I knew NJ5 made clips/straps (Bell's has them) but this is the first I've seen of the crankset.

NJS or NJ5?

Is NJ5 a trademark made to look like NJS?

NJ5. Yes, it's made to ape the NJS logo.

They've been out for at least a year, but know it is known wha they are!

And I don't really like the nj5 logo in my opinion either.
