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

I tried to order something during the sale but the code wasn’t working for me somehow. Plus I think waiting a month is good more my bank balance too 😏

Keen to get involved

My Hylix 1" fork just arrived at my bros adresse and he sent me these pics... should i be worried, complain to the seller or are the inconsistancies normal?? Not really happy about all the scratching particullary about that deep cut..

Looks fine to me

Ta, i fear all crabon things

I’m no expert.
But I’d ride it

looks fine

Ride it like you stole (paid no tax on) it ;)

fair! So you know when factoring in everything.. customs picked ours up, opened the box and raised the charge Vs what was written on the box - still only came to £66 total for x4 rims.

This is probably what happened to me last time with my all city rims, but hopefully with more people this can be spilt evenly too.

Something that may be of interest for others:

I got a bleed kit from AliExpress a while ago as it was far cheaper than the Magura bleed kit (one third of the price after buying the mineral oil separately). It's not as nice as an official one, most importantly the screw-in adapter is plastic instead of metal, but it worked perfectly for my first bleed and I don't see myself doing this often enough to need a proper set.

I might be up for that !

A few of us are hoping to do a big bundle (hopefully with a little discount if possible from them) will pm everyone above if you’re still interested by the end of the month.

I'm also kinda interested

I may also be interested in one rim for a training wheel for the TT bike, as long as the exchange rate hasn’t completely tanked by the end of the month!

@psg1ben will keep you both updated.

@ASTTer I think that’s after Brexit...

8 pairs you get 7.5% off.

Actually also after 2 pairs of rims, but I guess shipping them to Belgium afterwards would not make any difference.

cool thanks

Any recommendations for a Canyon VCLS like seat post?

Could do with another set of tubular rims. Count me in.

Some will pop up if you search carbon seatpost, sort on 'most sold' and scroll down a bit

They used to be sold as ‘3TS’ but it’s not coming up now.

I stalked eBay for real Canyon or Ergon CF3 ones in good condition. Picked one up for £70 in the end.
