Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you had any experience buying rims off of AliX, I've been looking at this recently;

Says they're winding the rims with T1000 which is quite a lot stiffer than other manufacturers advertise..

I would not buy from a seller with such a bad score...

I have a bad news. Some things you read on the internet may not be true  ;)

With that feedback score, I wouldn't bother. It's your money though if you want to chance it.

Going with the lowest possible price from a seller with bad feedback score and poor reviews probably won't end well.

I have had good success purchasing rims and/or wheels from CLANNAD, EliteWheels and Ryet.  Nothing I have purchased from any of these stores has failed yet...

I ordered the 30x30 rims on "CARBON-BIKE Store" on 2/11/2022... Still waiting for them to arrive... They were just over 100 eur a piece with the discounts.

I'm sorry to not reply for so long but I just saw your question. They did show up after exactly one month. They look great and they are easy to build a wheelset with. I have put tires on them, but have yet to ride them. But I am expecting no problems...
The price has gone up a lot since I ordered though...  >:(

Have you heard good things about CLANNAD in general? I'm thinking about buying a 50mm depth, 28mm wide (prefer) or 25mm wheelset. Been looking for carbon rims with weave that looks like Winspace hyper or something similar. Also want dt 350 hubs. They seem to have them (50mm/25mm) for $880cad, I may spend a bit more for cx ray spokes but haven't decided that yet.
