I have been reading a few books about design innovation, in preparation for opportunities to become more involved in my university's DI initiative. I attended a tour of the DI hub - under construction and opening in August - on Friday and was interested in some of the flexibly designed spaces.
One of the key components of DI, according to my reading, is that open access encourages innovation and growth while proprietary approaches discourage these. I know first hand the challenges presented by multiple brand-specific standards based on my almost 20 years of working on my own bicycles. At this point I cannot remember how many different bottom bracket tools I own, so clearly too many! This is further complicated by incompatibility among some drivetrain systems (e.g., Shimano versus Campagnolo) and sizing quirks in frames that require proprietary seatposts and forks. I used to be able to swap a 27.2 diameter seatpost among several bikes, which made sizing adjustments and replacement simple. Changes in wheels from rim to disc brakes, and the possibly incoming trend of tubeless for road bikes, makes me think I should just get an old steel frame, buy some vintage parts and stick with the standards of the 90s-early 00s. I have thought a lot about MIDI while working on bikes (and buying tools) - the musical instrument digital interface that came out back in the 80s to ensure communication among electronic instruments. Prior the that time I have to assume that all of the makers of electronic instruments - mostly keyboards like synthesizers - were going the direction of bicycle parts - which means going in multiple directions. MIDI allowed people to integrate across brands, so seemed like (still is) a mutually beneficial concept. Along the same lines, I was really happy to read a post yesterday about REFI-QDA, described as an "exchange standard" for analyzed qualitative data. I was also pleased to see some of the QDAS I use most often - Quirkos, Dedoose, NVivo - were members of this group. Now if only the bicycle brands would consider something like this.....
