They are a great company. I was one of the first people to report issues with the 203mm rotor and Wayne personally worked with me to resolve the issue.

They have some very innovative products coming to market that I can't wait to test.

Thanks for the info - They looked promising at first, but I was curious about the company.

Looks like a good product.
