Dhaafier Posted September 25, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted September 25, 2013 Share 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. http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2014-Campagnolo-Bora-Ultra-35-carbon-tubular-road-bike-wheels03.jpg http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2014-Campagnolo-Bora-Ultra-35-carbon-tubular-road-bike-wheels06.jpg http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Campagnolo-Bora-Ultra-Two-Cult-Wheelset-with-tires-and-skewers-50cm-TUBULAR-/00/s/ODk5WDE2MDA=/z/5EcAAOxyHltSQdgU/$T2eC16J,!w4FI,KdNWZuBSQdgTSMkQ~~60_12.JPG These are fakes.

Gummibear thanks a lot dude. They definitely are fakes, the hubs clearly doesn't have the engraving marked on them. Much appreciated. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOK695 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Have not seen any fake G3 spoke pattern wheels. Pity that you don't have pics available. These are fake Boras Edited September 26, 2013 by LOOK695 Rich990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOK695 Posted September 26, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbarn Killer Posted September 26, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
