As I understand there are a lot of chinese made DiD copies doing the rounds on eBender. I just got a DiD x-ring C&S kit from Jaws and he aint gonna rip anyone off, sound bloke.

Usual warnings apply I guess, if it sounds too good to be true...........

You can't fault his feedback on fleabay though :thumbsup)
100% with over 10500 items sold :thumbsup)

so perhaps it could be quality gear that he flogs :)

Bit personnel choice would be the ZVM2 :thumbsup)

On further reflection and research it is a good price, the ZVM-X's are the expensive ones at about £130 odd for a gold one, the VX's are around the £80 mark, with a gold one at around £90. So with sprockets is a good buy, as long as the sprockets are OK.

I can't say if he's good or not but you generally give feedback on ebay upon receipt.

If the chain is a fake and only lasts a few thousand miles then there's not a lot you can do with the feedback AFAIK.

It's a fair price for the set. The 'bird usually uses a ZVM (or above) graded chain, but the VM (VX as it is now) is still the smae size and is perfectly safe. It won't last as long as the ZVM type, but well cared for and with a Scottoiler, you'll still see 20,000 miles out of it.

Matter of choice and budget. When the OEM on mine goes, I'm gonna try a VX at that price and see what it's good for- got to be worth it for that dosh and 20,000 miles is between 2 and 3 years riding for me when all's said and done. Who knows--- could be a genuine bargain :mrgreen:
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.
