LOOK695 Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 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... GI received an email from them today re some specials
Dubber Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 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...

Hairy Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 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)
Dexter-morgan Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Morning all, I am quite new to this thread, where locally(preferably) can I get carbon rims at a decent price?
madbradd Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 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 nonky 1
Thomo Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Morning all, I am quite new to this thread, where locally(preferably) can I get carbon rims at a decent price?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.
Stall_Gear Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 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)
