DFS Carbon Wheels & Carbon Crank Ti 24mm Spindle Purchase
« on: March 20, 2025, 11:36:16 AM »
Looking into DFS Carbon wheels, and and crank and have Purchased

Ok below for anyone who is interested

I have not gone with XM Carbonspeed for my wheels and I have ordered my wheels and a Carbon Crank set from DFS Carbon (Xiamen Tu Wang Trading Co., Ltd)
Lots of back and forth on this last couple of weeks and what I have ordered is:

60mm Front  450g +/-15g
65mm Rear   460g +/- 15g
Outer Width 32.4mm
Inner Width 25mm
T1000 Carbon
UD Paint less Finish
5mm Flat Carbon Spokes 2.9g
H-Works Hub 20/20H 36T Ratchet 276grams for the set
100kg max weight

1300g +/- 30g
Have asked looking at weights if they can hit sub 1300g so 1280/1290g would be nice which is the same as my CRW 50/60S

Carbon Crank 165mm UD Gloss 24mm T1 Axle and aluminium spider. XM Carbon and CBK selling so likely all the same as this type is now fairly generic

All in delivery Taxes $1205usd

Moved my comment to this thread instead of the carbon bike kits one.

I put a rather detailed writeup on my wheels over on weight weenies: https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=177489.

Rundown. I went with the middle of the road r3 hubs and CXray supers. The real weight was 1266g. If you went with RX hubs and t1000 layups I would expect you to be in the 1180g-ish range? But your rotors and CL rings, even lighter ones would add back in 30g.

If i were to buy today, I am not sure I would change the spec as you seem to lose quite a but of durability with the t1000 layup, and the price difference between the r3 and rx was $400 or so; the result price is still a relatively good value, but it is a steep premium given you save just over 10g of system weight (but gain center lock compatibility)

I mean, only place you can find them is alibaba, makes sense there wouldn't be much about them in the west. Also, pretty sure it's the same crank as what CarbonBikeKits sell.
