chinese carbon wheels???

Only if youre a wrongun and you fit the bill

Oh dont say that. I cant be dealing with changing tires over rims at 5am ffs. Lol

I have a pair of Farsports wheels with Ed hub. Now I have to change the freewheel hub as there is too much resistance. Have tried to clean it but made no difference. To replace the freewheel hub I have to buy a new one from Farsports and this means 25$ in shipping and handling. As I understand the freewheel hub can only be replaced with an Ed freewheel hub, there are nothing else compatible.
Or do anyone have any other suggestions?

Re: Chinese Carbon Clinchers from diy-bike: After <2 months and 1500km (115psimax, 75kg rider) both front and rear rims cracked down the centre - wheels purchased from diy-bike of eBay. diy-bike offers a warranty - but return shipping is excessive (More than the cost of the wheels). Multitude of emails back & forth - photos, denials, videos - diy acknowledged the failure- but refused to honour their warranty, leaving them with full profit and me with expensive garbage. AVOID diy-bike of Shenzen/Guangdong/China eBayseller.
