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

"too tight", thats about 3 sizes bigger than race fit, don't get anything from Morvelo FFS

My Ornot skinsuit suddenly seems very expensive...

Looks good

I know this has been asked many times before, but who's a decent eBay/online seller for Chinese carbon wheels?

I'm quite happy with my cn*carbon track wheel clinchers. Will probably end up buying tubs from them at some stage

How long have you had them? What kind of usage have they seen? Considering a pair for my SS build next year.

I had my Racmmer stuff arrive the bib shorts are good quaility and so its the jersey I got. Although I need to be the same dimensions as a T-Rex for it to fit. I got a large and it fits in length but is to short in the arms and the cut almost feels like the sleeves are twisted and the collar is the same length as my neck! Good thick material though.

Ill get some pics tonight but if anyone wants it for £15 quid its thiers.

i got cn*carbon disc road wheels and they seem quite sturdy and well built

not the lightest but cheap

Got them kinda mid season this year, raced and trained on them pretty much exclusively (and cycled the 2km over to the track on them with shitty roads). Very happy with them, seem well built and they did my custom drilling no problem. Pity they werent able to do fixed/ fixed, but oh well.

Which ones did you go for? I've been considering the £320 50mm deep 25mm wide novatec disc wheelset from them for a while. Did you buy through ebay?

Thanks. I'm looking for some idea of rims which can stand up to braking.

Not going to use them on lots of long descents and I'm realistic about how they'll cope in the wet, but I do like to stop.

Anybody?

Is anybody still waiting for their 11/11 orders? My stuff has been stuck in Chinese customs for almost 2 weeks now.

I had to chase up my carbon this week from farsport wheels and they finally gave me my tracking number and it says it's in custome 'awaiting for payment' fuckers!!

Oh the bring side I can finally get the look built! XD

i have the 23mm wide ones. They were a bit heavier (like 80g per set) than stated

I've just ordered a set of 50 x 25 mm carbon disc clinchers from cn*carbon on ebay. Sent them a couple of messages beforehand, they're doing 28h for the same price, and no brake track. Hopefully they won't explode the first time I use them.

I'm considering some 27x55 wheels from Winow-bike.com. Anybody have Any experience with them?

I had those rims on a track wheelset from cn*

they were really solid. I dont have a track/fixie anymore so sold them but rode for a few k without issues

next summer Im gonna get tubeless rdy 45mm rims from lightbicycle as they have slightly wider inner diameter on their 25mm's compared to cn (a lot pricier though)

Ah that's good to know! This'll be my first foray into the world of carbon wheels, always put off previously by the idea of crap braking and overheating the rims, but now I'm on disc the only thing worrying me was them exploding... Looking forward to getting them though, although I have no illusions about them actually making me faster.

Did you get stung for import duty as well, by the way?

Anyone have a source for 650c rim-brake clincher rims from a decent manufacturer? Girlfriend is small and trying to put a wheelset together. They exist on Alibaba of course but didn’t see any from Light-Bicycles, Yishun, Dengfu.

I think Yishun has a shop on alibaba

Ah yup for sure, they just don’t seem to be one of the companies that makes 650c rims.

Yoeleo does 650c carbon rims. I got one for @Cycliste's TT bike.

Much appreciated, thanks.

yeh but im based in finland so dont take that as certain
