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

Check out WW's.

Quite a few people have used yoeleo on there I think.

I've always used Farsports before, but the Hong-Fu stuff seems (from SF's experience) to be good.

Those 22mm wheels are available in both clincher and tub versions it would appear.

Email this morning from Hong-Fu, $495 delivered for the tubulars.

Anyone bought one of these from Yoeleo? I did a cursory search but couldn't find anything. If you know someone who has dealt with them could you point me in the right direction.
Thank you kindly

That's going to be about £400 with shipping and tax. That sort of money gives you your choice among the many second hand Hed3s on sale

Cheers guys. I should have mentioned that I'm in Melbourne at the moment so I havent seen too many second hand tri's for sale. Yoeleo was quoting me about £310 to the door which seems ok. All the reviews on WW were pretty positive. I'll sit on it till I get my tax back but I think it would suit my new langster.

This is currently need to be resolved, but bought a set of track 88mm carbon wheel set, the rear was smooth and true, but the front has several cracks that seem to be patched up with some sort of oil paint to repair it. On top of that the seller said it was 'common' and they had no complain about their wheels with the cracks...

This is currently need to be resolved but brought a set of track 88mm carbon wheelset

With English like that, you could work for FarSports.

Never been good with proof reading :/

done;

Project Chinvelo is done;

Possibly slam that stem (would know when I ride sans backpack), get black bottle cage and black bottles and few little tweaks.

Is there any other options for getting carbon rims than planet x, e bay or from China?

Planet X don't have what I want and would prefer to not have the hastle of ordering through China

kinoko, maybe.

decent carbon clinchers for the track?

just get tubs for the track

+1 v sprint. My carbon tubs arrived last week and look great.

new carbon clinchers have arrived for disc cyclocross bike..

45mm and 24.5 wide with no braking surface 32h and tubeless compatible - look ace. going to be built with novatec 711 &712 hubs

anybody got any advice on spoke choice?

dt swiss do some disc brake specific spokes, but I don't recall the name. smallfurry will know.

With 32h, CX-Rays are fine for disc brake wheels. Any other common spoke will do too (DT Comp, Alpine III, ACI if you're cheap)

Dt super comps.

^ thats it.
I used dt revolution in my disc cross wheels, they have been really nice so far.

thanks for the advice, I will try the super comps (this will be my first wheel build!)

rose for the spokes?

I used revs and super comps for my bling 29er build. Revs are tricky to use.

Super comps have a narrower threaded section. So you need the correct nipples.

Correct as in length or manufacturer?

Correct as in thread size - they are 1.8mm at the threaded end, not the standard 2.0mm

Thanks again

also; tricky, how?
I found revs quite lovely to work with.
