Post by: snav69 on January 08, 2009, 01:18 PM

I have had these pads for ages and had/have no idea what they are for  :D I knew i had seen the lightning bolt somewhere before but couldn't remember where  :crazy2: so while i was doing a bit of moochin on ebay for shimano dx  ::)  i come across where i had seen it before

If you look at the lightning bolt and the fonts they look the same to me  :-\ What do you reckon  ???
I don't know much about encinas but there is a nice replica of his mongoose over on bmx museum  ;)

The shimano DX pads had shimano DX written on, not just BMX.
Those looks like generic copies to me.

I had a funny feeling they may be copies  ;) as i remember seeing the shimano ones a few years back on ginni's with shimano on them . i think they were blue  :-\
I suppose they would be ok if someone was making a cheap encinas copy  :-X
