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

Small as in small castelli?

Small Rapha.

I can measure, but I think its <34" chest.

Prob too small. Shame.

I've got an XL gilet I'm struggling to fit into... (edit: I'm L in castelli, M in Craft, M in Lusso, between M and XXL in chinese jerseys, it seems).

Dibs please, will pm

does the gilet have rear pockets?

Nope, don't think so anyway. it's the same one as in the aliexpress link a little further up.

i thought so

I ordered the gilet in XL. Based on your size you mentioned a while back and how it fits you I think i should be safe.... think! haha

has anyone seen the rotor copies on aliexpress with n/w chainring? worth trying or deathtrap?

You can pick up 2nd hand rotors for that price, so don't see the point

but with bottom bracket + 1x chainring?

Yup - I picked mine up on here for £120

For reasons that are too boring to get into I was given $300 non-transferrable on Amazon.com (US store only) and I thought I'd try to source some crabon rims because I have a nice light BMC and I'd like to make it about 1k heavier because I do laps of Regents Park and it's important that the RPR guys know that I think I know what I'm doing. I know ICAN buy prebuilt wheels (lol) for $300 but no way.

I don't know why but these seem like the "best" choice https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Clincher-Tubular-Bicycle-Single/dp/B01M31GU6B/ref=sr_1_3_m?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1479804393&sr=1-3 but wondering if you thought it would be a fun challenge to try and find something worth building up. I did actually find some YOLEO rims but I don't want to spend much more than $300. What a fun challenge!

It's either this or an xbox 1 i guess.

wow. interesting

these keywords will lead you to the right product; atleast they do on aliexpress: basalt, u shaped, clincher

If its not any of those three things, get an xbox one.

Tbh a modern wide rim is a massive gamble in your BMC.

Get a powermeter?

What do I need a powermeter for, I don't ever push less than 3 watts/kg you know this.

But yeah I was trying to find 19mm internal rims which I doubt they do. I reckon my 2011 BMC won't take u shaped jobbies :(

Gears of War it is I guess. I'm honestly stumped, I don't really know what to buy with it, amazon.com y u no rapha

Whisky/Bourbon?

Holy shit amazing idea cheers @branwen

Anyone got a link to some forum approved disc brake rims?

Seem to have a slightly different fabric mix to most of the other Chinese Aliexpress shops. Have bought one (based on Rapha Pro Team) and will report back.
