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

Disc or rim brake? I have some disc brake wheels I need to sell. 45mm light bicycle rims on red novatec hubs.

@giofox no experience of that particular rim. Probably a bit late if you've already bought but when I bought these they were happy to ship one built wheel and one rim. I bought these https://www.lightbicycle.com/photowall/RM29C19--rims-light-and-very-stiffness-522.html
And a couple of thousand miles later they're still excellent.

Yep, I saw the review, but gave it a shot anyways, thought mine had a chance of coming from a better batch. Would be nice to have an alternative from a EU webshop that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Those are the ones I got. No ejections so far, seem sturdy despite the weight, look bling

Cheers.

I might be interested if Baklava isn't. Pm'd you.

How are your goproe wheels holding up?

This is them yeah? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000498750847.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.0.0.392c2ec2FfmT1p

What was the eventual delivery time on them?

Haven't ridden them yet. Bought them for a winter bike which has so far not materialised.
6 weeks from ordering I think
That's them, yep

Ah rim brake, sorry

Buy the LB rims I’ve got and get your fave wheel builder to build into a set?

I have the rims here and can ask Arkane to build them up if you want…

Ribble Endurance Slr frameset, decent or just another rebranded open mould frame I can get cheaper elsewhere?

Does anyone have any experience with LB mtb rims?

Anyone knows if theres a reputable chinese stem similar to enve/zipp carbon stem? By reputable i mean I wouldn’t explode mid ride. This will be rattle can-painted and use for gravel ride so must stand some level of fatigue.

The rounded edges at the fork clamp area is what im looking for.

Basically pro
