Does anyone have any experience with this supplier?

My new aquisition requires new pipes all round and for only £20 more than standard flexi pipes would be worth it if they are the real deal. Just seems at £20 a set less than HEL ones just a bit too good to be true.

Googled them, it seems they are known about in the biking world with the only reviews i could find being for motor cycles.

The impression i get is that they are not fully stainless but some zinc plated parts as well.

Probably explains why they are a bit cheaper than HEL. i suggest you google them too in order to judge the balance of feedback they appear to be getting.

Pirtek are pricey, try good ridge, used them on all my bikes and trikes, superb quality.

Keep away from aluminium ends when fitted to stainless hoses, always go for stainless ends.
