Who's copying who?
« on: November 09, 2023, 09:31:09 PM »
I was just perusing tonight and saw a copy of my DMR Defy35 stem. It's not a super well known or popular stem. It got me wondering...is this just the company that manufactures their stems, just selling a Rebranded version direct from the factory? It seems silly that that they would take the time to replicate a stem that's not even popular like Industry Nine or Race Face.

Then I found these Deity T-Mac clones that are everywhere. These make more sense to replica since they're a hugely popular brand. But real T-macs origins aren't disclosed on their site...they could very easily be made in China. And these could also just be Rebranded pedals, right?
