This thread forced me to create an account LOL. I can't believe no one mentioned a more generic name to call this type of 'modern' rubber other than "A non-linear rubber with great catapult." It was driving me nuts!
I thought people just call it "TENSIONED rubber!"
Anyhow, it was an interesting read, especially the history that Jimbob provided. I think I read a little bit about that before, possibly in another post of Jimbob's. The argumentative posts from both sides about trademarked names for the different technologies and what they should or shouldn't be called have too much unnecessary drama. I don't think it's that big of a deal that the OP said "tensor" and I understand what he meant, but wouldn't it just be easier to say "tensioned rubber," to avoid any confusion or semantics? I know I've heard other people use this term before. I think it is the ideal generic term everyone is looking for.
Welcome to the forum.
there is nothing wrong with people who doesn't know equipment that well (and that is a lot of people out there) to call it what ever they want.
The problem is OP's rudeness.
And I'm surprised other than me, no one else thinks a 20USD Mantra is dodgy.
