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

carbon_wheelset.pdf says "sample price will be 20% higher" right at the bottom

Ah, there we go- I am blind.

I had to look for it...it was hidden in plain view.

I've looked at the pdfs but there is no mention of hub configuration, so does anyone know if they do Campag compatible hubs?

The hubs are joytech and can be easily swapped out.

Yep, you jsut specify Campag or Shimano when ordering.

You can have Alchemy hubs as an option if you want as well- but it adds $700 to the price so I didn't mention it before.

I'm going to go for the Hubsmith option I think, with CX-Rays.

I'll have 2x 38mm tub rims please. 20/24 UD

List, make a list.

1. Hovis
   a) FSC60-TM 20/24 spoke, 1,350g per pair (60mm tubular superlights)
   b) Bitex Hubs / Sapim CX-Ray spokes / 3k Matt Finish
   c) Black hubs, black spokes, black nipples
   d) $556
   
   

2) Señor Bear
a) 38mm tub rims. 20/24 UD [light weight or standard?]
d) $[??]

page 23 i started the list, have a look.

Also, Stonehenge is correct, the 20% was applied to the cost of each rim in that invoice you sent me.

So the price we will pay is:
wheelset cost on those tables
+20% minimum order charge (assuming we have less than 10)
+4% paypal surcharge
+80 dollar postage shared.

Still works out that cheap but not as cheap as i initially thought! I will amend the list to say shimano hub

Sorry to take this is a bit of tangent but has anybody seen any of these Chinese factories knocking out crabon fibber forks with a 1" steerer?

They're nuff expensive for new ones over here.

I'd doubt they'd bother doing them as they'd not sell any

Any chance of just buying a single front wheel - or only pairs?

I'd doubt they'd bother doing them as they'd not sell any

One of the sellers has e-mail me back and reckons they are going to start making them because they've had loads of enquiries.

But much less eloquently.

They look very good and use apparently dt swiss bladed spokes and novatec hubs. Im probably going to buy a pair however if anyone else is interested please pm me as I would be able to save each other money. The price listed below is for A wheelset with dt swiss bladed spokes and novatec hubs. They have a range of colours and the wheelsets are 32-32 which is good for all yall and your track hubs. If interested in rim set alone pm me.

38mm carbon tubular fixed gear wheelset-------------$340.00/pair
50mm carbon tubular fixed gear wheelset ------------$350.00/pair
60mm carbon tubular fixed gear wheelset-------------$370.00/pair
88mm carbon tubular fixed gear wheelset-------------$430.00/pair

38mm carbon clincher fixed gear wheelset-------------$415.00/pair
50mm carbon clincher fixed gear wheelset-------------$425.00/pair
60mm carbon clincher fixed gear wheelset-------------$455.00/pair
88mm carbon clincher fixed gear wheelset-------------$475.00/pair

Im aware that there is another crabon thread but this is a clear alternative to pricing etc..

Merge.

Potentially interested. Will have a look from exchange rates to bank balance and then make a call. Any idea on the postage costs?

$350 for 50mm tubs on Novatecs is pretty good.

How much is delivery?

68$ shipping
1 year guarantee
eh I dunno how to merge
