Ryan Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Not the best quality pics It looks to me as if you were showing off the pics of your view more than the pics of the frame.

BLACKvoodoo Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 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.

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.
JGR Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 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 ....
shaper Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 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 11spd upgrade kits http://www.vueltausa.com/11-speed-upgrade-kit.html Might be worth dropping them an email

shaper Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I was told they are making them but not available in RSA .... eish ..im leaking moneyYou 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
Meezo Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 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?

But the positive is that the agents don't make massive markups.
DovieM Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 My Hongfu FM196's arrive next week and cannot wait to start playing.
