personally I was pretty disapointed in my half link, like really i only weight 100-110 pounds and i took one good pedals and it snaped and smashed my knee off of my stem, And i was quite disapointed in my kink relife stem it ovelized my stear tube

that would be your fault for not keeping your headset tight. thats the only way it would happen.

Ignorant post.

Preloading the headset and ovalising the steerer are two very different things. It's caused by clamping the stem too hard.

i have had no problems with my edwins, they only just wore out after 4months. and i ride almost every day.
going to get another pair soon
also i reckon the kmc kool chain is very nice

i think griswalds are absolute SHIT, they feel like crap and wear out in about a week
have had my griswalds for about 1 month they are far from being wore down and they feel amazing.
can't bash a product because it didn't work out for you.

The only thing I'll bash about Griswalds, is that 2 pairs just spontanously(sp?) ripped on me over night. Other than that they were comfy, and lasted me about 3 months, of on and off riding.

Oddessey linear slic cables have got to be the worst thing ever. The outers are almost impossible to cut, the inners stretch like f*ck nd the coloured coating falls off.

Also AVOID PROFILE FLUSH BOLTS LIKE THE PLAGUE! they just chew straight up nd never hold the crank on tight so it hits the frame.

the profile flushbolts are awesome. and how does the crank hit the frame if its not tight?? that doesnt make sense, the cranks have to be tight to hit the frame. also if the cranks hit the frame use spacers

because if its not tight it wobbles on the axle nd hits the frame
