pads wear quick compared to competitors, but for the price you cant complain. pedal bearings are good on the nano techs but the axels are weak, i bent mine pretty easily.

the grips they do are pretty crap tbh (well the 'supagrippa' ones are anyway - never tried the 'excel') but i have also had the kevlar brake pads and the reducer headset and they were both awesome if i had to sum it up in 1 word. brake pads last for a long time, and the bearings in the headset are VERY good! so a defo yay!

I'm not superstars biggest fan, the bearings in a lot of the products aren't utter crap, seen so many people smash up the pedals or bend them and I have heard the brake pad surface is prone to cracking up and crumbling away.

I did buy a wheelset from them though with Switch front (gash) and Triziod (amaaaazing) rear hubs. The bearings in the higher up stuff are good quality but they don't stock replacements.
