Agree, no reason to buy an unproven 1700gram chinese carbon wheelset....plenty of better alu options that weigh less (wtb, stans, mavic, Easton, etc). I have the light bicycles carbon 29er wheels, Easton carbon 29er, and carbon roval 29er wheels...all under 1500grams and known to be good.

Hi, I just wanted to warn against purchasing from Yishun:

I have been dealing with Yishun for a two years now. And everything went fine until my last batch of wheels where there where several quality problems. I emailed Yishun about these issues and in the beginning they asked for photos, so I emailed photos and even a video.
After that I have heard nothing. Absolutely nothing. Its been a month now, and now I would just share my experience with Yishun.
DON'T SUPPORT THIS COMPANY WHO CLAIM TO GIVE 1 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT IGNORE YOU IF YOU EVER WANT TO MAKE USE OF THAT WARRANTY!

Care to elaborate? Why is cheap, low quality carbon better for athletics?

This topic looks like a promotion.
