bad quality? like the CNC work doesn't live up to the pics? or the anodizing is cheap? or what? because the stuff they have looks identical to other pieces. like compare the cyberstork bezels to their bezels that are a fraction the price and it is hard to pass on the deal

Anyone see this reverse lockout? I like the Raceseng one the most. The Perrin RLO has the cupped top and just isn't as appealing to the eye, but has smooth curves that are probably nice on the hand. The Raceseng isn't quite as smooth in curves but looks nice. This unit is between the two and has no large branding too. Anyone have this?

PS, as some of you know, there are some other decent items on aliexpress, some reviews I found in a search on the forums, but not on all the items they list.
Go with Raceseng, hands down the best knob I ever owned.

That was the plan. Im still patently waiting for a leather option from Raceseng. But the reverse lockout, that i was considering the aliexpress version.

Damn, that looks pretty good. I have a Raceseng silver and love the feel of it (even better when I had a matching Raceseng knob and hearing 'click' when i pull it up). But I was never a fan of the logo standing out.

What's up with that white line down the middle? Can't tell if it's the lighting reflection since it's on the inside too.

The stock RLO is very curved but it is rather bulky looking and of course, is plastic. I've never felt the Raceseng one, and even though I know it is high quality, I'm unsure if it feels like butter in the hands. The R might not feel good nor could the edges. It definitely looks the best in terms of proportions. But hearing you say it feels great makes me want it even more yet part of me wants to give this one a chance.

I'll speak for the Raceseng one as well - I friggin' love it! The edges feel a lot smoother than they look. There's really no downside!

Appreciate the opinion. I'll probably go with the Raceseng RLO.
