Saville enquiry

Re: Bike Insurance

... for years before her and yet she got a better deal!! I don't tend to go with companies I hear of I go to price and what I get out of it. Eg MCE were great on both times I bikes got nicked they didn't let me down at all either time. And settled up in the time they stated they had to wait.

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

Probably, very true. In general.

I suspect that a lot of our generation (ie, the one with kids now of school age) compare and contrast to when we were at school. Human nature.

Re: Chain and sprockets

I was warned off DID a few years ago, but by all accounts they took on board the criticism and they're not back to being high quality

The issue I'm told is that they were failing in races due to the change in quality of the chains.

Re: Chain and sprockets

I got told DID used to be the best when they were made in the DID factory in Japan but since they subcontracted the manufacturing out the quality had dropped off.

Not sure how true just what I heard.
