I also purchased a set of these wheels from the Ryet store on Aliexpress.  When i first received them I did an unboxing video on Youtube.  I should point out that I was impressed by the customer service, the shipping and I genuinly liked the wheels.  The 36T rachet offered great engagement.  When I originally bought the wheels I was running Shimano.  I upgraded to the SRAM Transmission and bought a new XD freehub very seamlessly from the Ryet store.  Again great customer service.

Now lets fast forward.  They are a little over a year old and up till last Friday I haven't had an issue and the wheels are true after 1 1/2 seasons of riding regularly. Probably close to 1000 km's on them.  Please note that I am 200 lb's and ride in an area that is a lot of jagged rocks and root.

On Friday as I was going up a rock face I stood up to add power and the freehub spun on the hub making a grinding noise.  when I tried to ride afterwards the freehub spun on the hub when any power was added.  I  took the freehub apart and cleaned it / reassembled it.  Same issue.  I'm put the Shimano freehub / cassette on and same issure.

I think that the teeth that the ratchet binds to in the hub are worn doown and have failed.

So here is the good part!!!!  I contacted the Ryet store.  They told me the Hub has a one year warrant and all i have to pay is shipping.  Well shipping is $49 US.  I scoffed at that and was told that it is only 1 year and I am past 1 year. I now looked through the listing and they have this posted. 

Features:

Tubeless Ready

2-Years Warranty

Ratchet 36T Hub

Pillar Spokes and Nipples

I ordered the new hub as I wanted it shipped ASAP but have now complained that there is a 2 year warranty.  Ryet told me the rims are a2 year warranty. The Hub, freehub and spokes all have a 1 year warranty as they are considered consumable.

Would I buy these wheels again. NO.  I would buy a carbon wheel off of Ali in a heartbeat from Ryet or anyone else but I would lace them to a decent hub,  I think the new hub will fail on me sometime in the not too distant future....

How does the Tideace FM-XC191 stack up to the bikes mentioned in this thread?  I see that the seller has a great promotion on it right now.

All,

My current Mountain Bike is a early 2000's hardtail Devinci. I've been mostly road and gravel riding the past few years. I'm now looking to build a new full suspension XC bike. Looking for max 120 mm travel front and back. Something light enough to do a couple of xc races or 8 hour races with.

I keep hearing the term new geometry. I understand how bike have evolved but not sure I am up on all the nuances with XC mountain bike geometry.

Can someone explain which bikes on Aliexpress have new geometry?

I was thinking of the following bikes. The Lexon Riot 10 , The Trifox MFM 100 or the Carbonda FM 936.

Looking forward to some feedback.

Thanks  Mark

Other than a few grams what the difference between the light and super light frame?

I'm 5'9" and 200 lb's. I don't care if the super light frame is 200 grams lighter if it isn't as strong.

Pardon if this question had been asked before. I did query to see if it was answered and didn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for any answer....
