Fake Tuf Neck Stems...

Is there such a thing...

[MartyC]

Yes.  Canada or North America produced a lot of them a couple of years ago.  There is a thread on here about them, they are very good and close to og but the bolts are the giveaway as is the etching of the logo/brand name on the top cap.

Thanks Marty...

I was going to buy one off the Museum, but the seller pulled the plug, (fair play to him) , as he got a PM about it 'not being right'...

I have spoke with him , and he feels he was stroked, as he bought off a reputable shop...

It's like this one...



It has the 'Triangle' of death on the bolt...

Saw one like this on ebay this week but in light of all the fakes and my limited knowledge I gave it a wide birth

What is it exactly what's different I have a few patent pending ones and mine look shallower impressed and maybe not just as neat on sort of slightly skewiff if anything thanks in advance knowledge is power 😄

I'm unsure on the Tuf Neck Stems...

Here's the thread on Pro Neck Stems...

Dwain's one looks real - reference the distance between the 4 bolts and the edge of stem having 'less' metal, but the main bolt has the 'Triangle' of death on it ...

I spotted a couple of suspicious ones at MK on verts table. Had a good chat with Joff about them too.

I reported the ones on eBay as counterfeit - reckon it made fook all difference though, if it means coffers for eBay they don't give a shit

We sure did young Ash , I do believe we were even looking for a hint of rust or signs of age on the packaging staples

Did anyone question biaggio about them?? If be interested to know his excuse

Ash and myself didn't as he was busy at the time with other customers and tbh i had better things to do at MK than waste 20mins arguing over the legitimacy of his stems ...... and besides i ain't had much time for him since the goings on at previous MK's .... the Oakley grips , tip em out , pick what he wanted and go didn't rate too highly with me  .
