    Been done before, but the consensus was that they were made by either Galaxy or Cadburys :(

    Yeah there was a guy who's son's back wheel came in and seized after it collapsed. A few others reported the same problem.
    Don't get me wrong, I run chinese levers and some other stuff, but I've read too many horror stories regarding the chain adjusters.

    There's nothing wrong with them the people that slag of these Chinese adjusters have they actually used them no I didn't think so iv been using Chinese adjusters for 18 months now not on the blade and have done 5000 hard road miles 5 runs in the Ramsey sprint 2 last year 3 this year and there in just as good condition as when I bought them iv had Giles on the blade not that impressed no easier to use than the OEM set up and certainly not better quality as for these lightecs everyone raves about since when did Italy start making things that last I missed that must of been away that weekend I think there's a bit of snobbery with a lot of these things expensive doesn't mean its the best I think people don't like the fact they have spent nearly £200 on when you can get an equally good product for a quarter of the price and the only reason any of them will fail is if the axle nut is not torqued up properly then the stress goes on the adjuster and that's all it is just an adjuster iv just ordered a set of madmotos for the blade thank you have a nice day

    @rebel Just trying to help a fellow Blader out. Entirely subjective, but I wouldn't dismiss an opinion based on me not having had any myself as I did research them before deciding not to buy them and don't I rule stuff out just because it comes from china As said, that's where my levers come from. Glad yours are ok, but it's a fact that too many others have failed.

    See the thread that ultimately made my mind up, seems based on the ones you linked. Pay special attention to the damaged caused by them as shown on post 31.
