The thread that saves people money and waiting time
Parts availability is the most consistent complaint about this brand worldwide. A verified list of part numbers — and of equivalents from suppliers with wider distribution — directly addresses it.
But this only works if what is in it is correct.
The rules
1. Only post what you have actually fitted and used. Not what a catalogue suggested, not what looked similar.
2. State the original part number where you know it, and where you got it from.
3. State how long it has been fitted and whether there were any issues.
4. If you are unsure, say so. An honest "I think this fits but I have not confirmed it" is useful. A confident guess is not.

- Chain and sprocket sets
Where to be much more careful
Brake pads. Voge fits Nissin brakes, but the same caliper brand does not mean the same pad. Confirm against your model, and if a pad fits but you are unsure of the compound, say which compound you used.
Anything load-bearing. Bearings, fasteners, suspension components. A wrong recommendation here is not a wasted afternoon.
Anything affecting warranty. Non-original parts may be raised in a warranty discussion. Keep receipts showing the specification you used.
