Looks like a fake corima.
Looks nothing like a Corima, or a Pro or a Xentis or a FFWD, so at least whoever made it wasn't trying to pass it off :-)

this is more like some obscure russian wheel. many of which arent carbon but rather a mix of fiberglass, polymer or aramid. Are you sure tis carbon?
-
• #4
Yeah doesn't look very carbon to me
-
• #5
I have no idea to be honest

Would take it as a wall hanger if shipping wasn't so much

Ok, it's carbon, because I can see some black fibres. Not glass in black resin, at least round the rim anyway. 3k weave on the bits round the rim that I can see. Wet layup because there are some dry looking fibres. Nice hub, but... it's bonded in the wrong way round! So it's got backwards aero, lol. I'm sort of tempted to skin it with 0.3mm cf and run it as a disc.

Right, I'm going to bump this back up. I think realistically I'm not going to get around to doing this, mainly because I've got too much work on but I've also just picked up a ratty old disc. Back up for £25
Description of the damage (bad bits):
-Ding on the rim. It's a bit crispy sounding because the fibres are very dry. Here I think it might just need sanding back and some resin squirting in with a syringe.
-Crack on the sidewall. Will probably need sanding back and a small patch applying.
-Valve hole is fine, it's not damaged.Good bits:
-Pretty strong wheel.
-Hub is lovely if you wanted to cut it out the wheel.I think it's a pretty easy fix. Alternatively, do what I was going to do and bond some skins on and make it into a budget disc.
Pick it up from Waterloo, Staines or Egham. NOW SOLD.

Looks like shipping to EU is about £16-£20 depending on the country. Where are you? I don't mind posting if I can do it on Monday, otherwise I'm not going to get another chance to get it collected for a while.

£25 with Parcelforce Euro. It's a bit cheaper with DPD but I haven't got a printer to print out their label. Parcelforce are reliable in my experience.
Do it man!

I can offer you 40 pounds for the wheel + shipping to Bulgaria.
Edit: Sorry I'm backing out. Didn't see the last pic with the rim damage. A bit too much for me. Glws

This is now sold.
Bought off the infamous and now thankfully banned @Fattie_Mattie a while back.
I was told it was a blb prototype but i have no idea. Looks like a fake corima.
possibly carbon but not 100%
700c
Tubular
Threaded for a cog and lockring(threads in good condition)
Lots of damage as shown in photos; big crack, chip, deep scratch and damage to the valve hole.
This wheel is NOT safe to ride and you would need to get it repaired before it is. I will take no responsibility if it brakes.
