grumpy Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Why does it bother you how the brand is spelled? We are not talking about high end quality here Alex rims are cheap anyway, so what if it is a fake / copy, it may just be better
AdrianDJ Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 yes out the box.... im not a roadie, bought this for some training and to do the odd road race... Im not too bothered about it - just wanted to clarify.
andrewc Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Noticed that on some of the new Merida's down here (Durbs) too. The prot thickens...

We are not talking about high end quality here Alex rims are cheap anyway, so what if it is a fake / copy, it may just be better Or it may just be worse you should get what you pay for. Or the decal had a misprint, went unnoticed by the QA test or they said not worth recall the wheels over a missing 'r'
Minion Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Aside from the missing R the rims and their decals look exactly like the ones on the Merida site. I would say they're just a misprint that slipped through QA.
AdrianDJ Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 correct - apart from the illusive R the rims look exactly the same. and the hubs r definately shimano 105
CharlV Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Guys Observation: Merida Scultura evo 904 comes with shimano 105 hubs and Alexrims (according to the website and the picture of the bike on the website clearly shows the rim with the spelling Alexrims) However if uv recently bought this bike - have a look at the rim - AlexRims is spelled Alexims..... (yes without the R) Anybody know why? Cane Rat Now that you mention it I noticed the same mistake on a set fixed to a Merida 2011 903 model I saw in Rustenburg at Cycle Zone ........................MMMMM what have we here?My 906 has a set I took of a new 2010 905 model,(Alexrims)I'll speak to my LBS ,see if i can find out more.,...
AdrianDJ Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks guys - please let me know if u find out whats up
Abd7 Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Lol thats a bad quickfix...black sticker on the white rim :/ I'd rather have alexims
Reg Lizard Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Maybe its like Markhams which is now Markham
Mastazee Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Maybe its like Markhams which is now Markham Might be but there site still says Alexrims as their brand name.
AdrianDJ Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Anybody found out more about this? or seen any others?
