Anyone have any of their products?

I’m looking for a dropper post and they have appeared at a few retailers. I’ve not heard of them before and wondered if anyone had any experience of them?

Been around for ages. A basic utility brand. No bling. Just basic stuff that tends to work

Fairly decent, cheap tools.

I bought one of their mini pumps, went to use it on my last ride and the seal to the valve wouldn't hold air, only lasted about 22 years, so I've bought another, same model. I have also had their bottle cages, bar tape, grips, tools and more. Never had a problem, like a less well advertised Topeak, really.

Another Pon brand isn't it? A lot of basic stuff but a lot of underrated stuff as well; Their bar tape is my go to.

I have a few of their tools and their sunglasses are pretty decent (including the ones sized for kids) - not flashy but generally reliable and good value.

I was putting some of their bar tape on the other day, it is lush.

Tools, great overshoes and decent jockey wheels.

Accel group rather than PON but yeah, all fairly basic Far Eastern stuff, but sensible prices.

Their heavy duty overshoes were amazing

I bought one of their chainrings in an emergency as a Surly one bent! I chose it because it's the only one which fitted which the bike shop I was near has. It's been really good, lasted ages, still going strong, works very well.

It's common here in NL, and it's ace in a does-the-job-unpretentiously way.

Yep, as above, just unfussed, solid kit.

Solid brand, been around for years. Tech suppliers to a number of top level road teams.

All good experiences for me. No Glamour Tax.

They do some excellent seatpost clamps, including some of the more unusual sizes,  named “Strangler” I tthink.

Agreed, I really rate their gravel tape, but it doesn't really match the pricing structure of their other kit - £19 per kit when I was looking last night!

A decent alternative to Lifeline for tools and accessories.

Used their seat posts ( not droppers) on several bikes. They're good, straight forward cheap and well made, and am currently running a pair of their flat pedals on my commuter. Although they are quite heavy the grip is great for my work shoes and the bearings seem to be holding up well.

I've used their skyscraper seat posts and strangler seat clamps a few times and they've been faultless would definitely use their stuff again
