Wellgo V8 
Posted: 21/03/03
'CHEAP, BUT WOULD NOT BUY THEM AGAIN'
Strengths:
They worked OK for a while.
Weaknesses:
They develop play in the bearings quickly and I had one fall apart on me when I was doing a long ride, although I got about 6 months use out of them.
Overall:
Not very good really, They are not the same as DMR V8 pedals if you compare them they are totally different as the DMR are a different shape with cleaner curvy looks, also the DMRs have allen key pins. I will definately spend a bit more next time.

Shimano M535 Wheel - Front 
Posted: 04/03/03
'NICE LOOKING AND DURABLE'
Strengths:
Strong, looks, price(on sale at halfords at the moment).
Weaknesses:
They are not really much lighter than normal 32 spoke wheels.
Overall:
i like these wheels, i have not had to true them yet after 5 weeks hard use. I really like how they look although some strange people I know think they are ugly. At first when I rode them i was a bit nervous, kept thinking they would fall apart if I went of a curb badly, but no problems really and I now thrash them about like a normal wheel. I dont know how well they would hold up for a heavier person as im only 11 stone.

Marzocchi Z1 Drop Off 1 
Posted: 10/10/02
Updated: 27/11/06
'GREAT BUT BIT TWISTY'
Strengths:
Plush loads of travel just generally nice.

Weaknesses:
I twisted mine in a crash the first week I got them also they twist easily when cornering as I notice this a lot with my Hope M4 205mm.
Overall:
Nice fork but go for the 2003 model as it has slightly thicker stanchions so should twist less.

Avid Rollamajig 
Posted: 10/10/02
Updated: 30/01/07
'REALLY GOOD'
Strengths:
Smoothens the cable flow and makes shifting nicer.
Weaknesses:
Little expensive at £10 for a small plastic thing.
Overall:
Brilliant little invention although it is £10 which is worth it for the performance it gives but it is a small plastic thing which would cost avid about 10p to make.

Magura Louise FR Rear 
Posted: 11/08/02
'GREAT'
Strengths:
great stopping power, light for a disc, and work in mud unlike rim brakes. got my pair for £135 Bargain!!
Weaknesses:
had probs with my back brake when I first got it cuz it needed to be bled.
Overall:
good break great stopping power enough to endo with. I think these are just as good as hope minis which a mate of mine has, although the rotor doesnt look quite as nice.
