Fake Shimano chains

[WWC]

Bought a cheap 9 speed HG73 chain off the bay and it turned to be a fake.

Only a few quid.

Anyone used one?

Re:

Not bought one of those but I had a similar thing going on when buying a Sram.

The crafty bar stewards word the listing so, so carefully. The bottom line, I received a kmc, probably a fake kmc too, loose flappy rubbish
I did open a dispute and all that palaver but eBay couldn't touch them on technical grounds.

This one.

SRAM PC-951 9 Speed Mountain Bike Chain 114 Links Nickel Plated 1/2" x 11/128
( 142145219917 )

For all the steel in Sheffield you would bet on a Sram arriving.....

I don't buy owt but Sram but I like to think world trade is a good thing but those guys just kill the faith with their cheap shitty offerings.

Re:

Just looked at your listing, surely that had to a Sram delivered!

Mine was only £3 so I can barely be bothered to raise a case...

That listing has dodgy written all over it, even the pictures tell a story.

Here’s my fake listing:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 2423942633

Just thought cheap chain, didn’t read the ad!

Now looks clearly dodge!

Probably won’t do the job particularly well...
