Works sweet. Looks exactly like the genuine one in pics.
Time will tell if it lives up to the non counterfeit versions durability. But not a huge amount to go wrong in the first place really.

Just received my OneUp chain/bash guard. Really impressed and only $30. Best I can tell its the real thing.

I wanted a big bash guard due to the cables running under the bottom bracket.

One of the local kids angled his saddle like that since he is wheeling most of the time
I am that local kid. Angling the saddle down for seated wheelies only really works well when the bike is fairly long for the rider. Shorter bikes. As all but one of my bikes are by modern standards I find angled nose up a lot better for control. I do also have an incredibly well broken in barse tho.
That wee bike is 420mm reach. So a nose down and seat up position is absolutely fucked. Knees at the bars and weight far too far forwards. Wouldn't even work well for a steep climbing gradient.

The Chinese top only one up copys definitely use a weaker alloy. Got a scar somewhere on my right inner lower leg to show for it. Shouldn't ever matter in most conditions. and If you don't ride in loose trousers/jeans.
