Title: CHEAP LOCKING LEVERS......
Post by: deeman on January 07, 2018, 03:46 AM: There was a time when I typed 'old school bmx' into my ebay search sometimes twice daily....these days I have no real need so rarely bother! BUT... I found myself idly browsing tonight and.amongst all the bollocks ( nos A'me rounds for £150) I did find these copy Tech V lockers for what I think is a bargain price....may be of use to someone.....

Oh yea, this was worth a mention.... ::)

I would agree with Damo that these are DC's. The clamps of the ACS-locking levers I've seen so far are more Tech7 like. I might be wrong though, as there's so many info for me still to be veryfied.
Are you going for these levers?

Post by: radovr on January 07, 2018, 06:18 AM: Yep bought a pair . Looks like he has 5 pairs left for sale . Have a few sets of acs . While the clamp is different ro mine the levers look like acs . Saying that , I have seen acs levers identical to those . But hey who knows , will wait for them to arrive :daumenhoch:
