Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion
« on: June 14, 2025, 03:57:39 PM »
Has anyone from the USA ordered a set of wheels post new world tariff? Wanted to buy a set but it was too close to the de minimis cut off date. Has anyone been charged extra fees once the wheels get stateside?

I second the vote for Onirii silicone bar tape.  Excellent product but heavy - nearly twice the weight of faux supercaz.

Thanks for the recommendation! Best value tape I've purchased so far. Amazing stretch, great tacky feeling 10/10 worth the $20

Want to start a thread on this bars because they're really unique and interesting. Feel free to post your experiences if you bought em. Surprising they don't have a name yet.

Oh wow. Didn't even know that was a thing. Can't seem to find it on Ali though.

Looks to be really close to the 696 geo. I'm debating whether to pull the trigger.

Do they still sell the FE03? In the past they named with that the carbonda 696 mold.


yes they do.

I read one user complain about flex. Any other issues with the frame I should be aware of?

That is not a 696

Edit: To elaborate, it is visually different (the notch at the front of the top tube, the tire cutout in the downtube), and the geometry charts do not match. To my knowledge Flyxii has no connection to Carbonda or FlyBike, and nothing in their frame offerings looks like a Carbonda frame. Their frame lineup appears to be old stock, nothing has modern geometry or features. Given their products and pricing I wouldn't have high expectations, but that doesn't mean its necessarily bad.

this is why i come to chinertown. thank you so much.

Have you bought a 696 from Flyxii on Aliexpress? How was the experience? Frame delivered okay? Order process went smoothly?

Most people I've seen online have purchased through Carbonda for the custom paint option but I feel like the price on Aliexpress for $400 is too good to pass up.
