Got a strong opinions about what works and what doesn't when it comes to cycling products? Do you have ideas for products or features you wish existed? If you answered yes to both of those, then British wheel company Hunt wants you.
Hunt is on the look out for six riders to form part of a product testing and review team. Named the OpenDev Team, they'll be part of Hunt's new Open Development Program, which will draw on their expertise, feedback and product suggestions to help refine and develop its wheel range. To apply, all you need to do is fill in an online form.
The deal isn't one-sided by any means. All six riders on the OpenDev Team will receive equipment from Hunt or its partners. So that's a shiny new Giro Synthe helmet, Mobel team clothing and, of course, a set of Hunt wheels, with the whole package coming in around the £1,000 mark in value.

If you haven't heard of Hunt, the company was founded by brothers Peter and Tom Marchmont. Each had significant experience in the UK bike industry; both were frustrated by the lack of wheels that fulfilled their needs and so started their own business. Hunt's products have including some interesting ideas, such as providing tubeless tyres already fitted on wheels for delivery.
Hunt claims to like doing things differently, and has already put customer feedback to good use in influencing new product designs and features. This has included such suggestions as higher spoke counts and wider rims for gravel or off-road riding, which fed into the firm's new 4Season Gravel Disc wheel.
