Some of the titles and descriptions don't seem to match, but otherwise looks like some good deals to be had. Cheapest damper upgrades (ignoring aftermarket stuff) I've seen in a UK for a good while

Some of titles, pictures and descriptions don't match, like all three are different.

Dumb question time:

1) Will an Eagle 12spd quicklink work on a Shimano chain?

2) They say that the Powerlock links are not reusable, but are they really?

I've never had an issue using quicklinks from one brand with another and have certainly re-used them after cleaning chains a few times. When you can pop them open between finger and thumb it's time for a new one!

Their descriptions are always a bit shit.

I just take the view i can return it if something is wildly different

Yeah they're not techie people! They just take the description given to them. I once contacted them to say the cam they were listing as an HD cam was not HD, but they wouldn't change it!

eg. this:

Code RSC brakes (without hoses apparently for £155) - seems a great price...however, the hoses aren't cheap.

Biketart have had RSCs for about £130 now, with hoses. I'm sure it was buried somewhere in the old PSA mega thread.

They say that the Powerlock links are not reusable, but are they really?

I've always used the rule "same power-link on the same chain over its life-time", so I've chucked the link when I've chucked the chain, but used it again if just splitting [and then re-joining] the chain for cleaning.

I think you're supposed to throw the links away after each use, so a fresh Powerlink to re-join a split chain.

I have had them break on me a couple of times, so I guess it depends on your appetite for risk.

Seems like one for those who like a flutter, as it's a gamble that you're gonna get what you're hoping for.

the old PSA mega thread.

Too soon to mourn its passing? 🙁

The have X01 rear mechs, X1/3/5, EX1, GX1 & 2.1, Rival, but no Apex. However, they [i]might[/i] have the descriptions wrong! 🙂
