W@nted Posted November 8, 2017 Share PM me your cell number. I know someone who brings in and brands his own carbon wheels and frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted November 8, 2017 Share Wheels, bars and stems - 3 things I would be very VERY careful when buying. I am unlikely to try any "rebranded" product until it had been im the market place for a while and had built up some history...

Eugene Posted November 8, 2017 Share Anything new in your price range are going to be cheap Chinese or rebranded cheap Chinese. Some guys swear by them, I wouldn't risk it. I agree that rather get a good set of aluminum wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted November 8, 2017 Share Just like everything even the 'cheap' carbon rims / sets have gone up in the last 18 month. Can't believe how much Darkhorse are now even on sale. Options for that money isn't a huge amount so you can a) import from a good maker like Lightbike b) try to find someone local who is importing from a cheaper manufacturer and sticking stickers on them and making a margin c) buy second hand - this doesn't have the used as there are enough guys who will pull off giant branded wheels and put on some R-Sys even thought the new carbon wheels on the TCR etc have insane reviews and a stupidly high heat tolerance and fade points.Personally if you don't want to bring them in then go with the one of the biggest manufacturers of carbon products... Giant! Local support as well. Or wait until Black Friday and score something overseas. CRC, Wiggle, Evans, Probikekit and the rest usual pump out carbon hoops when that rolls around. I've alway wondered why people go for heavy, cheap carbon over expert alu like American Classic when the 420's come in so well priced, light stiff and the hubs are so good.

Long Wheel Base Posted November 8, 2017 Share both front and back started folding.it was the new gen model with the U shaped rims. my mates front wheel did exactly the same a few months later.we both had them warranty replaced (good service by DH in that regard). and sold them immediately I have also heard mixed reports/feelings on DH wheels.How much do you weight?2 mates that both weight 100plus had them fail. Another 2 buddies who weight 70 odd have had no issues. Seems their weight limit it not that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidmouth Posted November 8, 2017 Share playing with your safety going cheap imo.a good set of alu wheels is better than a cheap set of carbon. i had a set of Dark Horse wheels disintegrate on me.i will only ever trust real brands with the budget for research going forward.Yip, same thing happened with me, not worth it.https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/zipp-302-carbon-clincher-wheelset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted November 8, 2017 Share Been riding and racing 38mm DH wheels for 3 years without issue... also in the 70kg category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidmouth Posted November 8, 2017 Share Im a way, im kinda glad to hear i am not the only person that has had DH wheels problems, after being told by my LBS they have never heard of this problem before and DH are brilliant with no complaints ever.After so many issues and frustration I have given up on DH and bought some of these ZIPPS, got them two weeks ago at R18500I see American Classic have full carbon at a even better price and Bontrager have also launched a Sub R20 Set of full carbon wheels https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/zipp-302-carbon-clincher-wheelset https://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/equipment/cycling-components/bike-wheels/road-bike-wheels-wheelsets/bontrager-aeolus-5-tlr-d3-clincher-road-wheel/p/12512/?colorCode=black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fly Posted November 8, 2017 Share I have some light-bicycle 45mm clinchers. You can get them on DT Swiss hubs which makes for a great set. Definitely worth checking out.Thanks did you have to import yourself?Was hoping to deal with an importer and order off the shelf or get them built up...

Another 2 buddies who weight 70 odd have had no issues. Seems their weight limit it not that high.They are for my brother (90KG). I have ridden bad quality Sram's that broke spokes and Low cost Concept Carbon guaranteed to 120KG and I was 120kg at that time...
