Based on that review, I was going to run out and buy a Connex 11sp chain -- until I noticed it was $90 USD. What justifies that price? Chain inflation is totally out of line with other products. Because profitability. Look, like many industries bike and component makers generate money by selling a small number of overpriced products to a small number of suckers. Oops, I mean customers. However, there are discerning customers who have blacklists. One company that made it on there now is CST. Their Conquistare road tires won't even last 1200mi in this area. The one I currently have on the rear also developed tiny cracks that you see in 15 year old car tires with 60000mi on them. Except this tire is almost new and under 1000mi. So when I have used up all CST tires here I will never buy that brand again. Are those CST tires China Made? I've never seen them sold here (not that they aren't) the "cheap tires" here all seem to be local made and aren't particularly prone to cracking. They are made in China. I am quite fond of Thai tires, they are among the best value for MTB. I haven't seen a 25mm road tire from Vee Rubber here yet. [...] -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
