These are $60 more but look the same. Probably a better buy because the price includes music. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ ... 484ejBrxtu
I'd love to know why they've priced them so high. It's very, very ambitious for a Chinese copy. Maybe they are worth it, and they work. Or maybe they are building demand with an attention-grabbing price, hoping to get lots of orders when they halve the price next month? I might even have to buy some to find out. It's not as if brakes are really necessary - you can always put your feet down.
I think that the price will fall as soon as they became more widespread. i would wait at least an month.
my theory about what happend here is that it may be a contractual issue between lekki (ciamillo) and oem - they did not meet yearly moq and now the oem is free to sell on its own.

Is it the same as the real one? https://www.roadbikereview.com/threads/ ... ew.381565/
I suspect so, but you never know.. I Had one pair of genuine ones wich i have sold and one more genuine aluminium Version wich i sold too. I will definitely try to get my hands on one pair as soon as the price settles

600 USD for a set of two, i would easily go for EE brakes over these.
Bikes:
Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)
Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

I assume it was 300 USD. Sure 600 is overkill.

It says single item. Maybe they mean it's a single item as one set aka one pair?
I would ask before i placed an order...

The first link posted clearly states ‘1 pair’ when you scroll down to package contents. The second link is less clear and on top of that also requires a minimum purchase of 5 ‘boxes’.
Never hurts to ask, of course.

I don’t think they are. The photos on Ali aren’t great but the edges of the carbon looks different, as does the spring assembly. The bolts are also different (hex v star)eurostar wrote:Is it the same as the real one? https://www.roadbikereview.com/threads/ ... ew.381565/
Hoping I’m wrong ..

Anyone took the plunged and order a set? Wondering if these clone are good? The original Lekki8 has issues with parts breaking.
