MBUK is a bag of shite. almost all adverts or useless features about them riding volcanoes in iceland with thier mates and nothing at all to do with what the average rider gets up to. apart from races the writers compete in.

I disagree with halo wheels though. Ive had a set os SAS rims on a DMR revolver at the front and a Halo hub at the back on my DH bike for about 18 months and have had no trouble with them at all.

a stupid buy on the market that took a few grand to zilch in about 6 mo.
Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/chart?timeout=10&h=225&w=220&type=gp_line2&range=1y&ticks=SPLT:US&cfg=ChartBuilderVol_bw.xml&img=pngHDTV - seemed like a decent lead as they were making chips for HD tvs - ended up taking a negative 5:1 split! Ouch. Other that that, even though it wasn't a lot of dough, I bought 10 rolls of Pedros rim tape once - although their tools are great, their tape absolutely bites. I gave it away.... A few speeding and driving with expired plates tickets from my youth days were bad investments (clocked at 120 in a 40 + school zone). Yeah... a waste of money for sure.
