Chinese bike part discussion - Groupsets, frames, wheels, etc!

Equipment
55

I have a 100% chinese bike excluding the following parts;

  • Sram Group set

  • Shimano XTR brakeset

  • Raceface Crank

  • BB Infinit Bottom Bracket

  • Jumbo Jim Tires

This is a Chinese Fat bike Frame/fork, Chinese wheels with DT Swiss hubs, Chinese Handlebars.

The manufacture is NEXTIE and I have tons of gravel and road wheels from them too. I absolutely recommend them, the customer service is amazing and product is good.

I am 200lbs and my fat bike has seen XC to AM trails and been raced in the snow/ice with studded tires. I would say that the finish quality of the frame is 95% of what a main-stream brand name company would have. You need to work with them a little bit.

I would say that the wheels are 100% as good or even better than mainstream brands.

I had no problems with my fat bike until I had a crash (this is after 3 other minor crashes) on it and broke the seat stay and handlebars. This had absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture’s, I BROKE it. Nextie was great with the process and communication after I broke it.

BTW this bike is under 20lbs

The new frame build should come in about the same weight or slightly heavier as I am changing out the single-piece handle bar (im trying to not be so aggressive)
