I found them to be extremely helpful, I had to replace a couple of parts on mine, it had been down the road before I got the bike.

I also liked the fact that the magnums could be repaired. I personally would buy magnums as a first choice after having a set.

Thanks Des, I'll take your advice. I suppose the final decision will come down to the best I can afford. I priced the staintunes at around $1300 which is a bit XE. And thanks everyone who replied, this is truly a wonderfully supportive newsgroup. Des wrote: > I had Magnum carbon fibre on mine, the note was fantastic.
