Haha well I've read enough about "Crabon" potentially "AssPloding" (which everyone talks about but nobody seems to have a real account of) that I just wanted to get a temperature check on the community. 11 speed cheap chinese carbon wheels have been out for at least 3 years now, and if nobody has died because of them, and my use-case is conservative, focused purely on aero applications, and I have other, brake-worth rims available, and they are only $200, I'm just looking for someone to give me a hard "NO" because of something catastrophic they have seen or a huge red flag. Even if I nuke one on a pothole, it won't be the end of the world. Even if the hubs last for only 5k miles, it won't be the end of the world.

tldr/ are there specific checks I can do on the hub/spokes/rim to determine if they are extra-sub-chinese quality?!
