Re: Chinese Parts Review
Tyga have some Taiwanese made brake discs - anyone got any feedback regarding those?
I spoke to them about'em and they've had no negative feedback form road or race.

Re: Chinese Parts Review
china are quantity, not quality.
Japan/Taiwan are quality not quantity.
we were discussing this a few weeks ago at work, China are flooding the markets with cheap nasty shit. at the moment you cant return goods for a refund due to communism (cant remember what exactly). one day they will realise and tighten up on quality.

Re: Chinese Parts Review
Im glad this post has brought out some discussion. Can I say that I dont like wasting money but on this instance I bought an old Amiga a4000 computer for a tenner and sold it on ebay for £130, so really I only wasted around a tenner of my money finding out about these poor quality parts, the Amiga sale paid for those parts as it was just lying in my paypal account, mind you I could have used it now as my exhaust has just got a hole in it, Sods law.
I agree with LP, just bite the bullet and go for original if possible and Parus I know they look ok in the photo but you could end up with a bigger bill than you expected unless the parts company is well known I would not risk it. I do know there are decent parts coming out of China, I do believe they build Honda 125s there and several other makes, such as Peugeot scooters so they cant be doing everything bad but in those instances I think it boils down to brand names quality control, something these NC29 parts I bought appear to lack. For instance I cant get my head around why they would go to the bother of producing something like a hacksaw blade that wont cut and bends within seconds of using it, just seems a waste of time and material.
thanks

Re: Chinese Parts Review
in reference to the front discs of ebay i got some wavies on the cheap from china n as you guessed they warped at the first pill of the lever, leaving me out of pocket n looking for some secondhand originals, just so the bike was ride-able, as i didnt have the cash to buy new oem /oe ones,
lesson learnt , BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE!!!

Re: Chinese Parts Review

ive had the mirrors, only last weekend was almost home and 'whoosh' there goes my mirror as i was riding along, just fell off. the bolt had gone inside it so although it wasnt damaged cant fix it.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-NC29-Screen ... 1|294%3A50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

also got a screen brace as advertised on ebay, RUBBISH 1 week had rust, welds are atrocious and the frame fittings are literally a couple of washers (probably BZP) and are too far apart, i have to use 2 nuts to space out.

Re: Chinese Parts Review
First great topic! Glad to read other comments about this rubbish on the market. It looks so damn easy an cheap to order but it is always a disappointment.
I had one mistake with buying mirrors, and exactly as other people......there are crap.
