I don't think they are genuine... don't look quite right.

really hard to tell, i know that my white ones have the semi auto adjuster on them but that just means
there later ones. I have some Formos blue ones that look identical to those white ones but have a
formos sticker on instead of a Dia Compe one.

It'll be hit or miss on them, if the copies then just put a Dia Compe sticker on them from CBRGIL
and don't tell anyone  ;D ;D

The "MX" Logo is at the wrong angle compared to real Dia Compes. Some of the copies the MX is turned clockwise slightly.


So, when caliper is strung with cable and on bike, on a real Dia Compe (and some good copies) the MX seems vertical, but on cheapo copies the MX Leans towards the right,say 1.30pm lol , you get what i mean.

No copies
no weimann adjuster
chrome nuts and bolts
and the shape of the quick release

Would be on Brandy's side because of the wrong angled MX stamp.
But copies don't come to often with riveted QR mechanism.

When will you get them Jon? We need to know !

I would agree with the points stated above.

I looked at the mx and it seems one is more twisted than the other, and the shape of the quick release seems wrong.

Also I think I can see a thin black washer with text on it, like you see on the copies, behind the front nuts. It should have a nice wide washer at the back ?
