Hi all,

Has anyone used these guys?:

They've very good prices for a few bits, and great reviews from buyers, but would hugely appreciate feedback from here.

Great prices for very light wheelsets! I bought a set of fulcrum Quattros a few weeks ago, if I had seen that seller I would have risked a set of carbon clinchers weighing 1490gr for €340 delivered. Now I know that chances are customs would look for another €70 in duties but I they'd still be cheaper than similar weight wheels available here. Maybe next time!

Buy through ebay and use PayPal and you should at least have insurance that if they do not arrive or are not as described the transaction will be refunded.

I just took a punt on a wheel set , integrated handlebars & seat post . Will let you know how it works out .
They seem OK to deal with , will just have to wait to feel the fiber of their fabric

Keep us posted, they seem to have great deals. Would like to know how you find the products, the delivery times and your customs experience.

My experience with china is post could take a couple of weeks .
Usually get what you pay for , although reviews of Chinese carbon are generally good .
At 95kg I will really be putting them under pressure ,

My new toys arrived , very well packaged and undamaged , no visable airbubbles or blemishes .
Took em for a spin , everything went fine and they didnt blow up or fall apart , even after hitting a couple of decent holes and bumps .
This is my first time riding non-stock wheels so I have nothing to compare to , but they are fast ! Feels like a different bike .
Cant say how much of an increase ave KPH as I was with a group , will need to do one of my regular solo routes to say for sure

Had seen the thread originally but missed your reply still happy with them? They appear to be very good value. Delivery seems to have been pretty quick too.

Was there a problem with customs

bog_savage

Yep still happy with em ,
Much faster , 8-10kph in top speed , 3kph average .
And accelerates much faster . I have never used anything other than stock wheels so cant compare to anything though .
As for speedcarbon11 , I have no complaints , fast delivery from china , no problem with customs , the gear was well protected in transit and arrived as advertised .
Would love to get my hands on €1000 Gucci wheels to compare .
