The Edge system???

Thanks so much for the compliments!! It would be really cool if they made the chemical the same color too but I was only talking about the label (ahahaha) but its a really cool idea and I think I will bring it up with them.

Darn, that means that only the 1500 and SR polishes are color-matched to the pad. I just thought I'd ask, it'd be cool if both the labels AND polishes were all color-matched to the pads.
Anyway, you're welcome for the compliments. Like I said, it's a great system, it's a shame it hasn't caught on faster, I think a lot of the members here on DC would really like the Presta line.
 
We actually can't beleive that it has been 6 years on the market and still 90%of people either have never heard of the system or have never tried it. It seems that either the cost of the adatper or just fear of anything new has kept this amazing innovative product from really taking over. That being said we have made some inroads and Presta has been doing a great job demoing the product. We have found that after a demo we sell 90% of every shop visited. That is also a problem, if the product is not demoed no one really understands how easy and how effective the system is. Truthfully, if this system had been out before Velcro, no one would ever say " I would rather use velcro" because you would have no centering, exposed plates, and backing plates that wear out. Interesting fact though, it took about 10 years for people to switch from using the bolt and rubber backing plate that comes with most buffers to using Velcro. So we know we are in for the long road.

Wow, I didn't realize you guys had been around for so long! I found out about the Presta kit 2 weeks before I bought it, they told me that Presta was a brand new company, but a sub-co of a larger company (can't remember their name). Still, it seems like word is being passed around and you guys keep getting bigger. I think almost all the shops that P&S delivers to are using the Presta kit, we use it at my work every day (We go through 1500 like mad).
Have you guys made an online tutorial?
 
This thread has sold me on the edge pads!

I'm ordering a complete system tonight. This will be just for my 3 personal rides...nothing is really old or in bad shape...is there any reason I really need the most aggressive pad?
