The Orient Express thread has had it's name changed to include "Cheap carbon forks/wheels/frames from china"
Can we get rid of "cheap"? The stuff is cheaper than, for example a pair of Zipps, but anyone expecting a £100 wheelset is going to be extremely disapointed.

Why not change to "cheap looking"?

Oh yes, that brilliant scheme designed to get adults jumping up and down and begging for invites like kids being offered vouchers for free ice cream. Still, at least they have their dignity.

They are 'cheap' parts, that's the only reason anyone buys them.

They are cheap enough to experiment for sure- and some of us would think twice about running branded carbon as you do due to the replacement costs. If you crack a Zipp that's a nasty amount of money to find, crack one of the chinese rims and it's painful for sure, but it's not the price of a new bike to replace.
Once the experimental phase is over the intention is to build the rims using Tune hubs and CX Ray spokes- again, not a cheap wheelset.
I think your prejudice is showing, and it's a little unfair.
They probably post in Polo.
