Improvements in Chinese bike and bike parts technology

We often associated Chinese bike parts for shoddy quality, one day life span and for low end plastic products -   horns, lamps, plastic accessories. and others like seat posts, saddles, handlebars.  

But it is no longer true today if you follow the e commerce platforms.   They are into the mainstream of bike technology and may have overtaken the rest of the world

The progress is observed in the following

1.  Low end mountain bike:     ASB, Foxter, Trinx

2.  Middle end mountain bike:   Mountainpeak,   Sunpeed, Phantom, Batallion, Forever Toseek.  

     You find two brike brands with 13 speed (only Campagnolo has that in the west)    Twitter Storm is

     13 speed and Forever.       Forever Coolf MTB   Can you beat that?   only P28,500!!!

     13 speed GS about 700 grams and $780 by S Ride.  (Aside from Campagnolo, the other Western             producer is Rotor)

3   China producers of MTB among world's top 10  Pardus

4  Cogs:   Sunrace, Z race  Sagmit, Ztto.   Even lighter than the original manufacturers  You can find much lighter cogs at 300 grams + only but with hefty prices

5   GS -  LTWOO, Senshah. Restrospec.  LTWOO was established by former head of R & D of SRAM

Even for rear lamps of Rockbros (they are now into Q5) you find advanced features as:  stop light, automatic shut off at daytime, on at dusk, etc.   I only have the q3 

Now is the time to take advantage of low priced products while Chinese producers are trying ot build brands and market share (it means while prices are still low)

We are not pro Chinese.  This post is pro savings pro more money in the pocket/bank

OEM carbon fiber production and testing facilities - so that we may trust OEM components more

Have a very sacred Good Friday

The Scriptures command us to be the Light and the Salt of the  Earth.  To light the darkness.  In this case to further enlighten many of our brethren on OEM bike frames and to lessen their doubt and fear of Carbon frames from China and Taiwan.

The frames and wheelsets are tested. The supplier has state of the art manufacturing facilities:  molds vacuum facilities for carbon fiber production.  They are unlike magbobote or taho vendors Chinese of yore.  It is time we appreciate the progress the Chinese has made in terms of technology, not to mention military, finance and political might and world leadership.


It is hoped that our education on OEM carbon frames and wheelsets has gone up a bit, so that we can
enjoy our bikes at more affordable cost,  and not just to join the trending and mindsets of rich and uneducated few. Also as days pass by, the rest of bikedom will have less nasty comments that reflect their lack of  understanding of modern reality

This post understands that many would like to acquire superbikes at a much lower price.  I am not a defender of the Chinese. I am pro riders and bikers who want to have more in bikes, at much lower price. Big bang for their bucks (Pesoses)

OEM Production and Testing for quality assurance
