Maybe! I've ordered some. They're on the way! My reading of the situation is that they're not knock offs. They're the real Lekki8. https://www.roadbikereview.com/threads/ciamillo-lekki-8-brakes-review.381565/ Ted's cashflow has collapsed and he can't buy from his supplier any more. So they're ditching their stock. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003081042664.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d054c4dSgZxPP
Another possible scenario is that these are the dodgy ones. There have been some snappings of the carbon arms. Maybe this is the disgruntled former supplier and Ted has hooked up with someone better, and the new improved Lekki8 will soon be flying off the shelves. Anyone who has dealt with Ted would say that the likelihood of this is about one in eleventy thousand.
