Thomo Posted February 5, 2019 Share 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 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
