This notes they were purchased in 2013:
I seem to remember they had a ‘build a group’ config page that went away some time around then…then they started shipping from the US, which probably took away the gray market price advantage.
Edit: deal that wasn’t a deal.
i bought so much stuff from PBK back in like the 2007-2010 era. sad. RIP PBK

Note this this is one of their weird low-power 1.5W hubs, not a normal 3.0W hub.
Blarg. Didn’t notice that.
Those work fine. I’ve had one on my Shawver for years.

Wiggle bought CR, then they were both bought by Signa Sports United in 2021. eta: SSU was bought by Yucaipa at the end of 2021.
I had a transaction go belly up with PBK about 5 years ago and the disorganization I encountered was mind boggling.

I loved the fact that PBK was a part of ‘the Hut group’, always made me think of jabba.

In a country that is famous for have both North and South Islands, I work in a city called Lower Hutt. North of Lower Hutt is a city called … Upper Hutt. They are both in the Hutt Valley. Just let’s just change everything to Maori and be done with it !

Yeah we have it in lots of places but it’s not really consistent. Think we have Aotearoa on our passports.

I lived in Auckland for a bit, and I still have to sing the Split Enz song to pronounce it right.
