    So two more lollipops would've made up for the hornswaggling? :p

    Keep in mind Icon doesn't make the U-bolts. They are outsourced like any other hardware. I had an Icon coil spring snap because the end coil wasn't ground fully square. It was replaced under warranty. "Made in USA" is all well and good until it's Made in Joe's Basement.

    Stock leafs are made by a Japanese company in Mexico. :p

    I can't tell if you're being serious or not. What comes from Oklahoma? I guess you've never heard of Garth Brooks, tornados, or Indian Casinos!?

    Ha, I just dig the Canadian topography I guess. The Canadian Rockies, Squamish, etc. I've always wanted to make it up there.

    In summary if you want to pay more for the same shit buy the Icon AALs. If you want to pay less buy the Wheeler's "manufactured" AALs (really just Icons). If you already spent more money buying the Icons thinking they were different because the product description and price led you to believe this, well I guess you got Hornswaggled.

    I'm thinking you meant to say balderdash, as opposed to a reference to selling men's wear..

    Kyle, I'm sorry you feel that a person should not be allowed to discuss and work through a negative experience with a popular vendor in an open forum. Also, I have yet to see any action on Wheeler's part to contact me (did I miss a post of theirs?). I'm glad that most people however picked up on the "hornswagle" as meaning the conversation had a much lighter note from me than how it was received by some. I was actually laughing when I wrote it, not crying and whining like a lil bitch as how some took it. So much can be lost in translation from thought to text...

    Actually they threw in a couple of jawbreakers in the bag as well... fine another +1 to Wheelers


    This "Mexico" place that you speak of... Isn't that where they make Ford and Chevy?
