Ah yes, but sometimes you get more than you pay for and sometimes you don't get what you pay for too.


These frame mount kits do require a bit of "adjusting" to get them to work nearly flawlessly, but they can be made to do so....I had 500++ miles on two different ones that I sold, and I gave the new owners the rundown on them and they have never called or complained, even though they both got my number and were told to feel free to call about ANYTHING.

As I said 'round here somewhere- They aren't a super powered state of the art kit, but like a model T or an old VW bug, they are made to keep running with minimal maintenance and care....but you have to do that small amount of maintenance and care.

As we all have, feel free to buy an "unknown quantity" and let us know how it works....I know I did when I first got into this hobby.

I'm sorry to disagree. Just in general... you do not always get what you pay for. Lots of dealers, of everything, charge more than other dealers of the exact same product.

I was a wedding photographer for 30 years and 'you get what you pay for' is how a man charging twice what his product was worth would say to try and justify and exorbitant price. Some people believe it and some know better.

If that was the case there would be no Walmart. I can buy a park bike chain there for 7 bucks and a park bike chain at the bike shop for 10 bucks. Was that park chain at the bike shop worth more.

I have no idea about the bike kits you are talking about, I'm saying as a general rule you do not ALWAYS get what you pay for. Those on the internet should know that better than anyone there are scams everywhere. It's also why the old saw, "buyer beware" was coined. That wouldn't be necessary if it were always true that you "Get what you pay for."

But the statement was in reference to bike kits, so if you say you have no idea about the bike kits, there's nothing you can say. I never meant there were no exceptions.
No, if you pick the saying apart, there are exceptions. It was never meant to not have exceptions. But in some cases, it is very true. Depends on the situation. If you buy buy Chinese made bolts, you get them cheaper than American made bolts, but the Chinese bolts will break before the Americans will. The Chinese engines are cheaper but the quality is definitely lower than the Japanese made engines, which are more expensive. We could argue the point to no end.

Yes and this is not the place to argue about semantics. By the way admitting I know nothing about the kits you are talking about, does NOT mean i do not have the right to voice a different opinion. But thanks for YOUR opinion I will file it away.

Oh boy, here we go. That wasn't what I was saying at all. I was saying that it can go either way depending on the subject. Sorry to get you so upset.

And I'm sorry if I upset you.

Of course we both still believe the same things that's why arguments are a waste of time no one ever changes their minds.

One thing we can all agree on is that we have experienced some variances in the quality of these Chinese kits. Sometimes its funny, sometimes its frustrating, but we still love them.
