    Hi, this is Simon from LifeCycle :) just want to drop you a note to thank you for the write up on your blog about Griprings.

    However, just would like to clarify that LifeCycle is the Official Distributor/ Retailer for Asia. Also, there are some other official retailers that we supply to including the following:

    - Airwalk
    - Radstation
    - Chapter2Cycle
    - Asia Bike School
    - E-walker

    Mighty Velo is not an official retailer for this product. So would appreciate if you can help to amend the information so that the public may not be misled?

    Thanks again for the wonderful write up and appreciate your attention.
