I used to buy their stuff, Not any more on principle. Just for this reason. Its not ' Just business', its creativity theft and livelyhood theft.

They are on the blacklist as far as I am concerned.

Ive read on a forum somewhere as well, they copied a guys disc hand brake design before he could patent it or something. Sound like a bunch of :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:

yep, there's a huge stink on the pommy forums after they wanted to stock the X-Engineering disc handbrake, then copied it and are flogging it as their own. They are even using a picture of the X-Eng brake still on their website !

:lol: :lol: true, doesn't look like the ones in my front end, although at least they'd be easier to instal. I had to use a 60 ton press to squeeze my slotted bushes in, and the guage said 45 ton as I was doing the squeezing :shock:

You've now discovered the wonderful business ethics of Scrap Iron racing. Equipe and X-Eng are just 2 of the other prominet examples.

Paging Michele - you guys arranged to sell the real thing yet? Sounds like you need to flood the UK market with the real thing, so no one buys the inferior copies.

why buy when you can simply drill out the originals?

Not sure how long they will last though?

that's what everyone was doing before Sam had his bushes made. They don't tend to last too long.

Yep, and that is the really stupid bit about them getting the design wrong. Sam discusses on THIS forum is great detail how and why they are designed.

Hi Ben,
how was Chicago?

As to the disc brake...being part of the LR4x4 BB I firstly contacted Si and dealt with him...I have to say the shop is a Sc*rpion R@cing distributor as well so it happens to sell their stuff sometimes.
Personally I'm not in personal things,neither I know what's behind the story in details,but I support X-Eng of course.
FWIW as I'm no more sure I'll keep the job
:bad-words:

N.B.
Should I leave the Toy-Rover conversions would leave with me
(this would mean lower prices).
:finger:

Gimme a yell when back.

John, doing what they've done, I'd reckon they've never even seen a Haultech bush 'in the flesh'. They've heard about it, and tried to cash in.
