Rocket-Boy Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 Anybody recently bought disc road wheels from China? Seems like they now do not ship to us...and the few that does... Asks a ton of cash to ship via fedex... Any advice/assistance will be helpfull.WIth no direct flights to China from SAA at the moment the international shipping rates are through the roof.I have noticed the same with literally everything coming from China, often the shipping is a whole lot more than the purchase price.
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Just want to let everyone know that EMS shipping is now available again from China to SA. That said, I'll be ordering more rims from my favourite Chinese supplier, NEXTIE. Check them out at www.nextie.com  If you're interested, let me know if you'd like to add to my orders - I take care of payments, imorts, taxes for you, whether or not I build your wheels. ObiWhanKenobi, Rocket-Boy, Mopkop and 3 others 6

Dubber Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 https://www.diycarbonbikes.com/collections/fullsuspensionframes/products/29er-or-27-5-dcb-f130-fuel-style-carbon-fs-mtb-frame?variant=33013170176080 Hi all, looking at this frame, is there anything equivalent from reputable sellers, any other sellers on the interwebs that sell Chinese carbon frames? Dengfu etc?Kind regardsTy (DIY Carbon Bikes) is based in USA and imports blank Chinese components and frames, builds them up and re-sells them to the local market (so they don't have to deal with imports / builds etc). Much like Rob Booth did for Booth bikes in SA (if you know of Rob Booth)... Ty seems like a decent guy - I've messaged him a couple times and he's been really helpful with advice for my builds. So long story short - try drop him a message and ask who he buys from in China. Let him know you are in SA and not trying to cut him out. He may let you know... And all that said, try ICAN bikes. Just at a glance the bike in the link looks similar to the 130mm Ican bike:https://icancycling.com/collections/mtb-frame/products/trail-bike-frame-p1 Mtree 1
