    Great Video. I'm getting ready to apply my Zipp decals. However, I would like to say, that in my experience in applying decals to things, it is best to rub it down with a credit card before removing the clear plastic. The hard edge of the card ensures the best adhesion. Thanks for the video.

    Hi nico. I havnt had any experience with Chinese road frames yet. Hope to do so in the future. However i read that "Dengfu" are reliable.

    Too many stickers for me. I'm not quite the go full stealth mode, but one or two rather 5 or 6 stickers for me. But I like your tip of using sellotape and sticking one side down at a time.

  • @suhdud4646
    @suhdud4646 Před 4 lety

    The brand name companies dont complain about the stickers because it would be contradictory to the manufacturing, but they dont want you to know that. I bought a set Yishun 80mm carbon wheels back in 2010 and they are still going strong. I only needed to replace the rear hub but after 10 years and tens of thousands of km's which is a pittance to pay for the longevity of these wheels.

      +Tim Reynolds Hi Tim. I will certainly add your suggestion to the list. Inflating tyres on carbon wheels insn't much different to alloy,except for using a valve extender if required. Also I covered a few points about this in a previous video. cheers

    Do you get a discount with Yoeleo? I've ordered a set after seeing your videos but nearly 2 months after ordering and they are still not here, all I get from them is excuses. The latest excuse is that the shipping company have lost them and they will send another set next week.

      oz cycle They did supply a tracking number that did not provide any results on the tracking website. When I informed Yoeleo they said the shipping company must have lost the wheels. They say they will send me another set next week, but like I say its already been nearly 2 months. Not the best service after having waited so long already.

    A really great how-to video, but a rather miserable excuse in my opinion. Going by the same logic, manufacturers must be just as happy to have companies produce counterfeits of their product, after all, there's lots of companies producing counterfeit products and not just their stickers! The reality is most manufacturers I know who have had their name ripped off are not at all happy about it, but as the ripoffs typically come from foreign countries, they're largely powerless to do anything about it.
    I'm all for cheaper products, and have finally decided to buy some Chinese wheels myself. However passing them off as another manufacturer's is not cool in my book. Other's milage may well be different, and that's up to their own conscience I guess.

    • @BPoweredLove
      @BPoweredLove Před 6 lety +2

      Relax. If the guy were selling these wheels as Easton you unsuspecting buyers, then we have a problem. But he isn't selling them at all and you know this guy would readily admit to any fellow bikers who inquire that they're deliberately mis-labeled Chinese no-names. No harm, no foul.
      It's like affixing a BMW M3 emblem on a 325i (or even a Honda Civic). No one is fooled. It's all good.
