so I think I solved the creaking on my cannondale;
I think we were all playing with fire when ordering these. especially as I weigh 85kg. I am surprised it has lasted so long, 3 whole years. this would have happened in the past 3 months or so
arrived in a week. real nice. seems to be very well made. the patterning is more subtle IRL. correct weight. 9/10 overall. would have been a 10 if the bolts werent a bit too long and silver
again came within a week. overall not as nice a finish as the previous one, but not awful at all. there is however a strange mark/defect on one side which is a bit shit. have opened a dispute. weight is correct. 6/10 (will score higher if they replace it, which they always do)
