CMG PRO FENDER INTRO:
We have just become the Australian distributor for CMG Mountain Bike products.
CMG stands for "Customudguard" an Indonesian mountain bike components company specialising in MTB fenders along with a bunch of other products that we will be stocking soon.

Brisbane Components Company: Huck to Flat

WTR: Starting a components company seems like a tall order for most, What is your background and what inspired the HTF brand?
