Absolute Black - Rear Mech cage

[vwsurfbum]

I know I'm no roadie, but I can see this is where this is being marketed to.
Has anyone spent the crazy £700 on buying one?

Hambini’s videos are totally unwatchable but I think he may be right on this one.

The bike mechanic I used had fitted one recently and said it felt like something from a Christmas cracker! I like a bit of bling but I wouldn’t consider it, even at half the price.

One small twig would be the end of that derailleur, also doubt it would make it through one season of use in real world conditions in regards to the bearing and the teeth.

Should be rebranded AbsoluteNonsense.
It’s a solution to a problem that never existed.

Never mind cycling being the new golf, it’s turning into the new HiFi with the levels of bullshine on offer.

Would love it. To go on my £10k custom Feather titanium road bike , which would sit among its 10 carbon brothers and sisters in my giant and well secured garage. That the flying pigs would occasionally use.

Gotta love Hambini, although he's toned his reviews down a lot.

That mech is fully deserving of the title speck of ste on the anus of humanity.

I'd struggle not to laugh if I saw someone that had bought one of those.

I know two lads who have Feather cyclocross bikes, and they get used as intended. It pains me to see them used and abused so.

I will let one of them off though, as he can always make himself another…

Hope you've negotiated mates rates!

Don't have the money but it's the one super-price price bike I'd allow my fat arse to buy if times turned great. The beauty level somehow seems less ridiculous spinning slowly than some Sworks/Dogma.

And tbf to the other, Ti is perfect material for smashing around on....

Unfortunately I don’t know him that well.

I don’t think he makes any titanium stuff though?

Whoops my bad, totally using the wrong name - was talking about Sturdy, not Feather.

Feather's are lovely but these insane. Think I mix them up as name suits the look more. As would the (pointless) AB pulley wheel:

Absolute Black. Purveyors in the finest Snake Oil. Energy saving super lubes , oval rings & now this piece of utter uselessness. Drink or drugs would have to be involved in the buying process.

A bike from Sturdy is dream bike stuff for me although I’m not sure we should be talking about them in the same breath as AB… One is a work of art. The other is a piece of st made out of cheap plastic.

I love a bit of snake oil
their oval rings are quite good to be fair but over priced by four times others.
