dismissed

[Thumper]

Yangxing tires include dual sport, knobby, and road tires. Yangxing tires are comparable to less expensive tires like Kenda, IRC, etc. But US citizens dismiss the brand, because it is Chinese. It isn't a political thing. It is still this ridiculous 50s hangover about cheap low quality manufacturing. Yup. I just got dismissed (on a Craiglist post).

The truth is that Chinese engineering and manufacturing is excelling in all areas. Yes, we all know about the cloning and patent violations, but it is hard to argue with quality, and success. And the engineering is building on expired patents. Unfortunately, we have little in the way of manufacturing sector.

All I can say is that these dismissals just keep the lid on the price of our burgeoning list of bikes, and equipment. So I won't complain
