No, they did not reply to me at all, which shows they don’t really give a crap. Jeff is going to talk to them and since he is another china manufacturer, it may hold some weight. So far they have been minimizing media damage and playing defensive measures. I don’t like it, but again, it’s not my call. If they want to dig themselves into a hole, go for it. If they think that this does not bother their top dollar, okay. I won’t make decisions for them because they as a business can make their choice, and I can make mine. I gave them my 2 cents and so will Jeff, but I won’t cry about it if they decide to say fuck you. There are other options out there, and if I feel brave I’ll keep riding these because I still like how they feel.
It is not worth my time to convince someone else of what I wish for. I understand you think all my posts have been defending them, I have simply been making a point to let everyone know how these manufactures think and operate, and don’t hold your hopes too high, and make an educated purchase decision knowing this. That is all.
