Title: Super cheap Chinese carbon fiber wheelset (< $200). Anyone?
Post by: lidation on September 12, 2025, 02:30:22 PM
I just found out a brand Rujixu (why all the funky names  :-X) on Aliexpress selling a full set of carbon fiber wheels for $160 - $170. 
Here is an example. Anybody tried this?

99% sure the rims are alloy and the hubs have some carbon.  It can’t find where it says carbon wheels.

oh, thank you for pointing this out. Yeah, the title says carbon fiber but inside their description doesn't mention carbon fiber. Oh well, when something is too good to be true it most probably is. lol
