FARSPORTS DISC CARBON WHEELSET Test & Review

[hannawald]

Kyle is already on email, but they haven't sent my order yet (which should have been sent before holidays). Told me today they will ship in 3-5 days.

It looks like there are some new rims with 28mm width. Profile looks good to me, I'm thinking to order a 58mmx28mm soon. I would like to know your thoughts about the rim shape, thanks.

emailed Sandy to find out about the Corona virus and its affect on orders.

she advised my order will be shipped in March due to goverment ban and workers not attending work because of it.

Hi all, situation here in China is pretty good. More than 20 provinces have 0 increase case in the past week, the coronavirus is under control. Our city has been keeping pretty safe, and production is getting back to normal soon after all workers are proved 100% safe to be back to work.
For some items like Kaze series, production lead-time is quite short as we keep some rims in stock. For some special items that have not rims in stock, we need to arrange new production which need about 20-25 days normally. Please just contact me sandy@farsports.cn for your detailed order information.

This model is pretty old, please consider the Kaze 58mmx28mm tubeless compatible model, here is the link https://www.wheelsfar.com/clincher/kaze ... -58mm.html

Anyone heard if Farsports has started shipping orders out again?

We already back to work on 17th of Feb, and are gradually arranging shipments for different orders. It's all safe here, and situation all through China is getting better.

Carbon-Ti centerlock hubs are available from farsports direct ? i don't see it on their online site.

Yes, it's available now. Just leave message that you need centerlock version when you buy from www.wheels.far.com

Does anybody know what is happening with Farsports? I ordered bars on 13. 1. I was assured that they will send it before Chinese holidays but that has not happened. Now they are silent and don't reply to any of my emails..

I thought the Spring festival is already over..there is no info on their webpage..

Are they talking with anybody right now?

Edit: so it seems all Chinese companies are closed at least to 10th Feb..

Hi, is your order shipped? If not, please let me know the invoice number.

[hannawald]

Yes, shipped last week. Thanks!

received my wheels
Feder series 35mm deep / 27 wide hookless with no spoke holes built with CX ray spokes and DT Swiss CLD 180 hubs

front was 545g and rear was 625g

I think only the 30mm width rims are hookless

Edit: 30mm Kaze rims are hookless, Feder 27mm are hookless

[robbosmans]

Did someone pay extra for the prepaid duty’s if so, did you have to pay any extra fees?

Do the max weight ratings for wheels include the bike? I am looking at the 25 or 30mm FSL model... they are rated for 95kgs for the rider; I weigh 90kg at my heaviest but hope to stay around 82-84kg long term; the bike I'm building should be under 6kg.

What tyres are you running on these?

When you do NOT have spoke holes, what is the difference? What does this feature offer? Hookless means that you MUST run them with inner tubes (NO tubeless compatibility?) Thank you.
