Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / MICHE Kleos 36 RIM
« on: April 22, 2025, 11:24:03 PM »
Dear All,

The local shop from my area just makes me surprise again with the Miche Kleos rim. The rims are for the quite new wheelsets which are advertised Italian made ... Well at least the rims are made in Taiwan. https://www.miche.it/en/products/wheels/road/kleos-36
The wheelset is quite pricy on bike24 https://www.bike24.com/p2834865.html

Cost of 2 rim is $135 USD

I have looked at the wheelset and it is clear the the RIM holes are drilled for Miche specific hub. The lacing pattern is 2:1 with 24 spokes/holes in total/rim but 8 on the non ride side (rear) or non disc side (front).  A bit spoke alignment issue when using the standard 24 holes hubs I believe.

Will you consider buy them?

Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes, at first I thought it might not pass the QC
However, it just bugs me that Giant finished all the steps of their whole process including all the decals, QR code, serial number ... even the sticker to state which side is for disc side .... AND says it is not pass the QC!

Thanks all for your feedback. However, it seems to me that no one seems to have experience on this. I posted here some more images for more information. The seller has hubs, spokes to build the whole wheelset as well.

I come up with these rims from a locale shop. Perhaps, someone in this forum has experience on this matter. The shop said that these rims are the overstock/left over stock from the factory (Giant factory in Taiwan)!
I had a chance to see the rims myself. The serial number inside and between the rim walls scratched/removed. The rims appeared to be new/has not installed but there are scratches outside ...
I'm very interested in the rim because I have a Giant SLR1 42 rear wheel which was carbon repaired and caused rotating imbalance. I hope I can rebuilt the wheel with a new rim.

My questions are
- If these are the original ones from Giant?
- Any issue with these rims. I saw that they have all the stickers, QR codes. If there do not pass the QC, they should not have all information on ...

Thank you

Hi Friends,

I recently bought a used carbon Java frame. More information about it can be found https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/JAVA-FUOCO-Full-Carbon-Fiber-Frame_1600366361041.html
Since I had a tantansports frame before I knew that tantansports once made Java frame. I don't know if this still the case but from the Alibaba it says that the company is manufacturer...

It seems to me that it is quite popular in Indonesia and other southeast Asia countries. It also has UCI certificates. Wondering if anyone has more information about Java bikes?
