Probably find it's very similar to something already on the market, but I'll wait for reports of fantastic longevity or some such before laying out...

I think they've been clever with the price, its one thing to declare longer life for a new product but it is priced inbetween the cheaper D.I.D. And the extreme D.I.D so when having the choice you're going to kind of go 'why not, let's give it a go'!

Not necessarily, as many people will go with what they know and trust.

Indeed it was.  :lol

I'll hold on to my wallet, Punk, until I hear what couriers make of them. Foc knows what's on the bike at the moment, but it seems OK!!  :)

I think my bikes still on original chain (20,000) so probably won't be too long before I need to change, I'm always up for trying new things if the price is right and this seems to tick the boxes.
