Does anyone use them? What do the users think of them?

    Friend used them the other week for a service, cost him about £100 for chain, cables, cassette replacement. Replaced a 12-25 cassette with a 12-21 without letting him know. They did swap it over free of charge after using it for a bit though...

    I wouldn't have thought fudge was a particularly good material for a bike. Bit soft. Maybe you could increase the stiffness with reinforcement of toffee brittle?

    And cinder toffee for weight reduction?

    Liquorice tyres? Good traction....

    Those silver balls that you decorate cakes with for bearings.



    Still, useful if you "bonk".

    Wood is better.

    Yeah - I'm going to chuck a positive into them too.

    V good on folding bikes, the owner (Andrew) is obv pretty passionate about all things bike, the mechanic at their "paddington" shop is good (if its still the same guy) and they did v good prices on Sram stuff (prob not as cheap as some online retailers now, but still decent and reliable).

    +1 They're good guys.

    I bought a Sram Rival groupset from their west west London shop -- Fudges had the best price by far. They were missing the chainset in size/combination I wanted so couriered one to me at home for the next day.

    Make sure you don't mix up fudges, and A fudge and sons on Chiswick high road. I went in there to buy new pully wheels and they tried selling me the wrong ones. They also tried charging £8 for an inner tube.

    Never tried fudges though. Might have to have a look as there is one close to where I stay.
