• @Dom.M Fitlite Carbon Store om Aliexpress. Was hesitant about going Chinese carbon but the seller was responsive and the lay-up seems clean. Completely understand the hesitation towards chinese rims though so check out the link yourself below. Just as a disclaimer, ad says 1289 grams but supposedly thats for the 38mm depth rims, this came in just below 1400g on my scales and have upgraded brake tracks that have been more powerful than my previous ksyrium ES. Exact version is 50mm-bitex-1420 (pillar 1420 spokes-excellent spokes), which have actually gone up in price and are at £450 before VAT.

  • These are still playing on my mind!

    No qualms about Chinese carbon per se, but do have some reservations about unknown Chinese carbon sellers - how did you end up opting for this seller?

    Also, when did you buy them? How much warranty is left?

  • Thought I'd answered so apologies if this is a repeat! Bought in December and not sure about warranty, check link above and it should say somewhere. I wouldn't trust them to honour it though as theres no regulatory incentive to do so with them being all the way across the world. But the wheels look well made and have good, easily serviceable parts, so I'd trust them to last on that alone.

    I scouted the seller out by making sure they answered quickly, under the assumption that if they care about customer interaction enough to respond to loads of questions before me even buying, they'd make decent wheels and support me should any problems arise.
