Loseing a foot peg at the wrong moment is bothersome at best, I had a foot peg come loose on my TZ many years ago at Sears while leading, it was impossible to continue.
The problem I have seen with Chinese stuff is dependent on who is making it, some stuff is good, if it's being made to someone else's specs, other stuff is pure crap. The fasteners are sub standard, a chinese grade 8 is the equivalent to an American/Canadian grade 5.
A Chinese grade 5 is basicly picnic bench hardware. In the end we all get what we pay for, as for me, if I'm gilding the lily I'm going to use real gold.
