Indicators

Post by Grim Reaper »

Well I dont really like doing this, but after going through 4 sets of these in less than 500 miles, I have to strongly not recommend buying these indicators. :angry:
They look OK, but after less than 200 miles, the rubber stems on the 1st set started to crack, so I returned them (at my cost) and they sent replacements.
Now after about another 300 miles, they are starting to do it again :mad:
I know they are budget indicators, but surely they should have lasted longer than this
