    It’s like all things on the web though ,, you will only hear of the bad things , you don’t hear about the good working things so much .

    I imagine the number of C-ABS blades and
    Baby blades sold all over the world between 2008 and 2012 is probably 1000’,s and 1000,s many of which are happy owners …….. maybe ?

    When it works it's lovely. I tried it out.
    But when it fails it is beyond any economic repair so swap it out.

    Fails is 'lever just comes back to the bar'.
    A true brown trouser moment.

    Yes but it should never fail more than once if it’s to do with brakes on a bike that can do 180mph
    In fact it should never fail more than once on anything
    May be that’s what happened to mcGuinness but he is so well off with Honda he daren’t say
