shifting is clunky, lower grade plastics, shifters flexed around during use, rear der. cage twisted easily.....
but they seem to "work" ok.
i've run across one of their Advent derailleurs that was "worn out, too loose" with very little outward appearance of use, or crashes.
i've run across that same thing with a SRAM x7 or X9 rear der. too... both were relegated to the "parts only" ders bin
