It is late and I should stop - this is the sale gear thread after all, not the fake gear thread.
You may be onto something here, Brimmo. Is there a knockoff/bootleg/fake gear containment thread yet? Where PALS can post about counterfeit shit they’ve either purchased, or come across? Maybe serve to warn others away from potentially questionable vendors?
Is this a thing already, and I didn’t find it with the search function?
If not, SHOULDn’t this be a thread?
I think rocklobster would probably be the best man for the job, create and have mod access to start a FAKE GEAR THREAD maybe?
I would get one going right now, but thought I have only been here for a minute, so someone with more experience and info could start one and keep things updated, in a similar way to the woodshop threads.
Just a thought anyway.
Sounds like a plan
@Mbrimson88, I'm horrible with IG content and feel much better with longer, typed out content. There's just so much fake stuff going around, it's starting in Asia Pacific but I think it's a matter of time before it spreads to North America and Europe. If counterfeiters can get a pair of Indys for $10 and sell them for $45 you can bet they will, even more so with Spitfire wheels that are higher in price, lower in weight and freight costs.
Last time I discussed fake products it was a mood killer for the other readers so a dedicated thread would be the right place for people with an unhealthy counterfeit product obsession like myself.
