Quality v Cost?

[jowwy]

Whilst the internal gear cables on my HiMod Synapse don't rattle, the rear hydraulic line does. Intermittent and mostly down to the road surface. The rest doesn't creak - but its taken about 3 attempts, carbon assembly paste and the max recomended 6NM to stop the incredibly stupid seat post clamp to stop creaking and slipping.

My post never slipped or creaked luckily enough........I'm 18st too

Hmm, I think the fact that some have Seat Posts, BB, Cables etc that creak/rattle + slip for some but, not for others who have the exact same components, is a clear indication of the inconsistencies that exist within the quality control area of more than just one manufacturer.

Sorry if that sounded a bit ranty but, after doing your research and 'more importantly' saving up your hard earned cash, the last thing you want is to feel dissapointed with your proud new purchase
