Randall and Adrian,
Adrian may have been refering to a private post I made to Steve. However, I
in no way ever implied that the parts were of poor quality. There are other
listers selling these larger diameter rear wheel cylinders at higher than
retail cost. I merely wrote Steve and informed him that the cheapest
available source, in the USA, offered them for $19.95 (which is Victoria
British).
I was just making Steve aware that other frequenters of this list are
offering "deals" on these cylinders that are not deals. I don't call that
being a killjoy, I call that being vigilant about helping other people avoid
overpaying for parts.
After all is said and done, Steve replied to me with the price he paid
Adrian, and Adrian's price is 100% competitive... even considering he is
located in the UK!
