dia compe mx 1000 caliper authentication ?
« on: June 22, 2010, 04:41 PM »
i've got a set of dia compe ? brakes for sale on e-bay & someone has contacted me saying they are'nt original as they aren't dated on rear.
Is that the case, as i'm not really clued up on old school stuff.
Brake is listed along with other stuff under calumm2006 if you want a look.
cheers

the lever definately isnt DC, its a tec3 copy.  As far as I know the calipers should say mx1000 and a date, not A1000.  Dont look real to me unfortunately
Not really that bothered came on a bike, just clearing out, don't want a row with e-bay though.
think i'll just say not sure check pics, as i'm showing rear so not trying to hide anything.
what ya think ?

The 'MX' on a genuine DC is cast into the metal and is not a graphic so you can't polish it off   :LolLolLolLol:

The very early one's didn't have the stamp under the decal , so when id' ing these you can only go by the pin point cast quality and the stamping on the rear of the arms. :coolsmiley:
