Chinese Carbon Wheel repair

[V12man]

Depending on the erd of the replacement rim being the same as the old one - if its different then new spokes will be needed

 

It'll be the rim that's thrown away.

One could get good Chinese replacements and have Kiwi build them over onto a solid racing set.

You have to ask if risking your life on those is worth it ?

 

picture this ; you going down hekpoort at 70km - 80km  ph and then wham ... a splintered wheel ...

. I only paid R1k for it. He told me that he think they are not genuine. I was happy with them.

 

 

Well then, what did you expect ?

Where will I find carbon hoops? Anybody who I can contact? Want to build the hubs and spokes over.

These guys have gotten great reviews and at that price point who can argue?!

Remember that it is the Chinese New Year and spring festival at the moment, so probably won't answer their emails????

Nothing g stops you from building an aluminium rim over onto that wheel. Unless you want the wheels to look the same.

When I eventually upgrade my wheels to Carbon I will be giving my money to Tokyowheel.

I have ridden on a repaired carbon rim and also on a Chinese carbon rim. I'll gladly do the same again.

 

But not on a  second hand set of (any)  wheels I bought for for R1000, particularly if I also know that the wheels are  fake.

[Broker]

is the whole wheel junked ?  or can the hub and possibly the spokes still be used ?  basically is there a way to make the best of a bad situation ?

For sure you can re-use the hub and possibly the spokes also. As long as spokes are not damaged when removed.

Correct - the Chinese can and do make quality products - and those suppliers who do make quality products do not feel the need to forge labels.

I have bought chinese parts (not branded) and they are 100%!!! No problem whatsoever
