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

Thanks @hippy - Fouriers looks a bit meh - would you know the name of the Irish company?

Probably in the port, Parcel Force will pay it then send you the bill.

Can't recall their name but if you wanted pretty, it wasn't. It was just a folded bit of carbon plating that housed slight OS jockey wheels.

You can call up Parcelforce ahead of the invoice arriving to pay over the phone.

I had to go and pick the parcel up from somewhere towards Croydon as they couldnt drop the wheels off, nor did they leave a note. Think it was about 35 quid for mine.

Anyone got a link to a shop that sells Canyon VCLS clones? V.1 preferably.

Cheers Spotter!

Canyon themselves don't recommend using that split seatpost for anything other than Roadbike use.

What's the verdict of having a seat pack attached to that?

Maybe that's ill advised?

The two best ones for taking up gravel shocks is the FSA and the Speshy. Any clones of those two?

Really not seeing the logic of taking test data from the actual product and then buying a fake.

If you want compliance let 5psi out, will make loads more difference.

Was there a china version of the Planet X track bike?

Anybody got a link or a name/modelnumber?

was just thinking the same thing haha

Are there any bikes sold by Hong-Fu that are more sportivey geo and rim brakes? Or anyone who is similarly reputable.

ye true. Probably the most damping copy is the vcls copy.

2 days post china to uk, 3 days in Coventry awaiting customs inspection.
Grrrrr

any one knows where can I find POC Half Blades? Found just only one listing at aliexpress but not in the color I wanted :(

Any recommendations for crabon stem and bars? Would be after Matt black or ENVE copy

Are all the fake SMP's gone from aliexpress? Can't find one ; and I'm not ready to invest in a real one (yet).
EDIT : I'm looking for an unpadded one.

I searched for 'carbon saddle' last week at some point and some came up. Pretty heavy on the logo front unfortunately.

Found one! (Yup, pretty ugly, but I intend to sand it anyway)

Un-logo'd one for sale here

Thanks!
I'm starting to seriously question my searching skills. :-S

Thanks for this, might get one to see what it's like, and slash my ass open in two :D

Bought this from aliexpress. For £1.76 (including delivery) its really good!

Anyone tried one of these or similar?

Will probably give that a go and try to find a chain cleaner on Aliexpress while I'm at it
