How do i spot FAKE BORA Ultra two

[Dhaafier]

So as the topic states how do i tell if these wheels are fake, im in the process of buying a set of Bora Ultra two black label edition but not sure if they original. The spokes have the G3 pattern. Any other way of telling, Sorry no pics.

Thank you Fanievb

This is what the real Campag hubs look like.

Problem with the rims are that the fakes are 50mm as are the real rims.

You can check for serial no on the rim but may be hard to find if it's covered in glue.

Gummibear thanks a lot dude. They definitely are fakes, the hubs clearly doesn't have the engraving marked on them.

Much appreciated.

Have not seen any fake G3 spoke pattern wheels. Pity that you don't have pics available. These are fake Boras

And here is a pic of the genuine wheel. Notice the different spoke pattern for the rear wheel. Coupled with gummis pics, you should be able to spot the fake from the real article

There was a guy selling fake ones on the Hub and I reported him to JJ Cycling. They sent me a mail with a few pointers. If i can find the mail, I will upload it.

Can the mods merge with this thread?

thanks

Hi guys, newby here! I need to buy a set of wheels and don't know if they are real or fake! Could you please help? Foto attached. Thanks a lot!!!

Those are fake. Boras are all carbon, those in the pic have an alu brake track.

Bad advice. There are a number of fakes with the G3 spoke pattern doing the rounds.

 

Be careful
