Reviews
I doubt that this carbon composite, doesn't feel rigid. PLA feels more robust. This is simply 3d printed with who knows what. I doubt this will last and definitely not worth $60. Hell, even included tapering sleeves are already damaged while trying the fit. I guess it will work but it's not what it's made out to be. Just stick with your Grado stock gimbles or maybe the metal versions are a better buy.
