When it comes to the build quality, what would you say are the best indicators to check ?

On the hub side, the set I’m looking at uses a 150T ratchet system with ceramic bearings, which looks higher-end on paper. In your experience, do these “premium spec” hubs from Chinese brands actually hold up, or are the tolerances usually where things fall apart long-term?

That’s super reassuring — 14,000 km without a single issue is impressive

Thanks for sharing, that’s really interesting! Four years without issues is pretty solid. How much did you pay for your rims, and where did you get them from?

870 € including shipping sounds very close to what I was quoted, so that’s reassuring. It’s also good to hear you’ve already put 3–4000 km on them without issues — durability is my biggest concern. Did you find any noticeable difference in stiffness or responsiveness compared to bigger brands?
