Thomo 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.

Andymann Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 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.
Veebee Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 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.
Long Wheel Base Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I know this is slightly off topic but has anyone ever bought carbon bars from china?
Veebee Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 my wheels have arrived... :clap: Ican 45/55mm combo.They are packaged very well and the finish on the wheels are excellent. Not like some of the Chinese wheels seen online. Will post some pics later.
Veebee Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 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.
throttles Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I know this is slightly off topic but has anyone ever bought carbon bars from china? Yes, Aliexpress and DH gate. keep in mind you get what you paid for. go for mid priced.The cheaper ones might leave you at a loss..
Long Wheel Base Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Yes, Aliexpress and DH gate. keep in mind you get what you paid for. go for mid priced.The cheaper ones might leave you at a loss..Thanks. 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.
throttles Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I know guys that have EC90 and Enve Replicas.None have have issues. Guys with EC90's have had some hard crashes bars are 100% even with direct impact. Enve had a small fall no impact either..
Mr. G Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Have any of you guys bought 29" MTB, looking for a 29" boost set around say 1600 g ?What can I expect to pay?

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.

Cyclewizz Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 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.
