with a mech arm and roller cage integrated could be the answer

Thats a good idea actually I shall have to investigate how I could make that work. I'm also thinking about workshop stuff here guys, my original idea was a tool/bike rack which can be mounted to the wall and then removed and placed in a trialer to carry multiple bikes.
Make a chain guide, can't go wrong there as no chain guide will ever be perfect so there is always room to improve that product.
what would make a chainguide 'perfect'? there are enough out there that are made well enough and keep your chain on like they are supposed to, no point in going there
the improvement of a tool type thing seems a good idea
think something like the tool chest would be a good idea. a mech would be quite hard to design at an a level stage as they have to be quite precicely engineered so that the cable pull matches that of the shifter etc...
i think another similar topic was up here not too long ago. may be worth searching for. i think the end verdict was that anything bike related wouldnt be great for an A level project mind

The only thing that stops a chain guide from working (come on) is the person who has set it up. Be honest.
this is why im re-taking my GCSE's and not doing A-Levels lol
