Both dengfu and hongfu are reputable. In my personal experience, responses are much quicker, infact on a whole hongfu service better. I won't say dengfu is bad, just hongfu was better. Aliexpress store 302275, is flyxii, as is many of the stores of ebay and aliexpress. Send them a mail thru Aliexpress see who responds. I'm almost 100% sure it will be Amy from flyxii

Meezo, have you also dealt with Carbonspeedcycle, earlier mentioned, over a period of time ? Their 50mm Carbon tubbies with Novatec hubs, although not the lightest out there at just below 1500 g, seems a very good buy @ $ 385 with Free Shipping. I am very, very tempted !

The clinchers i ordered were 1580g with novatec hubs. The tubbies were 1380g with powerlight hubs. Ordered wheels about 2days later they supplied a tracking number, within 2 weeks the wheels were here.

And you are happy with them? I currently note that on their own website they only have 50mm Carbon with Novatec hubs and it is on these that they offer free shipping that seems to make it quite a bargain.

Via their eBay store they show the following:

2013 Ultra Light Wheels ( Powerway Hubs)

50mm Carbon Tubbies 1250g $ 437.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.

50mm Carbon Clinchers 1390g $ 497.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.

 

Standard weight ( Novatec Hubs)

50mm Carbon Tubbies 1430g $ 417.25 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.

50mm Carbon Clinchers 1580g $ 459.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.

Hmmm. Neither of the wheels were for me. Yes powerway hubs is what i meant. And i was under the impression the 1390g was the weight for the tubbies. I ordered both 50mm tubbies and clinchers incl shipping it was $870

I dealt with Aliexpress shop no 803984 and never waited more than a couple of hours for a response on emails. Frame looks stunning and only the seatpost clamp they gave as a freeby looks a bit iffy
