Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Speeder wheels
« on: October 11, 2023, 10:38:58 AM »
Hi!

I'm planning on buying the Speeder SC-R52D for a new build (https://www.speedercycling.com/Carbon-Road-Disc-Frameset-SC-R52D-_p412.html). Eventually I'm going to want to buy a pair of carbon wheels for the bike (only have rim-brake bikes atm) so thought I'd ask Speeder about their wheels and save on shipping. I'm looking for all-round wheels, around 40-45mm deep. Don't need carbon spokes, I'd rather they be a bit more serviceable. Got the following quote from speeder:
Quote
SC-28WHD45TL-SLP: US$870/set
SC-28WHD45TL: US$850/set

Built with EXP DT240 hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
Links to the wheels: https://www.speedercycling.com/28mm-Wide-45mm-Super-Light-Pattern-Carbon-Road-Disc-Tubeless-Clincher-Wheelset-SC-28WHD45TL-SLP-_p384.html and https://www.speedercycling.com/28mm-Wide-45mm-Filament-Wound-Carbon-Road-Disc-Tubeless-Clincher-Wheelset-SC-28WHD45TL-_p328.html

Does anyone have experiences with Speeder wheels? And are these good prices? Should I be looking at some other brand? E.g.

Any comments appreciated!

Fwiw, also asked about https://www.speedercycling.com/21mm-Internal-Wide-Carbon-Road-Disc-Asym-Hooked-Wheelset_p391.html

45mm rims + DT350 hubs + Sapim CX-Ray spokes: US$690/set

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Customs / VAT Europe

Hi, I'm considering ordering a frame from Speeder (SC-R52D). I got quoted $954 for the whole thing (although the quote was for the wrong frame, SC-R49D) and wondering about how much I need to add for Customs/VAT. I'm in Finland and I assume things are a bit different depending on the country but at least some more general questions:
  • When ordering to other Finland or other European I assume you more or less always have to pay customs?
  • Do you pay customs on the full price of the frame? Or does the seller mark some lower price on the package?
  • Other experiences around this. Things to do to minimize the amount of hassle / the amount you need to pay :)

Hey, new to the forum, been lurking for a while and planning to do a build. However, am a bit overwhelmed with all the alternatives out there.

I'm looking for an all-around bike with a racy geometry. Something similar to e.g.

I've looked at some of the frames from Yishun (R1058-D/R068-D), Lightcarbon (LCR0X-D), and Carbonda (CFR 1056). What do you recommend? Any other manufacturers I should be looking at?
