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

I'm sure they can, when I was in contact with farsports buying my 38mm tubs they enquired whether I was a member of a club or team, wanting to sell more units.

Email and ask, I dealt with Kyle, the communication was very responsive.

moody wapha ordered....

+1 for Farsport coms. My contact couldn't do enough for me. Constantly re-quoting me when I was tweeking my order. And answering all my questions promptly and concisely.

I'd defo use again.

Kyle has replied fastly indeed ;)

However, their price seems higher, infact I can find complete wheelsets for 420-440$ shipped, theirs are sold for 560$ + shipping (700c 38*23mm).
I know that components may be different (sapim spokes instead of cnspoke/pillars or Novatec hubs instead of Bitex/ED/Powerway) but all these chinese products, IMO, are all equal or so and their costs are ridiculous!

all these chinese products, IMO, are all equal

and until that opinion changes, you will find their prices ridiculous

All German products are equal, so it's pointless buying an S-Class because a VW Golf carries the same number of people for ¼ of the price.

I was talking about chinese carbon wheels and rims of course :)
BTW, I am very keen to try one of these chinese carbon wheelsets.

I think I'll buy one from this shop on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Only-1095g-ultra-light-24mm-tubular-carbon-racing-wheels/510015274.html

or

320€ shipped...feedback about products and shop are ok too ;)

Is there's a shop that sell the same frame Dolan sell last year? (the Seta).

First time mounting tyres on carbon rims. Got talc, gonna try and mount without leavers, if levers are needed will tape two together to spread contact point. Anything else to think about/precautions to take?

Not too worried but would hate to toss anything up.

If they leave, they're not ready to be mounted. That's in tupping 1.01.

Have a read of this if you need any further guidance:

So you're saying use velcro gloves too?

You kids with your space-age technology. It was Wellington boots and a belt when I were a lad.

crabon fiber forks arrived, pretty badly packed but don't appear to have suffered because of it, and only took, a couple of weeks to get here. finish isn't perfect but nothing you can notice now they're on the bike. still waiting on the wapha though...

Looks like April International might need putting on the avoid list. Been waiting nearly 6 weeks for my fake Rapha. They supplied tracking numbers which don't match anything.

I ordered off a different supplier but was told the delay is due to them having to make it. Tracking number for the forks I ordered didn't work for about a week.

My friend
Thank you for making order.
I am very sorry to tell you that because the cycling clothes are hot sale now, the factory is very busy. So maybe there are some items will be made slowly, it will cost about 15-20 days to make it, about 30-40 days later you will receive it.(15-20 days for making, 15-20 days for shipping)
But please don’t worry about that, we will ship it ASAP . if you are urgent, then please let me know, and I will give you priority of shipping as possible.
Can you accept?
I wish you will be satisfied with our product after you receive it.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Have a nice day .
Thanks.

from their aliexpress page.

Actually got a hit on the tracking number today. Hopefully it is imminent.

wapha here we come

Anyone gone the whole hog & bought a frameset from aliexpress?

Specifically, thinking of a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 replica - because I will quite frankly never be able to afford a real one, but have always loved the wavy fork/stays thing

I saw one that Brixton Cycles had in to work on- the positioning of the rear mech guides was such that the rear mech cable sawed through the chainstay unless you ran inner/liner the whole length of the cable.

However, they may have sorted that out now.

I think a lot depends on the particular seller, have heard good things about Deng Fu as well as Greatkeen (hadn't heard of these previously?)

Just wanted to know if anyone on here had personal experience ordering a Dodgma

A replica of the heaviest frame by far in the pro peloton.

Do you like snappy fork steerers made of carbon formed around newspaper?

Fuuuuuuuck.

That is very very naughty.

turns and stares at farsport wheels...

Bargain!

Totally the Conti's fault though...
