For the most part I can see a quality difference in "good" products vs. generic cheapo items. i.e. payless shoes wear out MUCH faster than say, ADIDAS or New Balance. What gives?

Honestly the quality of materials and workmanship is much higher on the Avids. It's literally a night and day difference ON THE BIKE
