only thing not to my taste is the pedals (I'm a PC convert unfortunately!) and the lack of brakes.

other than that, one pretty cool looking ride

tisk, tisk i expected more.........

and yeah hawky i would recomend it but it IS heaving compared to most other hubs and the only hub guard that fits that i could get hold of was the knight one which is also pretty heavy. tough as hell but it IS heavy.

That's what i wouldn't run, or run again. Some aesthetic, some because they suck, or because they did suck.

You said the Ratchet is "heaving", what's that mean? I wouldn't mind a Ratchet when they come in 48h because they're funbolt too. But i've never seen one in person to ask for a try. I'm sceptical on the engagement, that's another reason i wasn't a fan of the Q-lite, as they were surprisingly very slack.
