Landing Gear Lites

[Brownie]

Just got hold of a pair I've had on order from the States for yonks. How can I tell if they are genuine? They look the part and the welds are all good quality stuff. The Inspector is going to work at the mo but I'll post a pic when he's through. Cheers, JB

[Brownie]

Here we go. Any advice very welcome 

[Bananaman]

I have some on my Ripper mate if you need anyone to do a measure up

Thay look fine to me but am no expert on LG's unfortunately

[SteveG]

I have notice on my standing gear ones that there is a continuious weld on the outside and three short welds on the inside of the dropouts. I don't know if this was a thing they did across the range but it might show they are genuine.

here's a couple of pics of my lg lites for comparison.............




hope they help................

[Brownie]

Cheers Geordie. The word Spinner is stamped just below the thread and there is also a bird motif! Someone please help!!!
 cheers, JB

[Brownie]

Anyone help? Looking to sell these on but don't wanna flog fakes. 

[Waxintaxin]

take a pic of the thickness of the drop out

bird ? and spinner do not seem right for LG , and the drops look too thick , but camera angles and all that

[Brownie]

I know. It defo says Spinner under a bird motif. Me being naive, I assumed this meant they were worth more!!!!

[Brownie]

Someone must know summit!!!!!!!!!!

the angle of the cut offs at the bottom are way higher than the white ones, nice lookin forks tho, they aint ammaco freestyle forks are they?

[Brownie]

Thanks guys. This one is a real puzzle. Spinner make mountain bike forks in the States. Big chunky suspension jobs but there is no mention of a BMX fork. I'll keep searching. Cheers, JB

[Brownie]

Right. I've compared them to pair of normal lgs and the dropouts are far bulkier even though the overall forks are smaller. Everything else looks pretty similar and the welding to my untrained eye looks fantastic. Really good work. I have sent the pics off to the Spinner MTB firm in the States to see if they can ID them. If anyone has any more advice then please let me know, especially anyone with knowledge of  these Ammaco Freestyle Forks. Sorry to bore everyone but this one has me stumped so far.
 Cheers guys. JB

Hi James,
Have a good day! My name is Larry from Spinner responsible for customer service and world warranty.
After recving your mail, we convened the teams of QC, Sales Dep. & RD in our company to ID these forks you attached. After discussing with all internally, we've CFMed the forks you attached are not produced by SPINNER. We have not manufactured rigid forks for long time, and aiming for producing suspension forks around 10 years recently.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know. I've been looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you so much.

now thats cool customer service, even tho you no further forward

[Brownie]

These are really nice forks you know. Just wish I bloody new what they were. Drop-outs definitely thicker than standard lgs. Welding the same as is the number of holes - I noticed another thread on here with just two holes on the dropouts of some lg lites. I am so confused!
