BicyclePower Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 At this price point, what Hubs and spokes are these wheels built with so that the folks can compare apples with apples?All our road wheels come with our own hubs which have a T7075 all 15mm axle both front and rear with ABEC 5 bearings, standard sizing so any bike shop can service. The free hub offers a 30 tooth ring with 6 multi point engagements allowing for free hub engagement every 12' Spokes are Sapim CX-ray bladed with Sapim 16mm brass nipples (we run brass because they stronger, don't corrode and easier to work with). Wheels also include the tubeless tape and valves and then matching QR's (front and rear). Concept Speed carbon specific brake pads are included.

LOOK695 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I suspected the build was more time consuming than rocket science.So probably not a popular exercise at LBS, but one that they would be capable of doing.Takes a bit longer, that’s all
Polo Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Does anyone know where I can find a carbon rim (just the rim, 38mm preferably) in Cape Town. I melted my back rim over the weekend and can't wait a month for a new one from China.

babse Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Do you have pics of the wheels you bought ?What you see is what you get. I was lining up a set of tubbies from them however got a sweet deal on a 2nd hand pair locally. Bought from them before. Absolutely no issues from communication to the product quality and of cause good value.
Schmorglebot Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 http://www.flyxii.com/PRODUCTS?product_category=73&brd=1 thank me later +1 on these. I have a set of their 38mm's with about 10000km on them. The hubs are still smooth as butter, the braking surface is still hundreds (I can recommend changing to Swissstop pads though). I've hit potholes at speed and thought "sh!t, there goes my wheel" but they were unharmed. They needed a truing out the box and only one other truing over the 10000+km's Highly recommended
AllAboutRides Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Anyone that can help with some 32mm - 40mm carbon road wheels disc?
HABA Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 https://www.bladexcycle.com/bladex-sdm-6X9-handmade-full-carbon-road-bike-wheelset/ So these arrived for me today - I upgraded to 11sp and needed a set of race wheels so found a local importer in Cape Town and ordered a set. I had them assembled here in Jhb by Nick at Wheelbulder.co.za so looking forward to seeing how they compare to my old Zipps. Finish looks superb though, and they are tubeless compatible - not sure If I'll go that route yet, but I have the valves and all the bits if I want to later.Are you happy with these wheels...I am interested in 38 mm clinchers, see they only weigh 1319 g. What hubs did you use

SCD Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Anybody still selling Nextie rims in South Africa? And: Ordering from China gives me the option to ship with EMS, DHL and Fedex. Any experience with the shipping duration with DHL or Fedex?
