Slick looking build!!
And that fork and headtube are clean. Much better than the shady looking Lexon in that other thread.

Wheels arrived today! Overall good shopping experience with BTLOS. Fast communication, but slow delivery. That’s typical with all the Covid shutdowns, so can’t fault them for that.
Wheels came pretty lightly packed, but they seem fine. Only visible blemishes are some not so round spoke holes on the rim bed. Don’t think that matters much at all.

These will be going on my 2020 Cannondale Habit.

Edit: sorry I have no idea how to rotate the pics. Not sure why they uploaded upside down.

If you have a few tools, you can try making one.

Were you able to get a refund or settle things with vendor?

381
Those look pretty flimsy. Surprised they lasted that long. Hope this didn't cause a crash.

AMEX says it is expected to be resolved today, but who knows...

Here is the original photos with the original fork:

I think he's asking if the bearings fit properly on the second fork they sent you. The one with the incorrect paint job. Or did you need a different bearing?

383
Yeah, thats pretty bad.
I wonder now what the insides of the frames looked like for others. Are these really a drop in quality, or have they all looked like this?

I don't think aliexpress clipless pedals are worth savings when compared to lower end shimano, wellgo, or exustar (amongst others).
Some may be fine, some will be trash.

Just got a working tracking number with expected delivery time of 8-20 days...or possibly longer due to Covid lockdown.

Was curious and decided to build up a set.  Their site was very user friendly for choosing options to build your wheelset.

More than a month since my order was confirmed and still not shipped. News doesn't look good. I'm sure they're doing the best they can in their rough circumstances, but be prepared for a wait.

hello,

any link to buy the wheels?

https://btlos.com/

Still haven’t got a tracking number. Hadn’t realized the level of lockdown China is under right now due to a new spike of Covid. Shipping will be slow.

So I was offered a $30 refund to keep the fork, but the more I thought about it, the more I was upset with the customer service. No news on my end from 3/22 about a replacement, so I finalized my dispute with American Express. Hopefully I at least get my money back.

Sadly between DIYCarbonBikes and this Lexon vendor, I've really had bad luck with everyone except Peter at XMIPlay. Lets hope that my Velobuild is a little smoother, that shipped out today!

Sorry to hear about this. I just read up on your DIYcarbonbikes experience. I almost bought some wheels from there. Glad I didn't! I had a good experience with velobuild. Hoping you do too.
