Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Anyone here purchase stuff from Xiamen Carbonal Composite technology? they have a rather nice full suspension 27.5 reasonably price. Any feedback would be appreciated There was a build thread by Izak(I think) who built up a chinese 27,5 DS. Gave it a glowing review.

Dicky DQ Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 What is the deal with insuring a china......? how do you value it come an accident or fall for insurance claim purposes?
Butterbean Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 What is the deal with insuring a china......? how do you value it come an accident or fall for insurance claim purposes? Just like you do with any other bike. Be honest, and insure it's replacement value.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 cool thanks could you post the link? It is from earlier in this thread if I recall.Unfortunately you will need to start searching or drop Izak a PM.

Now there is no one to give an "independent" valuation. do they take my word for it at claim time?

Now there is no one to give an "independent" valuation. do they take my word for it at claim time? Any decent LBS will be able to give you a replacement value, even if it is a Chinese frame.You could always get a replacement quote from Hongfu, or whoever, when you needed to claim and submit this to the LBS for costing. The LBS can just submit a report on the damage and need for replacement. Edited September 5, 2014 by Steven Knoetze (sk27)

King_Crispy Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Yo If someone asks what is in the box when fetching it say wheels, not clothes. Clothes has a mad import duty.You need to take the original invoice with you.I had my second last parcel opened by them as it felt "too light" to be cycling components.So they might make you open the package, and if it's NOT what you said it is you're in SERIOUS ***
