There are some, but given that HJC makes both, the HJC is higher priced, the HJC is more widely sold and awarded, and that the only negative in a VS between the Joe Rocket is coming from a single guy named LEX_RAVEN, I think I made the right choice.

BTW, if you search for yourself, you'll find the exact same thing LEX_RAVEN spouted in a dozen different forums, being cut and pasted to other forums by other people. That doesn't make it gospel.

LEX post on Feb 2008:

Gawarrior cutting and pasting the same thing LEX posted a month later:

Here's a bazillion other posts where the same exact info is regurgitated:

"They both use the same 4X4 carbon fiber" - Google Search


Seriously, there's several dozen posts with the same text cut and paste. Find me another source that says something negative
