The Good:

Harder compound lasts longer, feel amazing after their broke in, color options

The Bad:

Maybe too hard of a compound for some, bar ends are not good

Overall Review: I bought these to support one of my favorite riders Joris Columb . Now for his style these totally make sense and fit him. These are grips that will last longer than others including ODI longnecks. But they take a bit longer than usual to break in. The grip pattern maybe a little different for s...

The Good:

Decently grippy for like only two weeks, then...

The Bad:

It starts to dry out, looses all its grip. Quite heavy also

Overall Review: Not good tires. Do not recommend. A friend of mine had them in black and they worked decent for him. There are many other better tires out there on the market.

The Good:

They’re decent pedals. They function as pedals should

The Bad:

Nothing, really

Overall Review: If you are looking for a pair of decent plastic pedals, these will do the job. Grip decent. Cannot comments on the durability as I rode them lightly.

Posted by DanTheBikerMan on 3/22/2021 6:56 PM

The Good:

Looks good, functions well

The Bad:

Would be nice if the clamping area was a little bigger

Overall Review: Solid stem. No longer have mine but I liked it when I did.

Everything, looks good, works good

Posted by kylecarlson on 9/29/2020 12:53 PM

The Good:

Durable, mostly flat profile, chrome & black options

The Bad:

Tough to remove from spindle, if necessary

Overall Review: As someone who catches cranks a ton, I love the flat surface they have. I’m running them secondhand, and the previous owner would do crankarm grinds. Still going strong a year later! Would definitely recommend!

The Good:

Unique reverse pawl design.

The Bad:

Discontinued product.

Overall Review: When I needed a hub for my custom rear wheel chose this one. The internal design was unique. Kind of different from other hubs. You can see the six inverted pawls in the picture. Mine made several strange ugly "click" sounds in the beginning, but did start behaving. The wheel was laced together ...
