Crowdfunding has absolutely changed product innovation as we know it. Inventors and designers no longer need to find brands who share their vision, big time investors or proposition scary suits on the Shark Tank or Dragons' Den TV shows to make their dream a reality.
The trouble is, anybody can create a crowdfunding campaign, but not everyone will (or should) succeed. With this in mind, we’ve decided to regularly round up the hottest and ‘not-est’ campaigns seeking your help. We’ll also be sure to provide updates about where successful campaigns are at in delivering their concepts to rideable product.

Brim Brothers Zone DPMX cleat-based power meter
After nearly six-years in development Brim Brothers has finally launched its cleat-based Zone DPMX Power Meter on Kickstarter, which reached its funding goal in an unprecedented nine hours. As it stands at the time of writing the campaign has raised €170,237, and is still climbing.
The Zone DPMX consists of a force sensor that replaces the three- to four-hole cleat adaptor plate in Speedplay cleats, and a pod that sits on the top of the shoe, which determines cadence and sends the information to a paired ANT+ device. For initial release, the DPMX units are limited to Speeplay Zero pedals, with other versions of the Zeros still to be tested for accuracy.
