_Pat_ Posted August 19, 2013 Share Hi Guys So hears my sad story, i ordered a set of rims from one of the companies in china they were supper light at around 330g per piece and was quite happy to try them out. However, when they were been built up one of the spokes pulled through the rim. the company gladly replaced the rim with a warrantee, but they sent me the wrong rim which is a much better design, but sitting at 400 grams (Sorry the weight weenie in me says i cant) so i wanna know if there is anyone on this thread who is keen on buying a single carbon rim?

Tacet Posted August 19, 2013 Share I've read through this thread, but might have missed it: has anyone posted a detailed BoM for a build from scratch? I'm interested in building my own road bike, but am a total noob to bike tinkering. Also, has anyone looked at the HF-FM069? Supposed to weigh 920g.
