Lets get back to reality. Just because Brian says its ok doesnt make it so.
All I am asking is - was this 'free promo' stock provided to bikeforums.net by the company that owns Detour bars?
If so then at a bare minimum you need to fully disclose this in the original post so forum members understand the nature of the post (advertorial).
If not and you innocently just randomly decided to start a thread on Detour bars that you happened to pay for and try recently then that is fantastic thanks for the independent review.....
