Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion Ordered a pair of 65mm wheels for a future aero build. 26mm internal width look interesting. One of the few I've seen offered in 50 and 65mm depth. Peter offerd a "paint-less" finish which I didn't know was a thing. Anyone has any experience?

Very interested in hearing more about this. How are you having the wheels built? What tires are you going to use?
I went for their own in-house hubs and pillar 1420 spokes. According to Peter they should come up at around 1520g which is not the lightest but considering the price, depth, and width of the rims, I think it's excellent.
I'm planning to use 30c tires which will probably end up much wider

Re: Super wide aero rims like ZIPP 303 XPLRs?

I think manufacturers need to start looking at external and internal rim width independent from each other. The super wide Rovals are the only rims that really seem to do that.

Agree completely, I try to preach this, but seem to be mostly ignored on forums. For some reason people are obsessed with internal width, as if you can't run bigger tyres on narrower internal rims.

It's a big boon in all aspects of aero performance, and gives you more freedom in tyre choice. Western companies do seem to be aware of this, though to varying degrees. Obviously roval as you said, hunt went in a very similar direction and the new newmen rims aren't quite on the same level but still a decent bit of difference. I'm really curious for any new swiss side rim designs. Their current ones are ancient.

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion Thank you guys for your suggestions. Why I didn't want to list pricing here when I created this thread there are quite a few some other Chinese companies posting and viewing every day here on this public forum. And people are looking for different options.

I modified my 1st post with price range just now. However we don't sell anything on Aliexpress, we don't think it is worthy of time to explain quality or price difference between our products and theirs, for example, many guys mistake our company for CSC(Carbon Speed Cycle), that causes we need to say full company name to others every time,  and some sellers on Aliexpress they are just resellers without bottom line and they don't keep their words to offer after-sale service but they would decrease their pricing again and again to sell items. I am not saying all sellers or stuff on Aliexpress are not good, just saying that we don't want to sell products there. As manufacturer we attend to the bicycle fair like Interbike or Eurobike show so we got numbers of OEM clients to cooperate with, some of them are name brands. Our pricing varies depending on many factors and is constantly evolving, but QUALITY and SERVICE are the most important as always , old members here know our company very well, and we offer wheelsets at almost price points. We can provide an indicative quote very quickly via WhatsApp or email, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you guys.

I'm intereset in the 33mm wide rims.

Does anybody know how a 30mm GP5000 will sit with these 26mm inner width rims? Will it be around 33mm?

I just received my wheels, and put gp 5000 s tr 30 on them, and they sit really in line with the rim.
I can provide measurements and pic tonight(~8h)

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion I recently came across this post when searching for some gravel wheels and decided to email Peter. Gave him an idea of what I wanted and he emailed me back within a few days with some different options for a custom build. Went with the 40mm deep 26mm inner and 34mm outer, model no. CS-D40CU-33 built with house hubs (ratchet style), 24 Sapim cx-ray spokes and Shimano freehub. Went with no holes in the rim bed for easy tubeless setup and was looking for a sub 1400 gram wheelset. Within about 10 days I received pics of the hoops along with their weight, and within 14 days received pics of the final build along with actual weight of 1349 grams. Received the wheels about 2 weeks later so about a month from the initial order being placed. Setup went easy and I really put them through hell last week on a gravel ride in Vermont and they're still spinning true. Very happy with the purchase and communication from Peter throughout the process. Highly recommended.

I'm curious to know if there is more feedback on how this frame rides. I'm also curious if anyone has more details on tire clearance. Where the tightest spots are, and what size tires people are fitting? Is this a 6mm of clearance with 32mm tires or a 4mm of clearance situation?

I ordered this frame recently and hopefully will receive it mid November. 
My plan is to fit 30mm tires on 26mm internal width rims so will probably end up around 33-34mm. Hopefully they'll fit. I'll report back once I give it a try

Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion Just received pictures of my wheelset from Peter. Turned out lighter than expected. Paintless finish looks sick

Did you consider carbon spokes for these wheels?

Also, does anyone know how the aerodynamics are affected by conventional steel, or carbon spokes? Bladed in either case, of course, and I realise there are a lot of different carbon spokes.

I didn't. There's no benefit for me from going with carbon spokes. Maybe a few grams here and there but steel spoke wheels are much easier to service. I can replace the spokes or hubs at any time without any problems. If I break a carbon spoke I have to order it from China. Carbon spokes require a different hub as well, which I doubt you can source easily.
