A friend has been looking at getting some new wheels and asked me about this site

Www.carbonwheelsets.com

Personally I have never heard of them before. Has anyone here bought from them and what is the quality like? Cannot say I am a fan of buying Chinese parts like this but I would like an answer for the guy.

Cheers

    If you are going to do this sort of thing then at least stick with one of the bigger and better known Chinese suppliers.
    Farsports, Hongfu, Miracle Bike spring to mind.

    Cheers. This is the reason I prefer to stay away and pay premium for peace of mind.

    Heavy with an alu brake track unless you want/can tolerate tubs. For this reason I went with Farsports; £400 for a 1300g 23mm wide full carbon wheelset.
