#1 Beware fake bike parts!06-25-2010, 08:31 AM
There is an increasing problem with fake bike parts in China. Commonly faked parts seem to be; stems, bars, posts, saddles, frames and more recently tires.
Be vigilant and make sure everything is as it is supposed to be, check for things being supplied in the box, and and that any writing in English is correct. Some things are 'upfront' fakes, where they are just generic cheap gloves with 'fox' on them for example, many times these function perfectly well, and as they are cheap is not an issue. However other parts are better described as being counterfeit, and appear fine in the shop but show themselves to be fake after some use.
Often American brands such as Specialized and WTB are often copied, but Ta*wanese brands such as Wellgo, ABR, Merida and Giant are much less effected.Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.
