Re: Elite Wheels ENT vs Elite Wheels SLT vs Velobuild VB-RC I am in Canada as well
I went with Elite wheels (BWT Series)

Reason is simple.  Maybe VB wheels are good, maybe not but Elite is a dedicated wheel and hub manufacturer.
Also Elitewheels has a better selection of hubs (not the ENT), as well as lightweight spoke options.

If you are price conscious, get the wheels direct from Xiamen YuanAn Conposites on Alibaba
This is the name of the company that owns the Elite Wheels brand

I paid $715 CAD for the BWT wheel set with the Pillar 1420 upgrade, and RD13 hubs
This price includes shipping, but not duties, which you will likely get dinged with.
Compare to the price of the same wheels from the Elite site before shipping:

Elite also has an AliX store which is a bit cheaper than their retail site

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 I don't want to get too excited, but today Katie told me that my painted frame will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. I'm expecting it to take longer than that.

Ordered August 8th, size M. Katie sent me pictures of the painted frame:

That's a really good color. Matte olive? Can I know what parts you'll be putting on it?

I waited 10 days for the production and then shipping ended up being by DHL to Montreal so I received my wheels in less then 3 weeks,

Wow that's great to know! I'm in Quebec also, hopefully the same happens to me.

Thanks

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 I'm going to be glad I've decided to go with SRAM AXS, I can tell. It's also going to be easier when the brake lines are all I have to get through the bar, stem, headset, and head tube.

That’s great. I’m in Ontario. Did you order through their website or aliexpress? They messaged me to extend shipping time on aliexpress so they can manufacture.

I ordered using Aliexpress. They messaged me the same thing and I extended my order. They sent me a shipping confirmation a few days ago.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 Just received my shipment after being given a tracking number on Tuesday. The box looks in good condition and I can't wait to open it once I'm off work.
