Title: Cheng Shin
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on February 23, 2014, 10:51 AM
Can anybody please confirm which are the 'old' side wall stamping, and which is the 'repop'.

Are Biaggio's really 'old' ones or are they the 're-issues'?

I think the re-pops' are as well Paul. I know the skin is a lighter colour on the re-issues but I have heard of 'darkening' to sell them as genuine items.

Is the sidewall 'Cheng Shin' different on the re-issues?

Mine are really dark compared to some generic rider tyres I have.

How can something that someone has never stopped making be considered a repop?  I don't get that at all...
