monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 It wouldn't surprise me if the stamp is basically unrelated to the brand of fork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah, quite often companies like Shadow Conspiracy have components made by manufacturers in the far east and it may be a manufacturers stamp completely unrelated to the brand. Doesn't necessarily mean they aren't Shadow forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Most bmx components are not made by the actual brand that market it and rarely have there brand stamped on it anywhere.... You probably have not been ripped off if the seller has good feedback and seems genuine, however unless you put those forks up against a real set you'll never know, your only other options is see what exact specs are on shadow conspiracy website, weight? Fork leg length? see if it matches....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Good way to tell can be the dropouts although they sometimes vary depending on the model and year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
