Sauber Motorsport Aerodynamic chief, Willem Toet, has recently installed Barton blocks in his home gym to aid recovery from his downhill mountain bike crash. Willem (60 ish!) found what he was looking for after an exhaustive research visit to his local chandlers.

"I tried a cheap pulley (not one of yours - from a local shop) but it was noisy not smooth acting - clearly not the sort of quality someone in F1 would willingly accept. So I looked for the best and knew exactly what I wanted. It took me a few hours to install (3 coats of paint was the main delay to bring the wall back to white) but you can see that I've now added to my upper body training / recovery equipment. Thanks very much for the fast service and the fantastic pulleys! They really are silent and smooth!"
