Rims are 27mm wide 56mm Aero rims. Complete build with Powerway hubs (clinchers)

Bought from DengFu, paid USD500 for them USD90 for shipping and R400 for duty etc.

Decals got from Tyrone (on the Hub) gave him direction on what i wanted and he designed and printed them for me. Applied them myself

Tires are specialized turbo Pro - got them overseas haven't seen them in this country

As mentioned the problem i have now is getting the breaks to work, the rims are very wide and i need to find a way to open the calipers more - any ideas?

 

Hi Lone One,

 

What's the weight on your wheelset, tyres incl?

How the heck did you get shipping so cheap. On average they charge between 160 to 185USD shipping.

 

Same thing I'm thinking, that looks like a hongfu frame, sounds likes hongfu shipping costs, are you its DengFu?

Does anyone have the FLX-FR-202 and FLX-FR-216 frames? I am looking for pictures of a complete build. I can't decide between the 2

I have but google does not ride them :whistling:

 

And if you click on any of the pics of the built up bike,will normally take you to the webpage, which is often a forum where they will have discussed the build as well as ride feedback....
