Knuckles
Lives under a bridge
Short answer, no, it's all about the wank factor.Just discovered that that the hose on my Reverb dropper post is fouling on my quick release seatpost collar so looking for a new bolt up collar with a lower profile.
Now for what may be a stupid question Cheapo ebay collar or overpriced Hope etc. is there really that big of a difference in performance for ten times the price?
Having said that, I've had El chappos that've lost the anno in a couple of months, bolts have rusted, and heads that have rounded out, one that the bolt kept stretching, and one that the bolt snapped the first tighten, about a thousand miles from spec torque.
