    EDIT: This thing is called the WheelDeal, thanks to @Rezkid ! It's now available at

    http://tmcmakes.com/shop.html

    Current Sizes:
    15mm x 110 Boost
    15mm x 100

    Coming Soon:
    15mm x 150 FatBike
    L-Track mounts
    Spacers

    ***************

    I am looking to bring a new product to market, which you've possibly seen a sneak peak of in the all things bikes n tacos thread. But before i do a production run, i need a name for this thing! That's where you come in. Post your suggestion for a name of this thing (that isn't already copyrighted, etc). I'll choose the winner and they will receive a complete setup in the 15mm axle length of their choosing (100, 110 boost, 150 snowbike). I'll even pay shipping in the US, if you're overseas we'll have to work something out.

    All final parts will be powder coated black with stainless hardware. Blue image is a 3d printed prototype so you can see what it will look like in your truck attached to the utility rail.

    Mods, if this is not ok, please let me know and i'll move to the appropriate place!

    See if Masterlink is copyrighted. It looks like a master link and if this gets up and running when people google master links for their chains this would pop up along side it.

    This is really cool! I would definitely buy a couple, but my question is would this work with a camper shell?

    it will somewhat depend on your camper shell. but if you have enough clearance from the rail i don't see why not. i'm even working on special T nuts that you can install from the front so you don't have to remove any anchors that may be in the way.

    what shell are you running?

    Can we name it after me, since I've helped the testing? We should call it "Dave"
