Many bikes have internal batteries these days. What about installing internal batteries? I believe that there should be a corporation with local bike shops that will store the batteries and install them for the customers

Nothing new or innovative here. It's exactly the same as using Garmin and Strava.

you're right! it's exactly like using Strava and garmin. and forget about the cheap....it costs 350$ https://www.quarq.com/store/item/1778/#

Beside the UST standard that ETRTO published many years ago, what are the other standards you keep mentioning here?

this is all very weird to me. I don't agree with the explanation on the patent. you can take a look here - http://www.google.com.br/patents/US6257676 no need to read all the text (although I did few years ago). you can look at the pictures and see for yourself that the rim's bead hook is numbered 16 (and 17 at the other side) there is nothing in the patent that limits it to specific shape and dimension nor saying it having a square shape rather than rounded profile of a standard rim. The patent only describes the dimensions and shape of the inner square tunnel. Here there is another strange thing. the first picture at this article shows Mavic UST rim with rounded inner tunnel instead of square one as the patent dictating. So I might be missing something but this is my understanding of the patent.

I don't understand why do you need wide tape for wide rims. The only thing you need to seal is the holes (in case the rim is welded and this is the case in Sytace rims). The holes are the same in all rims so you can still use narrower tape.

Maybe they have but I can swear it's Morzine
