Re: Mit einem umsehen
Hi selectedgrub
Sorry "Who knows?"
"Made in Germany" stands not for Quality, it stands for "proportion of value added" in Germany.
If I buy some Taiwanplastikspeedo for 5 € and put it in a nice aluminiumhousing (Made in China), a new sticker with new name on and sell it for 50 € to You, its "Made in Grmany", because it´s a significant alteration in Germany ;-)
If 30% of the parts are from german manufaktors it´s "Made in Germany" anyway.
And these delivering manufaktors can name it "Made in Germany" when they reach this 30% to.
Think about it ;-) and "Don´t worry!" most parts work.
Best regards.
Maruski

Yes, they are ok. These speedos are produced by MMB in East Germany, they were quite popular in the 90s but loosing more and more market shares to the company Motogadget from Berlin in recent years.selectedgrub hat geschrieben:Quality?

Re: Mit einem umsehen
Thanks for the replies and answers.
I had a nice VDO mini one it was too tall to fit in the hole unfortunately.
Here I started chisel the cup.

Re: Mit einem umsehen
Wow that would be the most expensive thing on my bike. 
I am opting for the old look but I do not like digital or LED's.
Modern technology won't work with this look.
The choice for Mini speedos 1:1 mechanical are limiting me.
Thanks for the link and nice word.
