Anyone Heard of DFS Carbon Wheels? (Featuring THR Hubs)

[Sander2177]

Looking into DFS Carbon wheels, and I see they come with THR Industries RX hubs. The specs look solid—lightweight, good performance, and not too expensive. Has anyone used them? How’s the ride quality, durability, and overall value? Would love to hear some real-world feedback!

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)

Had a look and responded
Angler from DFS has sent me a load of info on email and will have to read up.

Nobody??

They also do carbon cranks sent me test data that outperforms Cybrei and Elilee and on par with new SRAM Red cranks.
Same standards DUB Aluminium 310g +\10g $245  24mm Ti 320g +\-10g $285
Based in Xiamen

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.

Well the information sent to me is there test information against  other manufacturers such as THM, Cybrei, Easton and Eliliee. And they claim to make them.
This crank design is now fairly generic now as everyone is selling them Bigrock, Lexington, XM Carbon speed and Lees.
 I’m assuming as everyone selling them someone has been passing round the design information as they all look the same and the weights are comparable
