Looks great-reality is it has a very rough finish by design-end result is that I took it off after a tiny ride out because it wears and mullers a boot in no time at all. Ah well.
Late emerging biker - took the first bike plunge at 50 with a 12GT : swapped for a 13S 9 months in... then got my mitts on a lovely 2014 13R Dynamic in rrrrrracing rrrrred! Then the COVID came along... so I upped it to France and bought a V85TT... O Sole Mio etc etc!

Surely a bit of rubber pipe slipped over it would have kept the i crease in size but taken the roughness off the boot!

Yep : agree - but this thing is meant to be seen. Also adding rubber would have made it even bigger - and that would have interfered too much with my plates of meat.

And when I say rough : the lever could zest a lemon and grate nutmeg. It really is rough!

I think a grinder would be needed Brian. If they'd manufactured it with a rounder/smoother pattern it would have been ok : but honestly- it really could double as a grater or tool to rough up any surface-shame- it does look good...

Been there fits here. Hate the damn thing , rubber pieces started to fall apart only after one month. Clear waste of money.

Maybe you could use it to put a nice serrated edge to your next home made steak and kidney pie .
