Java001 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Cool to see the faces and scenes behind the production lines. Yup, also cool to see this hopefully going some way at breaking down the stereotype of Chinese slave labour working in sweatshops, which is an image the West loves to portray when it wants to discourage people from buying Chinese products.

babse Posted May 24, 2013 Share And you are happy with them? I currently note that on their own website they only have 50mm Carbon with Novatec hubs and it is on these that they offer free shipping that seems to make it quite a bargain.Via their eBay store they show the following: 2013 Ultra Light Wheels ( Powerway Hubs)50mm Carbon Tubbies 1250g $ 437.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.50mm Carbon Clinchers 1390g $ 497.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA. Standard weight ( Novatec Hubs) 50mm Carbon Tubbies 1430g $ 417.25 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA.50mm Carbon Clinchers 1580g $ 459.75 after 15% discount & inclusive of calculated postage to SA. the 50mm tubbies meezo ordered has 23mm width with powerway hubs...hence the claimed weight of 1380g once glued up and ridden il post some feedback of my experience!

carbon29er Posted May 24, 2013 Share Hmmm. Neither of the wheels were for me. Yes powerway hubs is what i meant. And i was under the impression the 1390g was the weight for the tubbies. I ordered both 50mm tubbies and clinchers incl shipping it was $870Are these the noisy ones your mate petatodd had a problem with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted May 24, 2013 Share Are these the noisy ones your mate petatodd had a problem with? Nope! Wasn't the wheels. These are new never been ridden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
