Clinton - theCOW Posted November 1, 2016 Share Bought my first Chinese Carbon bike, decided it needed to be more fun/practical/low maintenance but still be good for race day. Bought it from Flyxii (FR-216), since the pic, the seat post has been changed to a Matt Carbon, Stem Matt Carbon, Handlebars to 3k weave all supplied by Flyxii. Riding a 2.3 rear, 2.1 front, thinking i need to go wider up front to add a bit more plushness. So far, happy LOOK695, waveduke, Andrew_Smith and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted November 10, 2016 Share Tomorrow is 11.11 on Aliexpress, some great deals so I hear. Any recommendations? I need 50mm carbon clinchers...Not sure how often you shop on Aliexpress? Earlier this week I looked at items I have bought in the last 6 months and compared the prices to then and now as am considering buying more of the same. Some items have had their price inflated and are now been offered on sale in the 11:11 at a similar price I bought at 2 months ago (with no sale)!!

Cippo Posted November 11, 2016 Share I saw frames with the flashing 11/11 red signs in the $345-$380 range. I find it strange though that postage is $85 (R1200). Edited November 11, 2016 by Cippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeffer Posted November 11, 2016 Share R5k for an aero frame is in my book a bargain!!! Advice please: I am hoping to build my bike's components over to such frame. everything should be OK, only not sure about BB. I have full 105. Ad says PF30 BB. Will it be compatible?

Will it be compatible?So roughly it would be just under 6k incl vat, duties (15.4%) + R1200 for postage. PF30 is pressfit BB30 so I am sure you can get an adaptor for your GXP crankset. Someone on this forum should be able to advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondyMig Posted November 11, 2016 Share The BB for Shimano cranks is straight forward. There are 2 ways to do this:Option 1: BB30 to 24mm (GXP) adapter. The cups press straight into the frame, and the axle is 24mm, the standard Shimano axle size. Option 2: BB30 to BSA adapter. The original Shimano threaded cups screw into the first adapter, and sit externally on the frame. I prefer the former: it's lighter, only 1 adapter and looks neater. Price is about $35, depending where you buy it from. Zeffer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil6 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Hi guys, has anyone ordered Carbon Rims? How will I determine what the spoke length will be if I want to order spokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted November 16, 2016 Share Some say that if you give your Chinese carbon a good sniff you can actually smell the sweat and tears of the child labourers. Wil6, scubes and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
