Yes lots of us do have bikes for seasons, it's pretty normal/de rigeur. N+1 and all that. As for ride my damn bike more? I've covered just short of 2,000 miles this year, and that's been curtailed because of injury and illness. My only real gripe is that if you want to store your bikes vertically you cannot have a full rear mudguard fitted. This isn't a massive problem with my road bike, but my single-speed clunker (used to) live with the mudguards on since there was never any reason not to - until the clug.

One point about a device designed to grip an inflated tyre is what happens over time as air leaks out. A trawl of t'internets turned up a couple of examples where people claimed their bikes fell out of Clugs after tyres deflated over a period of months, to which I would say – Ride Your Damn Bike More.

Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? The premise of the Clug is simple: it's a clip that grips your tyre. That's it. Screw to the wall, insert bike. Done. Pull bike out, ride. Obviously something based on tyre size is going to need to accommodate a wide range of widths, so the Clug comes in three sizes: Roadie (23-32mm), Hybrid (33-42mm) and MTB (43-62mm/1.8-2.5in). I've reviewed the Roadie and Hybrid sizes. Once installed, the Clug can be removed easily and relocated in a minute – the insert covering the screws pops out and away you go. Tight spaces Faff - the beauty of the Clug is that you can push a bike home with one hand, into a tight space, and be done. If you had to reach past (around?) your bike to do up a toestrap with both hands, that would be a faff. and if the space were tight, possibly impossible, or highly-likely to see your arms/hands covered in filth from your rim. Possibly cut to ribbons by your steaming-hot disc rotor too.

I very rarely comment, but this, sorry, 4.5 stars for something that will only hold a bike as long as it's tyre is the correct size, and inflated, and costs twice or more than equivalents? Someone else posted the best solution to that problem, put a zip tie behind the clug when you install and tighten the bikes with the tie to the clug , so if even if one comes down, the whole series doesn't crash down.

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. There are five different sizes of the Clug Pro available, in the same ranges as the standard Clug, which should cover the majority of bike tyre sizes. One very minor gripe is the provision of Phillips screws rather than Pozidriv, although this is perhaps intentional, to prevent over-torquing the screws when installing. In use printers are for prototyping and very complex pieces but they will never be as fast at manufacturing as injection moulding or forging and by their nature can't produce smooth surfaces.
