Everything seems solid. A small uneven spot on the seatpost but nothing major.

I've noticed all the links I've see are to 'agents' and not manufacturers.

Therefore paying the agents mark up and com on the frames.

Are there any manufacturers links.

Aliexpress act as an agent to most of the companies afaik, they hold the payment until your good have arrived and you are happy.

 

I tried to order directly and they redirected me to aliexpress.

Ok so I need some help or advise for the experienced builders.

 

Firstly - Bogus is booked up until the new year so im going to have to get it sprayed at a later stage.

 

Now I have some other problems - namely my wheels. I have a set of Vuelta carbon pro 50mm's. Apparently you cant put on a new free body or change the entire hub. LBS told me I need to buy a whole new wheel set?

 

Can anyone advise an alternative option or do I have to get new wheels?

 

Yesterdays excitement is starting to fade ....

Sorry to hear, have you contacted Vuelta directly to find out if it is possible?

 

Looking at the website and the wheel parts, seems you maybe able to http://www.vueltausa.com/vuelta-wheel-parts/vuelta-road-wheel-parts.html

You always leak money when doing a build !!.... at least you have the excitement of a build... nothing in the post office for me today :(

 

It still might be cheaper to ship in direct a free body rather than a complete new set of wheels

i asked the same questions for a zipp freehub, guys here on the hub mentioned they had the freehub engineered, it might be worth giving it a shot?

One of the anomalies of dealing with China is that you will rarely deal with the manufacturer rather than through an agent as the manufacturers do not have export permits and they deal in thousands of units at a time rather than the ones and two retail customers buy. But the positive is that the agents don't make massive markups.
