SM Mushrooms ?
Frosty:
I have just bought some blue ones from Rudewheels and whilst I noticed that they did not say sm on them for £4.99 a pop tis still cheap. If they are soft then they'll do for the rider I bought them for!!
The red sm ones I have are embossed
theRuler:
the fuan ones are spirals
generic shiznit
worth 1 quid tops
SteveG:
I am waiting for a reply from the seller at the moment. I'm almost certain that SM Mushrooms are copies of the original ODI grips that came out in 83. I am stupid for not looking at the grips properly in the advert and was misled by the fact they are in a box that appears to be an SM one.
I will let everyone know what happens with this as its not on, buying copy grips is one thing but to pass them off for something they aren't isn't.
Moose:
TBH Steve, I was half expecting something like this to happen. When I first saw the auction I had to have a second look to make sure they weren't SM mushrooms and I did think it odd that the SM box was included in a picture with some cheap copy grips.
Having said that, the auction clearly states they are copies and therefore not being passed of as anything but that.
If I remember rightly SM mushrooms weren't really copies of Mushrooms as the were manufactured by ODI (or made under license - I can't remember which one) for SM :-\
By the way - I'm in no way connected to Rudewheels or any other seller (besides myself of course) :daumenhoch:
SteveG:
Ok, cheers for explaining the ODI, SM connection. The advert description I bought them from isn't completely black and white, it can read Copy ODI, SM Mushrooms. It's the box that leads you to think that the items are SM's.
It is either a badly written advert or one that has been carefully thought out to catch out gullable fools like me.
If he send a reply explaining why he boxes fake grips in misleading packaging I will probably leave it there although he ought to change the advert he uses.
