They told me £185 for the aluminium ones. Which is a bit steep in my eyes, especially when they are just stuck on. Surely after some abuse they'd be coming away from the originals?
....No, they won't easily come away from the originals. Every time you use them you are pulling them towards you and against the originals, not away from.
How on earth do you give paddles abuse anyway? - How hard you press them doesn't influence their action - A light finger touch is just as effective as a heavy handed touch.
Btw, thankyou topher for posting that link

They never were cheap but they are extremely good quality and fit perfectly. Aluminium will get very cold in winter and very hot in summer.
