... not that it has rained here in munich for the best part of a month....
Wow 😯
sounds like a 5.10 wearers (wet) dream!
that looks the nuts!
Can't quite work out why putting water on a rubber plunger is so important though.
Bloody impressive stuff otherwise
Quick, everybody buy white shorts and riding tops 😆
I never understand why something that attracts water is Hygroscopic but something that deflects is Hydrophobic
Hmmmm, i'm thinking Moses party tricks.
I wonder if it lets sweat out though ...
Saw this not so long ago. I think one of the comments says it all.

No more bike cleaning!
There was something on Grand Designs a few weeks ago where the outside of the house had been painted with a similar thing. Kevin put a sample bit of wall in some muddy water and it came out clean.
Grand Designs. Yeah, I think that's what I'm thinking of.

I'm claustrophobic and I in no way have the urge to leap into a small space. Infact you could say that on a psychological level, the idea is repellent.
The opposite of hydrophobic is hydrophilic, i think hydroscopic is something that absorbs water rather than attracts it, which would be hydrophilic.
That sort of stuff is relatively well known about. We use similar technology on the bottom of boats to stop barnacles from sticking. Problem with non stick coatings and treatments is that they don't stick to the substrate very easily.
much does a tin of it cost? Google doesn't bring up anywhere to buy it?
I don't think it's for sale yet, their website said they'd be bringing out a spray next summer. I'm covering my bike in it, never need to wash it ever again.
That's bloody witchcraft that is.

I'm just going to spray myself and ride naked!
