Not to say how annoying they will be before breaking... | |

| Mar 25, 2012 at 12:12 | comment | added | Colin Newell | I completely agree, I used to ride with one on my not terribly light weight mtb and I gave up with them not because I hated them so, but simply because they proved to be unreliable and had a tendency to get in the way on rough trails. The convenience outside shops was outweighed by the problems with them working loose on the trails. | |
