    I have worked in e-Commerce for nearly 20 years and my current job is a Marketplace Content Specialist. All of the weird long titles on Amazon are meant to maximize keyword searches. The more keywords that are in the title, the more likely your product will be displayed higher up in a search. I agree that the titles don’t roll off the tongue but in the cut-throat world of Amazon they can seriously improve your sales.

    I've gotten several of the Granite products in the past, and have always been happy with them. Our local trails have a lot of 2 way traffic with limited sight turns, and their bell (which can be used with a thumb control or set to ring constantly) works great.

    I don't understand the attraction of the Rehook type products. All they do is keep your hands clean when remounting a chain but a couple of disposable latex or vinyl gloves do the same job better for a fraction of the price, take up way less space and can be used for more than one task.

    • @edymarin7781
