Resiesfiets Posted September 15, 2017 Share Can't comment on the quality as I'm still waiting for production to happen (2 weeks after ordering), and then delivery. From all accounts they are decent though. Just be prepared for a 1 month wait from ordering to delivery.Cool, please post pics once your build is complete.

OG Imports Posted April 17, 2018 Share Hi guys, I've never ordered from china before and looking to buy some carbon wheels. Wheels need to be about 38mm depth, need to accept 28c tyres and need to be non disc brake. I've had a look at hongfu, dengfu and xm carbonspeed but am unsure of what is any good... anyone had any experience running wider tyres on chinese rims?

Two-Stroke Posted April 17, 2018 Share Mopkop - which model LightBicycle rims are those? this is a super late update, demmit My wheels are done, Did the Baviaans on the 29er setup, Got the Road wheels done before the DC Light-Bicycle rims with Hope PRO 4 hubs. The wide rims make a MASSIVE difference. A must upgrade for everyone 20160731_140459.jpg 20160731_140613.jpg Light-Bicycle rims 45mm, Sapim spokes and Hope Mono RS hubs 20161121_162923.jpg Mopkop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a look at hongfu, dengfu and xm carbonspeed but am unsure of what is any good... anyone had any experience running wider tyres on chinese rims? Have a look at Yishunbike as well. I’ve got a set on my gravel bike and they holding up great. Ordered them without spoke holes in the rim bed. Makes for easier tubeless setup. I’ve got road clincher rims as I use them with road tyres as well at higher psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Yuananbike to be the easiest to deal with. Fantastic quality and price. look at the site and email Cassie. I have been riding their 30mm internal assymetric MTB wheels and I am not light for a year now. No problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG Imports Posted April 19, 2018 Share Thanks guys, Looked at LightBicycle, Yuananbike and a few others and am ready to pull the trigger on a set from LightBicycle. Wheels as follows: Wheelset WRU45C02 is USD524/pair with below specs--Rims: RRU45C02, 25mm wide, 45mm deep, UD, matte, 20H/24H, with brake surface--Hubs: black Novatec, front 100mm*QR/rear 130mm*QR, Shimano road 10/11s, J-bend, non-disc--Spokes: black bladed Pillar Aero X-TRA 1420, J-bend--Nipples: black alloy My only concern is shipping via EMS is $134 which seems steep in comparison to what I've seen on AliExpress and other vendor sites. @Quagga, when you bought ffrom LightBicycle were there any other costs other than VAT?

I paid $70 when dealing with XM Carbonspeed. Also had to pay R350-odd for clearing and forwarding and VAT on this side.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 19, 2018 Share Utilise Aramex Global Shopper. Also ask the shop to write you a different invoice for import reasons And get laced with a fine, extra duties & a 2 month wait when Customs query it. Don't commit customs fraud, guys. It's not the right thing to do. And yes, a mate had his single-trailer detained when the shop he bought it from "kindly" decided to rate it at a value of GBP5.
