Always fancied a thumb brake but why are they so expensive for piece of machined alloy ???

r1flyguy:
I think it's like most things which are small volume production, a lot of initial cash injection for design & production, not a huge amount of sales like mass produced items.

That's my thinking anyway.

I know what you mean the Brembo one is £450 +  :shock:

I get what your saying but they seem quite simple in design so I wouldn't have thought a huge amount of money goes into design and producing them........your right about low sales though I expect.
