Chinese no name rims

[awesme]

Hi guys...

 

what's the avg cost these days for a no name chinese carbon rim. how's the Quality on them. Know they and other brans most of the time come out of the same factor/production lines, just the QA which is varied.

 

Assume with this because of cost saving it's simply easier to buy a 3rd rim as a backup, as backup/support is likely totally non existing.

You get Chinese rims and you get Chinese rims. Some are top notch quality, others, I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

 

The question you should be asking yourself is how to differentiate between the quality ones and the rubbish ones? They are all round and all black.

 

There are a couple of guys in SA that buy these rims and add their own branding to it. I would pay the premium and get one of these. Hopefully, they would have done their homework and are sourcing from the better quality suppliers. Also, you have warranty support on your doorstep.

 

If you still want to buy from China, read up on what the other guys are doing and where they have bought from.

 

Personally, I don't trust any no-name brand wheels, bars or stems. That's just me, I don't want to risk personal injury. Others are happy and others have had no problems.
