Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

I purhased again from Pro Team Cycling Wear. (I dont work for them or anything like that). Still waiting for some knock-off wapha stuff that has only just been dispatched.

Which seller did you order your rapha off of? I ordered mine, just wondering when I can expect it

"April International"

Been waiting 15 days now. Where did you order from?

ha! Same place

What did you go for?

black and pink proteam bib shorts and short sleeve jersey!! How about you?

Some odd white jersey with blue and maroon splurges. And some pro team bibs, black.
Hope everyone is enjoying our little conversation.

hahaa yeah...

anyway, I'll report back when (if) they arrive

Saw a guy out last week with a fake cross jersey. My god it was terrrible.

Just took a 10 mile ride in the white/black kit. Pad seems decent and it hasn't all fallen apart yet.

67 mile ride. Still holding up strong and comfy enough.

I'm looking for a 31.6mm lightweight-ish seatpost for carbon rails. Are there any about?

^Only 5,507 listed on AliExpress, £14 gets you 200g.....

Anyone had any experience with the knock off Tri Spokes on AliExpress or anywhere else???
Considering the plunge but for £250 +postage I don't know if it's worth just saving and getting a 2nd hand Hed 3?

At that price (which could be getting on for £350 to your door with tax), you shouldn't need to search too hard to find a Hed.

^He's right, at any price, they're nowhere near genuine Heds. I'm single-handedly trying to bolster the Chinese economy (wheels, bars, stems, seatpins, clothes) and the trispokes are the one thing I wouldn't buy.

apparently most of those Chinese tri/five spoke wheels aren't at all aerodynamic... just for skidder posers.

Hello guys, I've seen in this thread a lot of chinese sellers. Which one has proved to be the best in terms of quality/price ratio and reliability, which one would you suggest me to buy items from ?

CN*carbon

far sports
Yishun

Are there any other out there ?
P.S. I'm looking for a road wheelset and 29er wheelset (wide rims)

Cheers :)

CN Carbon are good in my experience. They will also 'custom' build- they built me a radial front track clincher but only advertise a crossing pattern.

Ive used Far Sport for 38mm tubs. All good in the hood.

This arrived today, pretty low quality, fit is a tad small but it folds down fairly tiny plus I think that it's fairly priced.

^Sold by "In God We Trust"? Sounds like it offers no genuine protection at all.

ZING.

hahaa! I'm yet to try it so can't comment

That's nice to hear :)

Their products looks pretty solid and well built but I can't see prices. Do I have to contact them in order to get more info, right ?

Yep, drop them a line saying what you want and they'll give you a price including shipping.

Thank you :)
Do you think that these sellers can supply a little bit larger quantity of their products (10-15 wheelsets) ?
