ok I thought I saw this feature on the 2009 Mongoose Sabrosa but cant seem to find the article again.

turning the bars is clearly the simplest way to save space. there must be some sort of quick release for this? I talked to Mongoose, they said that one of the Asian suppliers must make it for that specific bike but would not give me much more info about it.

its like the Yetti... we KNOW he exists but few have actually SEEN him.

I was used to popping off my front tire, enabling me to turn the handlebars to save space. I used ot have the Swiss Bike LX which had a "Clix Wheel Release System", and with disk brakes, you dont even have to undo the brakes, making this a piece of cake!

It was my first introduction to Quick Release, so I thought they were all like that UNTIL...

I just bought a pair of Giant Seek bikes. They are wheeey better bikes but they have QR but NOT the Clix QR! What a pain! I didn't realize that "regular Quick Release have to twirl the leavers to get the right position! That's not QR alt all! So Im planning to get a set of CLIX QR's for the new bikes -- unless we can come up with a QR for the handlebars.
