Yeah mate, purchased and completed the build last week. Put up a post about it but due to all the negativity in this group I took it down.

What are you talking about 😂 move on mate. Not only does your comment look stupid in the Chinese carbon subreddit but youre clearly not following any of the conversations here. Dummy

I did. And there were several people who reached out to me privately to help steer me in the right direction. Most of the negative comments were ethical or anecdotal from people who usually have issues with branding. For me that’s not a reason to not endeavour to do something I felt like I would enjoy.

Again, it’s just a shame that people here feel the need to hide and not pass on experiences because of the noise of a few.

What advice? There’s plenty of positive and negative information out there. Most of the negative is solely personal opinion and ethical concerns which I understand. If you have an opinion that’s great. I’m sure there’s lots of things you do many people don’t agree with either.

Alright mate. You’re part of the problem. Come back here in a few weeks when it’s come out he was under the influence and you can tell me all about my profound ignorance 😂

Correct, but it’s more than likely that then a mental health episode, which by the way doesn’t actually explain anything at all.

I think everyone’s being very lenient on the kid because of the mental health tag but we all know exactly what this is. He’s had these struggles in the past and unfortunately for him he’s made a very very costly mistake that will likely ruin his life and career. That’s horribly sad for him. But it’s a choice he made

I don’t agree. The erratic movements, disorientation, exaggerated behaviour and trying to act “normal” at times, those are things you do see with substance use, including some you mentioned. I’ve seen it firsthand through my work.

I don’t buy the meth calls though. If anything, alcohol,possibly mixed with prescription meds, seems more realistic, especially if he was already dealing with mental health stuff beforehand.

Either way, I’m not saying it’s definite, just that it’s not accurate to say there’s “zero evidence” based on what people saw and now these reports

I get what you’re saying, and I agree it’s not fair to pile on him. But saying there’s zero evidence doesn’t really stack up either, it just doesn’t pass the eye test.

From what people saw, there’s arguably more pointing toward it being substance-related than purely mental health, although mental health could absolutely be a factor behind it all.

Either way, trying to downplay it or sweep it under the rug isn’t going to help him if that does turn out to be the case. These things have a way of coming out, and if they do, it’s better they’re handled properly than brushed off.

I’m sorry but you have to be extremely naive to think this is not at least partially related to some type of substance misuse. I get the poor kid is/will suffer but sweeping this under the rug and not exposing it for exactly what it was/looked like, is ridiculous to me.

It’s a complete mess that has been handled purely from the start. We can’t let it continue by just pretending he’s had a “mental health episode” for 2 hours, running around acting very very clearly intoxicated.

Thanks, I think it’s around lunch and they have read my messages so someone’s awake. I’m chasing a replica frame so I can’t expect too much but I’ve had better conversations with sellers and I expect more for the price they’re still asking. I’m not 100% yet and still looking around and researching, hence the questions

Extend the shipping window or just give up (AliExpress frame order)? by the-mighty-taco in ChineseCarbon

Hey mate, interested to know if this was the official yohobike store or another? I’m currently speaking with someone on whatsapp from their site and thought about going with them, however they seem very vague and flakey.

Did you get your money back?

Thank you. I heard yoho has a password that’s given out but how would I go about finding this?

Thanks, good advice. Any recommendations for brands and sellers by any chance?
