Schwing Thing TT CupHolder road test update

In a word, GREAT. It is so nice to have an easy to reach cupholder, no more contortions. It works very well with a variety of travel cups. This, in the picture, is the most top heavy that I have and it sat there on some fairly rough roads. I was concerned that the weight of the cup/coffee might cause the arm to swivel around the screw holding it to the knee brace, but not so. Really a perfect solution, finally, to the cupholder problem. There is only one modification that I would suggest. Since there is no bottom on the holder, one cannot put a pop can into it.. well you can but, of course it will fall out the bottom. What would really be great is a plastic insert with a bottom. The plastic would reduce rattles from the can and the bottom, of course, would keep the cup from falling on the floor. Very good design Steve, the check is in the mail and the salmon will be Monday. The holder does intrude into the passenger's space so that it would need to be removed for all but short rides. However, in my case, I hardly ever have a passenger so that isn't a problem.

Hey, Thanks for the update Dick!....>
Now if NasTTcar can get Candy production cranked up so I can get some of those tubes, and GPS city will get the parts off back-order, we'll be all set! There may be a can option I'm looking at BTW....Thanks!
