No my argument is that Gilles is a known quality and the knock offs are an unknown quality. For $30 I'll stick with what I know! To each his own, I cut corners on stuff almost everyday. I understand the definition of "value" and it doesn't only pertain to price!

Oh and because they look cool imho. I do honestly like how precise they are adjustment wise but as I stated, I own a Motion Pro chain alignment tool and a caliper....PLUS I can actually count threads on any bike's chain adjuster.

Oh yea once I determined that they were good to go, I just use them now and have been quite happy.

Ok, enough bullshit. Who is going to man up, buy the knock offs, crash test em, then do a write up?
