From Chinese Bike parts on line.

Anyone used them? Greatly underestimated manufacturer or false economy waste of time.

Noi idera. I would say it depends on what you're saving and what you're fitting them to. What could go wrong? They don't fit - send them back. They fall to pieces in use - oh dear. My general feeling: I would.

I am interested by that comment. Do you mean that "cast rings are shite", or that "these rings will be cast in a shite material", or something else? Also, have you used these pistons before in any motor?

^^ This. I don't know that make but 2T pistons have a different life. Not just oil and mixtures but also skimming over transfer ports. If a ring has a dose of another unmixed metal at a critical location near a port then it could break. Remember too that 2T pistons are pinned into place and can't be moved for a better position.

I understand the low miles low use thing but still - for me some parts are just too critical to cut costs with.
