Far sport wheels anyone?!
After reading Sam's blog about testing some Farsport carbon wheels (yes I know it was a while ago!) I thought I'd see what people's thoughts are with them.
Has anyone got any and if so what do you think? More to the point, has anyone had any that have exploded in some weird and wonderful way??!
After looking at their website they are very tempting....almost too tempting!!

no doubt that Chinese carbon rims and wheels are full of high quality,no matter road bike and mountain bike,many world brand's carbon wheels are made in China(mainland) and Taiwan.
So many threads on this in so many forums. UTFS
I've just started riding the wheels, so an initial report will be coming up in the next couple of weeks!
From what I could find, there wasn't anything about catastrophic failures, hence going with someone like Far Sports, rather than an ebay seller where there's not much information about the product kicking around.
As said in the blog, I went with 24/28 lacing given my weight (coming down - only 3kg to get to 75kg!) and the state of Scottish roads.
