If weight is more important than ease than the Halo Hex Skewers might be just for you. These ultra light bicycle wheel skewers are made of straight chromoly so these are strong. What they aren’t is exactly easy to change should you have a flat – a 5mm hex bolt key is required. If carrying an extra tool – or just hoping you don’t get a flat – is worth saying a bit of weight than these are just the thing. They don’t look bad either.

Halo Belt Offers Wearable Lights
While we won’t be surprised if this shows up in dance clubs, the Halo Belt is actually a pretty novel concept. It is an LED light system that is wearable around the waist or across the chest. It works by providing illumination through a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fiber optic that creates a bright glowing wearable light.
The Halo Belt can be worn by cyclists, runners or even just people who go out for a walk on dark streets. It runs on just two CR2024 batteries and offers up to 20 consecutive hours of run time. The company is currently engaged in a Kickstarter campaign but also already succeeded in raising eight times its goal.
Thus we should the belts in red, blue, yellow and green in the not too distance future.
