My Story

Hi, my name is Timothy. Last fall I bought a SeaSucker Talon bike rack because my car (2020 Mustang Bullitt) didn’t let me transport my bike unless I first removed the front wheel and put it in the trunk, which took some effort and always left a mess. The SeaSucker rack uses vacuum mounts (suction cups) to attach to the roof, without any need for permanent racks. While it worked great, I still got anxious not knowing if the pressure in the mounts were OK. So I made my own monitoring system that displayed the status of each suction cup on my phone. It consisted of a custom sensor system and an accompanying app that I made myself. This solved all my anxiety and I decided to share a video of my invention in a small sub-reddit (r/mountainbikes) and it received a lot of attention, with many people wanting to buy a unit for their own racks. Because of this reception, I proceeded to file for a patent and refining the system into a sellable product, which you can now buy on this website. I hope this product gives you the same peace of mind as is does for me.
