Chain Gang: Please remember: ALL ALLOY clusters (and other similar superlight parts) are made for racing and high performance use. The top team mechanics check these parts every day and toss them when in doubt. So either be sponsored or have deep pockets and don't complain when the stuff wears fast. It's disposable equipment and should be regarded as such. You want to put it on a show bike? BEAUTIFUL! Want to tool around on it, have your check book full and ready at your hand rubbing supplier. But , the ride sure is faster and smoother. Just be willing to pay for it,
sans grumbling.
