Sales & Classifieds / Re: Brand new 27.5er carbon fat bike rim 50mm width
« on: June 15, 2015, 05:34:33 AM »I totally agree with MTNRCKT - to buy a carbon part from a Chinese manufacturer I basically need to know 2 things:Useful words. What you said is most of us lack of. There is still a lot of work to do and a long way to go.
- Detailed specifications (geometry, what will fit to the frame and what not - what size chainrings forks and tires will fit in) - this is sometimes lacking and the website doesn't provide much.
- The quality, because my life will depend on it. I need to be sure if it's fine to go 40mph downhill and if the part will not break under braking.
This forum is great for answering both these questions from customers that pioneered and tried it. But the negative is that your sales will improve with delay after a new frame is community-tested. Because we don't know anything about the new frame and how it compares to the tested ones (manufacturing process, testing,..).
So it would help in general if:
- Specifications would be available in detail. Also I would like to know how one frame differs from another (stiffness, comfort, etc.) because usually manufacturers sell lot of models and it's hard to choose.
- The manufacturing process and the testing of the frames. It's not enough to only say T800 cabon (in better cases) and show some old testing report which no ones understands for a different part. It would be good to see the process itself.
I believe that seller offering better information will get better trust and more sales.
