How do i spot FAKE BORA Ultra two

[GLuvsMtb]

If I sold someone a fake on the hub, I would refund them.

Really?! So how do you verify 6 months down the line whether the items returned were the ones sold? What is the fair price of wear and tear on the said items?

and I can see that you should rather be posting in the comments section on news24 than here. Let me break it down for you. 

1. There is a real chance that a purchaser out there buys a good second hand item to substitute it with a fake and then try to recover damages from the seller. Worst case scenario, a handbag slinging contest and much popcorn later he ef's off, best case scenario, the seller takes the goods back or offer to reimburse a part of the sales price.

2. The purchaser buys the goods because he has a trashed set at home, and then either try to recover some of the damages through shipping insurance or from the purchaser. 

Your self-proclaimed integrity means very little if you can't back it up when someone asks a real question on whether or not you have thought your response through. 

Stick around kiddo, you may learn a thing or 2, and not just about cycling.

There is a measured risk buying on the hub or any other on line platform, a chance you could be conned. This is something with many Internet transactions, risk versus reward. We weigh up the risk versus reward alternatives based on our experiences and research, make a choice to buy or not to buy. I think there is a higher risk with higher value transactions, also the fakes and con artists are getting better. So far my experiences on the hub have been very positive.

 

Ultimately the reputation of the seller does provide the purchaser with some comfort. This is the foundation of the on line platforms like ebay and aliexpress, and the like. You can see how long the person has been a member and the feedback from other members. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, not an exact science, but pretty good.

Can't go wrong. Only difference to Bora Ultra is the carbon hubs with CULT bearings. Good price imo. Edited May 12, 2017 by Cippo

Thanks Cippo but I was referring to their authenticity...

 

They look so amazing, but these days it's increasingly hard to tell

If you cant tell the difference then go for the fakelys from a proper fakely distributor, that way you know their status.

Or just buy the real deal from an authorized retailer.

Hello!

 

Could anybody give an opinion if those Campagnolo Ultra Bora Two are Original or fake? 

are original?

The centre spoke in the G3 pattern looks skew?

Optical illusion as the center spoke goes to the oposit side of the hub as the two outer spokes.

 

I'll second Morph and say originals.
