How to easily do a backflip with your bike

A breakdown on the trail? Then you can turn the bike upside down to change the inner tube, for example - and scratch the fittings on the handlebars in the process. Now there is a solution via Kickstarter that helps to gently tip the bike upside down.

The two mountain bikers Richard Herberth and Roger Wettstein have come up with a new solution for repairs on the trail. Two handlebar end plugs, which are preloaded with a spring, hold a kind of elevation triangle. These serve as spacers to keep the handlebars and fittings off the ground and prevent scratches.

A funding campaign for the spacers called "Backflip" is currently underway on Kickstarter. The campaign has been running since May 31 and has so far raised around CHF 3,000 via 31 supporters, with a target of CHF 48,000. The Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign is still running for 28 days.
