Re: Velobuild VB-R-177

I wrote Velobuild highlighting this issue with the VBR177, they answered "drill it". I knew they lacked quality controls, but still...

Re: High end big brand OEM road rims 38/45/50mm on sale!!!

Hi Peter,

You mentioned that the rim is 125 USD/piece. And the R5026TL disc brake rims 24/24H built with carbon spokes, high end 36T rachets straight pull hubs, 1315g/pair, 2 years warranty, sale price- 625 USD/pair

So that's almost US$375 if we take US$625 mins US$250 (for rim). Trying to figure out where the cost goes to.  There is no detail on the hub but the mention of 36T rachets suggest it's a DTSwiss clones, could you provide more details so that we can see the value of the product.

Example - Carbon type , Hub Type and brand, Bearing type, brands, size. Spokes brand, details .  Could you provide close up photos of nipples, rim, spokes, etc.

I recently ordered a pair of Carbon wheelset (6 pawls) from Kung for US$220/= , excluding shipping. I'm sure yours are of better quality but I would appreciate if you could provide details.

Do you have additional discounts for members here ?
The hubs are customized from Taiwan hub factory, I am not so familiar with hubs design, they are 36T rachets however. If you want to order wheels with original brands hubs, like I said, we do have many options.

The more important points are carbon spokes and high end quality rims, carbon spokes cost more than 5 USD/piece, so you can tell where the money goes.

BTW, the prices I mentioned, they are particularly for the members here, I talked to the forum founder on this, we even don't list these on sales onto our website.

If you are not new to this forum, old members here know we just offer quality products and good service after sale. Thank you so much.

Re: Brake Cables for Hybrid Disc brakes for internal routing im currently running jagwire sport inner cables and i was previously using jagwire pro. cant feel any difference in stopping power and the weight difference is negligable. Im also running ables fully internally with an intergrated stem and juin tech brakes. i havent tried the jagwire elite cables but i cant imagine they would be that much better.. i would personally recommend jagwire sport if you want decent performance and to keep costs low

as for housing, i was also previously using KEB-SL compressionless housing and i recently switched to legion SP housing. the price was almost the same and the i also cant really feel much difference in stopping power. maybe the legion SP is slightly better? or it might just be my imagination... lol. but the legion SP is lighter for both brake cables and gear cables. i think i saved about 30-40g?

i also used to use coated inner cables on another bike a long time ago but i found that the coating rubs off and gets stuck in the housing which increases resistance. i read online that other people have had similar experiences so i have decided to stay away from those

Re: High end big brand OEM road rims 38/45/50mm on sale!!! Or can you ask the hub supplier for a technical drawing of the hub? Normally hub suppliers will provide that info and we can see the bearings for it

Juin tech is overpriced but there are a couple of other hybrid disc brakes or cable actuated disc brakes avialable at better prices.

Yes, but Juin tech GT-F1 is the only one 4 pistons…

Re: Elite Wheels / Aliexpress / Trace Velo

Sorry to read that you got a bad eperience with Ali express and shipping of your goods.

I think trace velo got sponsored for the review of the elitewheels drive 50, as he got them for free, and also got a promo code for people to get a discount.

You can check on this forum, with Peter for some wheels.

My experience with Peter was very underwhelming. Doesn't really like answering questions or want you to see the product before you agree to purchasing. He completely ghosted me after a while. But just like any seller we talk about on here, YMMV.
I went with Farsports instead.
