Stashed’s Elliot Tanner on Making Innovative Bike Storage Systems
from Bikes & Big Ideas
Stashed founder Elliot Tanner has many talents, like making ultra-light climbing gear and designing components for Marker’s Kingpin touring binding. But that’s not all: he also built his own high-pivot, gearbox-equipped Enduro bikes, and that was before high-pivots or gearboxes were cool. But it wasn’t until his family had amassed more bikes than they had room for that he got the inspiration to create a bike storage solution. We caught up with Elliot to chat about that first design, and how it went from something he built to solve his storage problem to the Spacerail Bike Storage System that is the foundation of Stashed, plus a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredStashedTOPICS & TIMES:Elliot’s Engineering BackgroundDesigning Climbing GearMaking Marker KingPin ComponentsElliot’s High-Pivot Gearbox BikesDesigning his First Bike Storage SystemFounding StashedManufacturing in WalesWhat’s hanging on Elliot’s Spacerail Favorite Place to RideCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTED Hosted on Acast.
