Decided to get some HiLo's for the front but at $120 with shipping...

What are the thoughts on the Adjustarides from Minisport? I have a Mate in that area who can bring em over for me and save shipping.
The other thing would be the alloy Knockoffs which I can get Stateside for $45

The alloy knockoffs are cheap, functional, but heavy and ugly. It just depends what you want out of it.

I've compared a spun alloy one and a minisport type and there is a huge weight difference between them. The minisport type being much lighter. Plus these have a grease nipple.

the big difference is in the cone seat , the alloy knockoffs having a flat platform wich isn't designed correctly, the minisport (minispares too) having a nice curved seat platform that does increase the stifness as the cone
compress;
I'm using minisports one and the quality is very good, they do incluse new knucles too which had for what you pay.
perhaps a detail but they are also using a smaller adjustable nut which simply is much easier too put a key on them in this tight space
