Title: Anyone bought wheels or rims from Speedsafe or A-One bicycle co?

Experiences? They have some cheap light 29 an 27.5 rims that seem to be on par with specs from Farsports or Light Bicycle.

Thanks

I have bought wheels and multiple rims from Speedsafe.  Everything weighed exactly what they said it weighed.  Wheels were tensioned and trued excellently--no complaints there.  Rims are very high quality, handle a beating.  Customer service is excellent, fast, responsive.  I have never had to file a warranty so I don't know how that would work, but ordering through Aliexpress is pretty hassle-free.  Shipping time is a bit slower than generic parts, but given that it's a large package and not sent by EMS I wouldn't gripe about that.

Speedsafe seems to know the market, they even pre-build wheels with HyperBoost hubs.  Not a lot of people also worry as much about weight as they do. You can get wheelsets built with Pillar X-tra Aero spokes, ultralight T800 carbon 29er rims, and DT Swiss 240 hubs for cheaper than it would cost to just get the parts at dealer pricing and build it yourself.

I bought 3 hoops from Speedsafe. 28hole assymetric 30mm deep and 28/32 hole xc marathon race set. Got them build up with Sapim D-light spokes and DT Swiss 240s hubs.  Wheelbuilder was very impress by quality, roundness and how perfectly flat they are... no wobbles. I have only used the 28/32 set for 3months and all good. No problems. We had to use a 3cross patern due no shorter spokes localy available.. all hoops was 365gr as advertised.

I like these guys.

I have purchased one set of xc wheels and another front wheel.
Early on in the year I broke a couple of spokes and they had me sorted really quickly.
