So just been watching Click on the BBC a new nanotech coating has been developed to completely waterproof small metal components. Seems you pop the item in a small microwave oven type thingy press the button and get presto,completely submersible.i wonder how this will effect the bike industry?thoughts....

this is quite old news. I believe that some of the motorola smart phones are coated internally with this kind of technology so they are more water resistant.

About time.
In 1977 I was watching Tomorrow's world ( being 9years old I believed them completely) and thought by now we would all be living with such things....
But no, 36 years later and we have gone relatively nowhere
