the Counter to your Experience is the MANY reviews showing brand new broken shimano parts that is Not in any way Normal for Shimano standard of Quality!
You don't see those same reviews on Modernbikes, JensonUSA, biketiresddirect, Merlin, Chain Reaction Cycle, etc x 10!!!! too many Legit sellers with legit positive reviews of Shimano parts. Now enter Amazon with LOADS of bad reviews on Shimano parts.
There is definitely something funky and odd going on. To Ignore Amazons practice with China sellers and allowing the scams to continue is LOUD!
