    Anybody know of anything dodgy about this company?. Have hear of them before, serious cheap carbon gear especially the wheels. Hope to get new carbon wheels for racing next year.

    Hong Fu are one of the most reputable carbon manufacturers /resellers.
    There was a guy (on ww afair) who ran a semi pro team who mainly in the US who bought a stck of rims (he laced them himself) and had up until recently had no issues with them.

    anymore news on this topic lads, done a bit of research of my own and they seem like they are a very good buy. I was looking at the 90mm clincher rims for tt'ing and the odd pan flat race, anybody make a purchase?

    I bought a 60mm carbon(full) clincher almost a year ago. Raced on it all summer, no complaints.
