looks like they fooled us then lol
but it is pretty high tech.
For something to be uniquely designed and used like that - and for it not to break or be crappy all the time is a feat in itself.

But it probably only didnt break cos it wasnt on the outside of the bike getting ragged about by rocks and stuff Smile
