    Why the hell is there an “Ü” in the name? It is a California based company. No natural occurring umlauts within a 10000km radius.

    And also btw:

    How do you pronounce it?
    The correct pronunciation is “g-oop” and not “g-up”…obey the umlaut.

    No, this is totally not the correct pronunciation if you obey the umlaut… 😆

        It is very hard to find something fitting, as the ü-sound doesn’t seem to exist at all in the English language.
        Perhaps the nearest I can think of is, if you take the “eo” sound as you speak it in “theorem”, but try to make the “e” noise less high-pitched but make it sound fuller and somewhat deeper.

      Spanish has them, and there’s plenty of Spanish in California

        You are somewhat right, dots appear above a bunch of Spanish (and even some old fashioned English) words, but are not umlauts (which the company claims their ü to be), but have a different function.

    Having a single purpose tool on a saddle rail is an extreme waste of real estate. 🤔

    This link at the end of the article is amazing.

    They’re just trying to see how many places they can stash a plug kit on a bike at this point.
