Carbon Wheels Group Buy

As many of you know, a good amount of bicycle manufacturing happens in China, including rims. Many large wheel manufacturers typically outsource most of their rims to be produced in China. They end up putting the wheel together domestically.

50mm Carbon Clincher

A friend of mine have done extensive research and decided to order a pair from a manufacturer in China, who hand built the wheel for us. I know this sounds scary, since receiving the wheel, he has put more than 3,000 miles on it and done several Cat 3 races. I can say this without a doubt that these wheels are comparable to anything in the market. They also offer one year warranty, and the seller is very cooperative and willing to work with the clients.

We are working with the same manufacturer right now and we would both like to buy wheels. If we buy more than 20 wheels, we are getting a special price from him. The following is the list. If we can generate enough interests, I will get ahead and do the order and mange all of the responsibilities.
