chinese carbon wheels go bang

[ALawson]

Apparently Zuus have two new wheel sets out in May, £700 and £900.

He said one will be a single carbon jobbie at less than 1kg for the wheel set. Cannot confirm specs of those even though they have been ordered via cycle show in Taiwan.

Have a look at the CERO RC45 via Cycle Division i've had a pair that were recommended by peeps on here.

Value for money, light and very responsive :-D

The chap running Zuus has emailed me a few times, apparently the hubs are closed mould (exclusive to Zuus) made by powerway.,

They must have changed from Novatec recently in that case ...

Hence why you don't buy these things, it is just NOT worth the risk especially at the moment, with eveything being squeezed for cheaper more cost efficient results.

And here we are, six months later, and the OP is using the same rim. Not a fan of open mold Chinese stuff Dizeee?

I've put over 7,000 miles on my carbonspeedcycle clinchers in 13 months with no problems at all. Including several spotted-too-late nighttime urban potholes. No spoke adjustments so far - the rims still spin true within 0.5mm. To be fair, they were sold as cyclocross clinchers (24 spoke front and rear) so are slightly stronger than rim-brake clinchers, but I needed disc-compatible wheels and this was all they offered. Novatec hubs still seem fine. Price was c. £320 + the unavoidable customs duty.

Previously I ran rim-braked Ican carbon clinchers for a few months, until that bike was stolen. Those were very light but also held up well in their short life.

I thought Dizeee has a set of carbon wheels from wheelsmith?

Cero look a bit narrow but then again that probably a benefit. They are only £50 cheaper than Malcolm so I would probably stick with him.

Don't forget his Ribble, sorry, De Rosa...

Yep, over on BR he was worried they were wearing out and needed replacing after 2 years light use.

I've bought from chinese speed cycle in the past and have been please with my rims. No issues yet - 60mm clinchers with alloy tracks.
