can someone fill me in about planet-x? i was really into mountain bikes when they (i think) started, and their gear was always cheapo copies of higher-end stuff (like a version an azonic's then famous CNCed stem). what are they like these days?

They are the same company as ON ONE as far as i know, they seem to be good vfm but i have never been near one. I like their new carbon track frame though . .

Planet X, and to an extent On One, used to do a lot of stuff which was rebadged Taiwanese generic OEM stuff. So it wasn't rebadged brand X or brand Y it was generic kit that Brand X or Brand Y got badged up for them. Plaent X and On One used to do the same.

The frames are very much designed from scratch and then built in Taiwan.
Nowadays Brant and co spec all the dimensions etc. and get their own stuff built to order. Some of it also seems to be rebadged generic OEM stuff as well (their track hubs being a good example which I've seen branded as Woodman, Cogswell etc...

It's decent kit at a decent price sold by decent people.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
