It’s a service he refined to get ntpt carbon patterns close to gen spec, in my opinion he should be able to charge what ever he thinks... if you don’t want his product. Don’t buy it ... simple I never understood the abuse he took from a lot of users here on RWI.

If you read this thread you won’t be in doubt why. He has a really bad tone towards customers. And this thread shows why he’s now banned on the forum:

Not sure about the quality but Ali has some vendors available to provide the Velcro strap (with tool)

This one looks okay buddy, but I can clearly see that the textile used by SMP_lover is much better quality. And also has a slight shine because of the better texture.
But these are obviously a cheaper alternative.

Do you know if 27mm will fit. I didn’t measure mine and now I’ve sold it.

I agree with you, SMP would be the way to go for me. Just pointing out there are other options.

I don’t know mate, I got a RM001 v2. They advertise this will fit. I am very tempted by this new one but TBH the fact part of my money will go to the douche owning ABD totally put me off

True, just saw that. They've written it should fit 3502 also. Who knows.

Yeah, valid point. I was thinking the same............

Interesting reading all the new ZF upgrades n stuff. What first hand experience did you have with ABD and what did he do that you’re so pissed?

Read that Interesting stuff too. Though new to this forum I’ve read enough to understand that it’s not advisable to purchase from anyone who’s not on the forum’s select list of sellers irregardless of how well known they are outta here. But I’ve also read plenty of good reviews on this individual. It’s always good to learn more and not let anyone affect my judgement as it’s only sensible to know there’s always more to a story/face.

Being a RM enthusiast I’m only interested in how well these clones are going to be improved over time.

There is a pretty good RM rep newly released. The RM 35-02 ZF V3. You can see it in puretime and intime’s RM sections.

Don't waste your time and money. Those are rubbish and will be thrown straight to the bin once you receive them. Strap won't fit and tool is useless too.

I believe that is true lol but I am looking for an insert (but buying one of those rubbish straps) I could use on my RM001 to mount one of your Velcro straps... without the insert I don’t think is possible. Correct?

As far as i know the RM001 rep does not use the conventional insert (although those vary greatly in thickness and width from factory to factory, so i'm concentrating on this 035 release fro ZF as it is consistent with oem specs )

for that one they have used some strange method with faux screws and screwbar.

So that velcro strap from aliexpress won't help you in any way.

Is there a place where we can see the strap and color choices? I can also DM you if you prefer (realize this thread is not about straps)

Thanks!!

Agreed, the gear between 12 and 1 looks darker as well...as it should be but looks lighter like the previous version in the Intime photos.
