• Ragley Bikes
From the Manufacturer:
 | Stronger, tougher and wider - Wiser! Built for the rider that wants a lightweight, durable bar that will stand up to the most demanding riding you can throw at it. The new Ragley Wiser bar has had a serious overhaul: we have redesigned it from the ground up to offer you the best aesthetics, ergonomics, performance and value on the market! Constructed from 7075-T6 Alloy the new Wiser bars have All-Mountain strength but weigh in at a trail bike friendly 300g. They feature a sensible width of 760mm which will suit most riders out of the box without the need for cutting them down, although we have included cut mark graphics just in case. This combined with 9/5 geometry and choice of 3 rises, results in an extremely comfortable bar that will keep you that way all day long. We chose these dimensions because these are what we like and what we think you will love too. Our new Low 10mm option was developed to replace the need for a flat handlebar which inherently does not have any upsweep. Our new 10mm option fills the gap; featuring as low-rise as possible whilst keeping proper up and back sweep. For 2015 we designed the new Ragley Wiser bars together with the Stubbing stem to make sure you get a no compromise set up that is designed to work as one. To emphasise this they both feature beautiful matching masked/shot-peened/polished finish and graphics that complement one another. |

• mozartt
From the Manufacturer:
| Mozartt Mono was created especially for the enduro lovers, just like our friend Andrea Bruno . To stay among the best, he needed a lightweight chain guide, that will keep the chain in the right place while spinning smooth on his XX1 drivetrain. Enduro races are getting the best equipment out of its comfort zone, and even such a great ideas as narrow-wide chain rings require a chain guides to stay reliable. Our product won't let you down on those steep rock sections despite the way you ride them. We used just the upper guide (with easy mounting feature), and the bottom slider, which just gently touches the chain. Due to the fact, that our chain guide doesn't tension the chain, our chain device is really quiet to let you hear those behind you. Have fun on the one of the lightest chain devices in the world of mountain biking! |

The pedals are fitted with forged steel axles and sealed cartridge bearings as standard, and custom rubber lip seals between the axle end and pedal body reduce the ingress of water and dirt to keep them going for longer in between services.Six replaceable and adjustable steel pins per side allow you to customise the level of grip to meet your own requirements.

You can always try torching your nuts, that'll free em right up.......
Save your money on beer instead.
2.2bar IS considered rock hard these days, isn't it
They have a lot of features (spend your time reading the manual, as most negative reviews are from people, who obviously haven't figured out all the features), the battery lasts forever, don't know about absolute accuracy but I've been using them happily on my cars, too, and there they accord with other gauge readings.
Would be interesting from which factory in asia they are coming from, so i can label them by myself^^
