Can anyone tell me what the quality is like on the new repro DC's compared to the origonals from BITD?

Just one word springs to mind buddy 'sh!te', compared to the old versions. But, for a cheap budget rider, they do do the job. I prefer the re-issue DC Nippons though

Hmm, might have to reconsider my options then.

Just bought some origonal DC 880 and 890 calipers from some guy in the states on BMXmuseum.

Need a bit of resto but they have potential.

Only $40 delivered too, hope i don't get stung for too much import tax.

The repop's aren't great.

Difference's : Weird new adjuster. MX painted bit not recessed. Dia Compe decal is different. Calipers a bit flimsy.

Good news, £20 not £100.

Can anyone give me any tips on buying from the BMXmuso? No one seems to respond, is that because I'm new on that site?

Most of the members american? Delivery issues?

Think i'll be glad i got some genuine origonal DC's then by the sound of it.

I was a new member on BMXmuseum with no posts and had heard people say they mostly don't ship outside the US.

I just happened to see the calipers and sent the guy a PM, he responded with a price and i sent him the money by PayPal.

Result.
