Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. There is so much Chinese junk out there these days,I'm wary about buying almost anything with out someones good advice. Thanks in advance!!

Have many out there. They are a high quality "inexpensive" rod. No major issues. MB

I'd definitely buy them again. More meat around the the bolts/studs. Pin end was just under.001". Fairly lite rod at 610 grams, and yes they were dead on. With the Dragonslayer crank I ended up with .018-.002" across the board. Last edited by lenweiler; 02/07/09 01:06 PM. Damn! I dropped my change.............
