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

This sounds appealing actually

'10. spinnnout - Wheelset AR35 disc, Flyweight, Hook, Paintless, UD, 5 Years, No Access Holes, With Drain Holes. Bitex BX312F / BX312R, 12 / 100mm, 12 / 142mm, Shimano Road 11S, straight pull, Center lock, Black hub, 24H, 144T. Sapim CX Ray, Aluminium Black, Black stealth decal (valve hole only).

I'll chase up the other sets and see if people are committing by end of the weekend.

So they’ve said wheels are included but at a slightly lower discount. But they can’t confirm what that is until they see the actual order.

I’m in for 650b rims for my Slate but need to work out the spec!?

Just had a look at the items on list, compiling them in a spreadsheet (will share shortly) and some of the rims are not "Pro" series. Those that specified them, can you have another look and see if you can find the equivalent in Pro series? If not dead set on the non Pro ones..

You removed me :(

Could you add me back please

On the LB website they state you can get customised rims, anyone know to what extent this is? The rims I’ve seen, 650B are 35mm deep wondering if they’d be able to do 45mm?

anyone know to what extent this is?

To the extent that you're willing to pay for it. Custom graphics and drilling are cheap, making a new mould for a custom rim profile would be thousands of dollars but they are in the business of doing that for OEM customers.

Ah I see. I wondered if they might have loads of options not listed, for ease I suppose.

You could always ask them if they're planning to enter the aero-touring market with some deeper 650B rims 😀

List moved here for ease.

Make sure I have copied across all the details for your order/needs. Some details were missing or I could not decipher from the list above, so make sure to review and fill in as required.

There are currently 28 rims on the list, of which 22 only are Pro series. @leggy_blonde @atz @frank9755 are you all set on those rims or is there an equivalent from the Pro series? I think the price mark up of the Pro series will match the non pro if we hit the 30% off.

Definitely worth it pinging them an email

I’ve gotta stay faster than my daughters somehow

I’ll check. I’m likely in for a pair of Pro rims.

I’ll have a look tomorrow evening and see what’s what
