Good to know.
Agree about the fact that’s the tech is there and always the thought they could well be made in the same factories as other branded posts
I think it’s to do with - emotionally:
A. Not feeling like you have someone or some brand to blame if it goes wrong
B. Feeling like you get what you pay for and there must be a reason it’s £100plus cheaper than branded oneBut intellectually:
A. What difference does that make. Branded stuff fails all the time
B. It’s just a bit of paint of a name and that’s how brands make their money

My review:
" Subjective: J&L costed £70 plus shipping, to me it's not that cheap for a no brand part I have to say and Taiwanese people make most of the bicycle in the world these days I believe the technology is there.
Objective: 1 year of regular gravel/ cross usage, nothing wrong with it. (I am not a particularly heavy person) "
I am only looking to sell because I changed to a frame with 27.2 clamp, would totally have the same one in that diameter but I just can't justify spending another £70 and wait for a month.
