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

That's why threads like these, contributed to by communities such as ours are so valuable.

Bought my rims on the back of a RBR thread. There's a massive thread regarding the various OEM frames on the market too.
The trouble is, most people dont like to admitt that they mad a bad purchase. So you need to take posts with a pinch of salt.

Worth it if they do work out though- then it's Farsports rims/Tune hubs/CX-RAY spokes time.

Very original ;)

Hidden nipples and triplet lacing please.

I should have my roadie on the road after my hols. I'll let you know how my wheels ride. I expect them to feel fast because they're light, and I expect the hubs to be smooth because they're Tune. What I'm not sure about, is if they will be as responsive as I desperately want them to be.

Interestingly (not really). I used a taiwanese version of CX-rays (although deeper for the rear), and am about to rebuild my fixed wheelsetset with a taiwanese version of DT revs. So its not just the rims and hubs you can save on.
