Thomo Posted March 21, 2019 Share 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?https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/323095-nextie-carbon-rims-special/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted March 25, 2019 Share Are you happy with these wheels...I am interested in 38 mm clinchers, see they only weigh 1319 g. What hubs did you useSo far so good - I haven't raced them much to be honest but the times I have they were fine. I can't feel a huge difference over my old Zipp 606/404 Tubbie combo - they are very similar in performance, and the Zipp overall package is quite a bit lighter than the BladeX combo - (almost 300g actually), but I needed a set of new wheels for the TT bike that were 11sp Compatible, and these fitted my wallet. They are Bitex hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted April 3, 2019 Share my wheels are delayed, sitting in JHB and RPX taking their sweet time to clear it.Took them 3 days to tell me the didnt have the invoice. 2 days to come from China and 7 days to get it out of JHB. Service standards in SA is just poor. ChUkKy and Mr. G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted April 15, 2019 Share Have only done a few short rides on them as I've been sick ever since I got them.They are smooth, braking is good with the supplied pads and no squeaks etc. Wannabe, MDJ, Ferro and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah quality is my main concern. Really don't want a set of bars failing and have to pull a Hincapie into the ditch. Especially as I want them for my tandem.

Enve had a small fall no impact either..What supplier/store did they buy them from? I think you can get replicas from just about any store, sometimes the user rating on aliexpress is not so reliable(I have seen some ratings where they slate the product in the review but give 5 stars because the seller responded quickly) But I want unbranded ones anyway. I don't want to be riding with something that says ENVE/easton if it isn't ENVE/easton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclewizz Posted April 15, 2019 Share I know this is slightly off topic but has anyone ever bought carbon bars from china?I've brought in a set and my son has brought 2 sets (2 sets are integrated and 1 set is normal bars) The normal bars were the cheap ones but nothing wrong with them.Have seen the exact same bars for sale on the hub with a BIG mark up.
