Chinese Carbon Thread

[_Pat_]

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?

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.

I'd go for the FM136, looks far nicer!!! IMO

 

By the way do a search on this thread for StressedEric he built one. Super sexy bike!!

 

Either of the sellers above are very reputable and quick to respond, drop them a mail to get quotes!

Both been very good. Corbonal even sent a message again this morning to see if I had any further questions.

 

I am nervous to do this.......but I will have a bike none of my mates have.

I like them.

 

Now do I go the whole way and get a carbon saddle?

It's your bum that have to sit on them!

Personally I would not go for a full carbon saddle. But I must add that I have never rode on one.

[Hennie VR]

Anybody ever rode on these?
