I'm still pretty happy with my Hans Dampf's front and rear.. but I do find they are sensitive to pressure..
wearing pretty well too... trailstar up front, pacestar in the rear
here are some pics.. you can see by the lights I've been using this as a commuter the last few weeks.. the bike will come with the light (magicshine clone) and computer..
you can see by the original grips how little work this has done...
so you've ridden with FiveTens and aggressive flat pedals then?? or is this just your opinion..

braking performance was very good and cornering grip was excellent.. could really rail...
agreed.. wow.. that is a good deal.. surprised it's still for sale
