How many pro teams use these chinese wheels ? None Have these wheels been submitted to torture tests and have iso certification and quality norms as the big brands, I highly doubt it. I was told at young age by my father that quality never comes at cheap price. BTW I still ride on 19 years old Mavic Cosmic Carbone SSC that were made in France and still perform well. The same goes for made in China carbon and made in China aluminium frames. Would I trust a product coming from there ? No, because cheap labor doesn't mean quality work and good quality control.
