Con: Makes your bike sound like a diesel taxi
Might be a pro if you're a fan of diesel taxis

You can't beat the rattle of an FX4!

They sound more like a diesel powered cement mixer full of gravel.
But then I did run one BITD with youthful abandon. If it was good enough for JMC and Dave Hemming...

Yes, but they go on for ever!
Several notable celebrities and even a very prominent royal personage is supposed to have had one to be able to drive around London unnoticed?

I agree, never skips, so far not off road and not on the worst potholes Edinburgh can chuck at it.

I had a DCD back in the day, always loved it. I rode in the peaks most of time too. I think I tried one at a later date with a 8/9sp set up and I don't think it was wide enough to cope with a triple up front.

I'd love one again, silver, black or gold please!!!

I'd let you have mine, but it belongs in the box of bits that can't be parted with - purely for sentimental reasons.

Why would you tempt me like that? Boo Hoo :-(
Understand if you don't want to part with it though.
