Alex Dark Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Theyre just awesomely strong with an amazing warranty...overpriced though in my opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt middler Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Theyre just awesomely strong with an amazing warranty...overpriced though in my opinion..I dont agree that they are over priced. As you say they are awesomely strong and have an amazing warranty, so it is worthe spending money on it.Isn't it like a 10 year warranty you get with them.If you want the best of anything, clothes, cars, etc etc... then you have to pay a bit more.

chrisbikefix Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) well i think yeh they might be over priced, but devide like the cost by how 3560 days (ten years warrenty basicly lol) thats how much its worth having .. .

Ladd Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 if you think about it....if you ride for 10 years how many headset would you mess up you would be set back about £90 on headsets.. with a CK you will pay £120 and get a free headset when yours brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
