Don't get caught with this on your bike

If you do, you would be remembered for the wrong reason.

I wouldn’t want to be remembered for spending $699 on just part of a derailleur either.

$699

Bikes tend to be very homogenous, so I rather like it.

I think it might go well on one of the bikes @Zipp2001 shares pics of sometimes.

Bargain, too.

Hambini gave this a proper roasting

This poor US guy appears to be the first review victim. He released this yesterday not aware this was simmering over a week in the UK and Australia. They were targeting the US bike bling market claiming that it was designed in the England and built in the EU.

I don't think he is has woken up yet for the day.

I mean it looks pretty. If they reduce the price by £680 I'm there.

Jesus. I've read, and written, a lot of marketing nonsense in my time, but that's next level.

It's cute, but it ain't £500 cute.

I thought they were in boxes of Frosties in the 90's?

I've got a nice stone bridge I can offer you an unbeatable deal on. One careful owner, really built to last too. Strictly cash only, no refunds given.

The video posted by @Arrowfoot .... Why do Americans not just "do" something, without having to "go ahead and do" something?
e.g. "I'm gonna go ahead and weigh this". Any instructional videos by Americans that I have seen recently are the same.
How long before it creeps in over here?

Anyway! Re the item; I don't think I'll be forking out £500 any time soon just so that I can cut down the silence generated by my current Shimano jockey wheels.

"Dr. Borat"

This has to be an elaborate joke, Shirley?

 

[fossyant]

They also sell graphine infused chain oil. Its black and looks a ruddy mess on a silver chain. Silly money too

 

[cyberknight]

its like apple phones very pretty but not worth the price

 

[Arrowfoot]

It is not actually the price that is the issue. The product does not work. Dr Borut Fonda has a background in sports science and not engineering. He does bike fitting and has a bike fit studio in Slovenia and his client includes Tadej Pogacar. He claims to have a science lab where he is the lead scientist, a design studio in England and the products are manufactured in Poland.

Its an engineering and material science scam.

He started with oval chain rings, lube oil in small batches and I thing he got carried away.

Anyway he is available for a bike fit.
