It saves storage space, it is quick and it is easy to install?
That’s FlipCrown, an innovative metal component that fits the threaded headset on most bikes, allowing to flip the handlebars 90-degrees, parallel to the front wheel. This makes the bicycle very flat for easy storage. No more cramped hallways, no more pesky handlebars that are always getting in the way and nor more trying to pull out your bike from in between all those bikes in the bike rack.
Loosen your handlebar with our pocket size FlipCrown tool, flip it 90°, fasten it again and off you go! No more fiddling with the correct height or the perfect alignment of your handlebar. With FlipCrown it is always in the right position.
“We invented FlipCrown because as bike freaks we were fed up with not being able to put our bikes in the hallway. Plus, my wife didn’t like the chipped-off paint… We came up with an elegant solution that is both discreet and easy to install.” Inventor Patrick Jacquet
“I didn’t want to leave my bike outside anymore. I bike to the office every day and every morning I was worried about my bike being stolen, or exposed to rain. I finally found a solution to take it inside again. FlipCrown is small and simple, but this solution has a big impact.” Inventor Rob De Schutter
FlipCrown can be retro-fitted on all bicycles with a threaded headset and comes with a beautiful pair of quick-release pedals to make your bike ultra-flat and easy to store. Installation is a breeze, and all installation tools are included.
You can even lock your flipped handlebar when you’re out for drinks. No bike thief who would consider to steal something like that, right?
That’s FlipCrown, an innovative headset locknut that flips your handlebar parallel with your front wheel, so you can store your bike and save space.
Aren’t you in a DIY mood? Or do you think you need a new bike? We designed the SlimBike, a retro bike with of course the FlipCrown, but also with quick release pedals. And as a bonus we add our steel bike shelf, so when you don’t ride it, you can hang that beautiful piece of art on your wall.
