Title: Is "Light-Carbon" the same as "Light Carbon" often talked about?
Post by: tbgallant on December 11, 2021, 11:20:25 AM

Looking to get some cheap carbon rims (rims only) from aliexpress.  Considering these for my gravel bike:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003336914324.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.73332e0egj77I1

Is "Light-Carbon" the same folks as the often talked about "Light Carbon" on this forum?  If it isn't, anybody have any experience with the above link supplier?

Thanks

Tim

Those are some really good prices on MTB rims. I can't speak to the gravel rim prices, I haven't shopped for those.

You might compare the products on that AliExpress page with LightCarbon's own website: https://www.lightcarbon.com/

I bought a set of gravel wheels from Lightcarbon the last October and I don't think they have a shop in Aliexpress.
The wheelset that I bought came with DT240 hubs so obviously were more expensive than the ones of that link but they gave me a quotation for different hub options and none of them were so cheap.
Saying that I don't mean that they are bad quality I mean that they are not coming from the lightcarbon factory.
