Hi I just got to test out these clincher rims BladeX 450G , It has some serious safety issue . The Basalt coating caused the brake to be jammed under friction, causing my bike to lost control . I am using the brake pad provided from the manufacturer.
Here is a video on it : http://www.mediafire.com/watch/y0496g1o78ddgac/20140215_162716.mp4.
Also , I have brought my bike to the shop and swapped brake pads and brake caliper , problem still persisted. The owner is kind enough to to let me try out a zipp 404 carbon clincher and true enough it is the basalt coating problem as the zipp 404 works perfect ! even with the brake pad provided .
Anyone has any experience on this ? I am thinking to get a full refund. I almost crashed head-on to a car because of this.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Wow, No did about 1000 miles on the BladeX 450C last summer and no issues at all, if you contact them from what I've seen on their facebook account the after service is pretty good.
