You get more than what you pay for, good fit, very good looking (love it!) and like others have said before very easy to tighten, not the lightest clamp ever... but i wasn't expecting it to be for ̏15 but still light and very good quality :) I ordered late on thursday night and arrived saturday morning, what more can you ask from free postage! Was also very nice to open up and find a compliment

Got a new frame with old ISCG tabs, whereas my E13 LG1+ was ISCG05. They want ̏41 just for a new backplate! Superstar did the whole device on sale for ̏35. An easy choice! It fitted straight on, with no faffing of washers or spacers (no instructions in the envelope, but I know what I'm doing). First time I've ever fitted a chain device without a) resorting to having to bodge it in some fashion o

Got it with dirtmag subscription but wanted to buy it anyway. Great stuff, clears mud much better than my old boomerang device, is much lighter and fits great! Below couple of remarks on fitting it to Supreme DH 09: it does not fit straight from the box HOWEVER if you follow this procedure you will get a perfect fit. You need exactly 4mm spacers on the tabs or equivalent stack of washers. Mine

As it says on the tin, '180mm brake adaptor'. So beware, will NOT fit my Avid 185mm rotors. I run mine with Superstar 180's and they're great, but it's impossible to switch wheel sets with slightly larger, standard rotor size. Otherwise another excellent product.

My original pad got brake oil on them so ordered these because of the price. Came in the post really quick and so far they seem much better but have to let them bed in a little.

i have had lots of gear from superstar so i had high hopes for the cable cutters, they cut inner cable ok but they will not cut outer cable , grips are very harsh on hands, save your money and bye a set of PARK tool cutters (sorry superstar)

Arrived today in blue color and they look awesome! You can't believe how light these QRs are and fitted on my bike they look fantastic. Still can't commend on durability but I hope they will stand all trail rides. Highly recommended for looks and weight so far. Thank's Superstar again!

I just bought these on a whim as they were on offer. very nice looking lightweight bit of bling out of the box - weigherd them against my bog standard Shimano QRs and these are approx 4oz lighter. BUT when I fitted them, they do not have the same "locking force" and after a ride at llandegla yesterday it got me thinking. A quick trawl of some MTB website forums last night seem to suggest

Works great, the tensioning tool clicks on and off the handle so it wont be lost, the teeth are perfectly shaped and grip your BB with no problems. Great product much cheaper than Park Tools version
