Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM

As I spoke to a seller on AliExpress, it's only one factory in China currently producing this frame. So will it be the same if I buy it from Taiwanesen.cc or bigger chance of better quality somewhere else?

That sounds very suspicious. There are clearly at least two different types of Factor frames in this thread. One EPS molded with very smooth inside and the other one which looks a bit more rugged inside (I think it was from taiwan factory bike parts Store). I am not saying one is worse/dangerous whatever, but I find the statement above hard to believe.

Is it btw worth to buy the wheelset these guys sell? Or should I just look for something else that's not a replica?

I would buy from a reputable source. Wheels are so commoditized, i dont think it makes much sense to buy from people who sell fakes. Unless ofc you really want the fake logos on your wheels. Xiamen carbon speed, far sports, Elite, Yuanan, the usual suspects.

Because the 21 carbon spoke hubs are heavy as shit
Really? Haha, 325g/pair on our 21/21H hubs, but still much lighter than DT Swiss hubs for carbon spokes, we don't use original DT Swiss hubs for carbon spokes, actually DT Swiss decided to make those hubs to supply to STREN who makes VONOA carbon spokes for many big brands, but firstly DT Swiss was too uncompromising on the price, secondly some brands don't want to use DT Swiss hubs for carbon spokes as well, so I believe you won't see current DT Swiss hubs for carbon spokes much longer.

Anyway, stable quality are most important, as I said when we released our 20/20H hubs for carbon spokes, we don't make them extremely light as some other companies do due to much higher spoke tension on carbon spokes. @Toxin, Have you seen anyone complaining about our 21/21H hubs except side entry so far? Maybe you are picky on weight of any part of bikes, but please don't say bad words on anything you haven't tried personally.
