Sato Clippon Warning
« on: May 16, 2007, 05:46:44 PM »
Hi Guys,

I thought i would share this with you.

Ok so i bought some sato clippons from flea bay a while ago.

I got round to fitting them the other day.  so while i was doing a bit of work on the bike sunday, i decided to check around her for general stuff.

when i got to the Sato Clippons, i noticed that 1 of the allen Keys was loose, so i sarted to tighten it and before any pressure or tightness achieved, it snapped......... :shock:

So now i have replaced the whole clippons and they must have been damaged in some way at some time or other.

Lesson to be learned........  1 watch what we buy on flea bay and 2 things as important as a clippon should be bought through the proper channels for reasons like this.

not heard of this happening anywhere else, but then again i aint been looking, also Sato is usually top kit. :icon_thumright:

Some are slightly longer for more leverage.

1. Riding position

2. lighter

3 look the bollocks

just feel a lot better than oe mate, if you get a fully adjustable sett, you can get them to feel real nice, also i get pains in my rists on a long ride, these help me a lot. :occasion14:
