Title: Old - Re-release Dia Comp Tech 3 Levers
Post by: skki3330 on June 13, 2014, 09:23 PM
Guys what are the differences between the old and new re-release tech 3 levers? I need a set of gold ones to finish my build and no nos ones are coming up so was thinking of the new ones to fill the gap for now.

Thanks in advance

The OG ones are date stamped near the hole where the cable barrel inserts.

The repo's have a weird nut on.

The levers look cheap and nasty bro, trust me.

Best bet is to find a mint silver set and get them re-anodised. If you send so.ething in original gold, they will near as damn it colour match it for you  :daumenhoch:

Also the MX logo is not as crisp on repop, more of a smudged look.  :-\  :daumenhoch:

Yes - it looks as though the MX logo has been stamped into the new ones, and as such has left what looks like crushing around the area. The MX logo on the new ones is nowhere near as crisp as the originals.

I bought a complete set, they are nasty nasty, couldn't wait to get rid, look weak as well, even took a loss just to get rid of them, the only copies I like which even have a built in tag on the back of the clasp to stop the nut from turning when tightening are FORMOS, I fitted a set on my son's 16" mafia BMX, nice quality
