Blue rotor bolts arrived today ,to be honest very disapointed they look very second hand and they are still in the packet! don't think it is a good idea to put the torx tool in the same space as the bolts, they are obviously getting scratched by the harder tool!

One of those tools you think, why? But when you use one you think why I did I never get one. Brilliantly simple and saves making nasty marks on your pads when knocking them back with a screwdriver.

I've given these spacers 3 stars based on functionality, they look the business, and it's always nice to colour coordinate bike bits...however, the spacers have a 'shoulder' on both faces which adds a couple of mm to the diameter and with a Nukeproof Warhead direct mount stem, they would'nt fit! I filed the shoulder off easy enough and they work, but just something worth knowing. Great service

The clamp looks sweet, and the balance bolt is a genius idea! Works a treat, my seat post won't be moving any time soon! Definitely recommended!

Finish is nice, but the weight is 223,6gr with QR adaptors That's more than 10% off :o( This rating is ONLY for the weight off the hub.

Got the four pack at start of the imaginary summer and still on my first set running in new style xt's on my Intense. Really chuffed and could not rate enough - especially for the price! Just done three days in Wales as well as all the other wet riding of the summer and plenty of pad left. Ride style is trail/all mountain with some 'careful' downhill ;). These will be my replacement choice.

Spent three days in Wales and gave these pads a nice work out, some serious downhill sections and lots of hard braking as well... wet, sandy conditions and these performed brilliantly. and I still have loads of life left in them as well after this trip... Well done Superstar

If you are considering a 10mm through bolt you have come to the correct web site. Stop considering and just buy one of these. SUPERB efficient service from Superstar. The product itself is beautifully made, the cam lever is the first one I have ever found so easy to use and obtain a really tight fit. As for the difference, on my Giant VT frame it converts an already good frame into even better. th

Could not recommend this stem enough. Tough, good looking, competitively priced. It has it all. I bought this to replace the stock stem on my Cube Acid. I bought the 70mm version and it is everything I was looking for. I ride mainly Black/Red Trails and fast paced Off road riding and this stem is as solid as they come. As good as stems twice it's price.
