Believe me, I will! But I will tell you this. I have a great memory and a big data box upstares. I know for a fact that some posters endorse certain wheels, components, frames materials etc to the clyde population. But then later seem to conveniently forget to return and admit to the clyde pop some faliures they may have had.

If I were endorsing carbon fiber shorts and had a splinter in my butt 6 months later, I would have returned and said, "You know what, I was wrong, they suck!".

Same if I had the same experience years ago. I would have brought up all the facts before endorsing a product. Whether or not I thought it was a fluke or not. Only to give the others all the facts and let them form their opinions.

I know some 150 lb ti riders that say they love the ride BUT, they do admit to the broken downtubes they have experienced. I can really respect an honest endorsemnent over those that leave out some of the important facts.

I keep mental notes for a long time! ....cause I'm mental!
