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

Would also be interested if postage is possible! if @pjhobs doesnt take I certainly will.

3rd dibs. No post for me tho

@pjhobs & @carbonsinglespeed - I can post yes, but it took me 1h30 to queue at my local post office today so I will only go back next Tuesday now.

If you are happy to wait until then, slide in my PMs.

(I'll also include some carbon paste in a small ziplock bag in the deal so you can fit it direct)

EDIT @PhilDAS is now first in line if he can pick up this week as I would do anything to avoid going to the Post Office

Don’t want to jump the queue 😬

Where’s collection?

Scum bag. Karma dictates its gonna snap and tear you a new arse hole.

Was there a weight limit with the legit version of these posts? I seem to remember something about it.

I'll count my self out, wouldn't want you queuing at the post office unnecessarily.

No problem at all!

My seatpost clamp is a shocking 27g. What would someone recommend around 10g?

ICAN do a 14g carbon one. No idea whether it's decent quality or not. You reminded me that I need a new bottle cage; lightweight copy it is then

I've had a few of these, they work fine

I've also got 2 of these. Haven't lost a bottle yet but they're not very secure at all

It's not going anywhere bumpy; should be okay hopefully

I've got the same generic Chinese thing on my 464 with different branding. Haven't put much mileage on it, but I'm a fat bastard and it's done a few laps of Shurlock Row without complaint.

I'm thinking of getting a fairly basic carbon road frameset with rim brakes and quick release wheels. Does this sort of thing even exist these days and if so would anyone be kind enough to point me in the direction of a chinese supplier? Thanks

Hong Fu FM-066?

most excellent choice

I'd agree. I had one (actually, the SL as I think about it) for a bit and couldn't find fault.

Any Chinese Ti seatposts going spare round these parts?

What size are you after?

I like the ones with round clamps at the top...

27.2, straight or setback

I've got a set of XL50 Superleggera wheels that need new bearings.

Hubs are unbranded and I purchased the wheels second hand, but I think someone purchased them from Ribble originally, not much info about them.

The brand is CSN apparently.

What size bearing would I need for them?

Also, is there any kind of tutorial on how to replace them? I can't even seem to see how I would take them to bits! Guessing there's an internal allen bolt or something.

Thanks!

The brand is CSN

Have you tried asking Ribble? CSN is their house brand.

Ah! I didn't know this, thanks :)

I thought as they were out of stock and there's nothing more on the brand that it had gone bust.

I shall fire an email off to them now

Ahh, sorry, one I've got is +30mm

Any good recommendations for a Specialized Power Saddle Ripp-Off ? Curious to try this shape without spending a fortune.

Search on eBay for EC90 saddle, think they're about £15. Might even have been one for sale on here not too long ago

Ive got a Spesh full carbon I'd let go of. Its not Romin shape thats all i know. Has the little cut outs at the back
