Title: Carbon rims from eBay
Post by: ChrisCarbon on March 03, 2017, 02:19:58 PM

So Im kinda tempted to buy some Carbon rims from eBay.

I know the safest way would be just to buy from Peter, but the rims on eBay are so cheap, if they fail, I don't even think I care..

Anyone tried any carbon rims from eBay?
Any sellers you can recommend? Or avoid?

Nextie has an eBay store with some rims listed under $150 with free shipping. That may be slightly cheaper on eBay but I'm not sure it would save enough money to warrant the risk. I'm all for trying the cheap options but not for a $20 savings.

Nextie - havent heard about them. They make decent stuff?

Will check out the store, I think 300$ is cheap enough to give it a try!

Thx!

Since this is in the 29er section, I'm assuming you are looking for 29" rims. This will be my 4th season on my Nextie's. They have been great with no issues whatsoever. I also have 2 sets from Peter that have been perfect too.
