[SR7492]

Team PH

Anyone bought deep rim CC from eBay sellers out of China? if so had a good experience and set of wheels can you recommend the seller?

Looking for 50mm clinchers for my CAAD10 as the first real upgrade (I have 105 Groupset)

Anything to look out for?

Assuming I put them on myself or take the box to the LBS to fit, yeh?

Thanks in advance!

Awesome - thank you all; will take a deep dive into all the sellers that have been recommended.

Q?

What is the difference between 23mm and 27mm wide clincher from a riding point?

Better to stick to 23mm?

Right then, after the wisdom advice and pointers by you lot; the choice is between the main 2 suppliers: Far Sport and 2011Cycling2011.

I'm looking at the below from Far Sport:

Compared to the below from 2011Cycling2011:

What's the difference?
The Far Sport ones are more expensive with BitEx Hub($519 total inc shipping) but they say their Carbon wheel is light @ 1555g compared to the 1680g from 2C2!

The 2C2 price comes in at $430 all in including the shipping on a Novatec hub; so that is about 255 compared to 306.

What do you reckon guys; which one would you go for?

PS I emailed Far Sport and got same day response back on every communication I sent, so their CS seems pretty good.

Very nice!

Was the duty on top of the shipping charge you paid 2C2?

Thanks - I'm already regretting the cockpit change (this was done in April)

I got the wrong bar tape, should have gone for the silicon/rubber white instead of normal white (doh)

Oh well, its on the 'what's next list' :-)
