Chinese Carbon Thread

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Anyone currently dealing with HongFu at the moment?

 

Been conversing fine up till the end of last week - but heard nothing from them since, even though I have sent a couple follow up mails?

 

I don't think they are on holiday yet - next one is in September only I think...

I received an email from them today re some specials

Thanks. The mails suddenly went to spam even though we had sent about 6 mails to and fro...

Hello to all,
I'd like your advices for a new carbon frame, I'm looking for a non-branded/Chinese road frame, the features that interested me are:
- good construction quality
- good ride quality, I'm looking for an all-rounder with good climbing and descendig quality.
- tyres clearance up to 30mm or higher
- direct mount rim brakes
- seat tube angle 73° or 73.5° (in size 54-55) with standard seatpost

So far, I've found only two frames with this specs:
the first one is beautiful, but it's seem like a knoc-koff of the Tarmac SL6, is the "Fasterway Classic" I don't find any info about the frame or about the manufacturer:

the second one, is the Gotobke B40 aka Winspace SLC 2.0, I've found many pics, it is used by some cycling society, some of wich are semi-pro ..

I'm happy to introduce you my new chinese bike, it's a Fasterway Classic frame, with Ican FL40 wheelset, yesterday I rode the bike for the first time, I'm so happy, the frame is more reactive and more comfortable than my Fondriest R20, the direct mount are an advantage not trascurable .

Have any of you riff raff found, bought and used a rigid MTB (29er) fork with a thru axel as yet?

 

Slowly looking for one with a longer axel to crown (To mimic a 120mm suspension fork when sagged)

Morning all, I am quite new to this thread, where locally(preferably) can I get carbon rims at a decent price?

 

nick_the_wheelbuilder does Nextie rims, he could probably help out. www.wheelbuilder.co.za

Many of the Chinese manufacturers are offering holiday specials currently: discounts on prices, free shipping etc.

They won't be shipping until after the holidays though.

 

Some of them have local representation now too.

LightBicycle's been active here on Bikehub, and I've seen some references to Nextie too.

Local purchase seems to come at a bit of a premium but may be worth it when needing support.

HELP!!! OK, so I got my hands on a really cool chinese carbon aero frame for a good price. BUT, the seatpost has been shortened and is too short to set the bike up for myself!

 

Any ideas as to what posts could be compatible? (Pics attached) Frame is from Flyxii according to the info I have... (Yes I have mailed them in the hopes of a positive response)

Mark.  Did you get any joy out of this? Also wanting to get a carbon fork, but would rather deal direct, than go though eBay
