Asked the seller for more info (ratio etc) and they said they had no idea, also they didnt know if it was real.

Later on I get this message.

I have just taken this to my local performance bike shop & they say there is nothing to suggest this is a copy but, it is best you dont bid just in case thank you


Seems odd to me.

it's fake. i got one of them for my mito 350.
not neccesarily a bad thing, as its an exact copy, and all genuine seal kits fit.

Cheers. I assumed it was a faker as it came with the pipe and reservoir.

I think the seller knows its fake and is playing dumb.

Or that, regardless I wouldn't bid anyway due to his apparent lack of knowledge.

seller ignorance is good, as long as you're good enough to spot when someone is losing out from lack of knowledge.

It's fake, I've got one, it looks good, but the quality seems poor.

The lever seems to have far too much reach, and the shoddy fixings make it impossible to adjust.
