justinafrika Posted June 3, 2021 Share 44 minutes ago, Eddy Gordo said: Agreed, I import most of my spares. I pay less than half the price compared to what it costs here and thats after shipping and duties. Even cycling clothing is a major ripoff. Those materials costs so little per meter, but the finished garments are almost always ridiculously high. Hear here! Truly so, EG. I've bought kit from a couple of LBSs and this kit from an Asian retailer is similar quality. It's done hard rotation in a 6 to 7 day cycling week for more than a year with zero sign of decay: Riaan H and Julz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza Yep. I went for the ratcheting head too. It’s quite an upgrade from my previous torque wrench which became woefully unreliable with its clicks - sometimes it clicked and sometimes it didn’t… TheoG, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and gummibear 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
