14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless is getting everywhere nowadays so it was just a matter of time until someone thought about using this technology for you bike, or more specific for your bike's brakes.
This concept was developed by a group of scientists at the Saarland University in Germany, who were most probably seeking for new devices that could benefit from the awesomeness of wireless.
The end-result is a bike brake that uses the 2.4 GHz ISM band to transmit the brake signal from the bike's rubber grip to the wheels, and the whole process takes about 250 milliseconds to be completed.
The German scientists who have developed this system claim that in the tests run the system worked with 99.999999999997 percent reliability, which means that it recorded just three failures from a trillion braking attempts, an impressive feat no matter how you look at it.
Right now, the researchers are looking for a bicycle brake manufacturer interested in their wireless system, but this is one concept that may soon find its way to a bike near you. (via ZDnet)
