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

Thanks!

I don't think there are specific instructions - it is a slight pain to have to remove the seatpost when you want to adjust the saddle angle.

Iirc it was swedee who made a good post about fitting it? Basically you have to put it back and fourth multiple times and torque differend parts in right order.

Still waiting on my radars from http://s.aliexpress.com/ERnmmqm6

Ordered on 15th September, but no tracking update since it left the mainland on the 25th....

its very easy if you watch the vid 1 page back

Its pretty common sense how you fit it. You can do the angle by eye without putting the post in if you just hold it beside your seat tube. Tighten the angle, stick it in, tighten the post, done.

SMP copy arrived today, colour me very impressed. Construction is tidy, shell and rails look spot on, padding is minimal and the Romin Evo-esque covering is actually rather good. Pretty light, too.

Stop posting what I'm going to post about SMP's before I do.

buy a pre cursa?

Ah I didn't realise they were that cheap, cheers for the heads up!

Hi all, I'm looking for some rims similar to a carbon tb14 ~14mm - do such things exist? Clinchers? Shallowest I've found are 24mm...
Cheers,
Matt

With nice braking surface?

yup - for rim brakes...
Cheers,
Matt

No chance in a clincher. It's hard enough to make a carbon clincher, let alone a really shallow one

fair enough, anyone know where to find really shallow carbon tub rims?

Cheers,

Melonese Farmer bib and jersey arrived after only 18 days, £23. Am impress

Pics?

Ordered pair of Jeuxbrekkers which arrived yesterday. Quality is ok compared to a genuine pair, nose piece is a bit misaligned and the lens change system is a bit wank, but quite ok for €16. Will only be used with clear lenses for dark rides so good enough.
