What the forums say about Farsports
Farsports is a Chinese carbon wheel manufacturer based in Xiamen that sells both through its own websites (farsports.com for premium pre-built wheels, wheelsfar.com for custom build-to-order wheels) and via AliExpress, email, and WhatsApp. Customers consistently report strong value, extensive customisation, and generally good build quality, but experiences with lead times, communication, and warranty handling vary widely, with recurring complaints about bearing and freehub durability, spoke tension, and slow or inconsistent after-sales support. Over time the company has shifted its sales channels, removed its own hubs from the Wheelsfar site to push customers toward the more expensive Farsports-branded wheels, and repeatedly adjusted pricing and discount codes. Videos show a large, vertically integrated factory with in-house rim and carbon spoke production, automated QC, and supply relationships with dozens of Western brands.
Pros
- Extensive customisation: buyers can choose hubs (DT Swiss, Carbon-Ti, Extralite, RD230/RD270/RD360, Bitex, Novatec, Chris King, White Industries), spokes (Sapim CX-Ray, CX-Super, CX-Sprint, carbon), nipples, rim depth, width, finish, decals, and even non-catalogue configurations by email or WhatsApp.123
- Competitive pricing and frequent discount codes (e.g. FAR-OFF-50 on Wheelsfar, FAR-OFF-30 on Farsports.com, 10% off for 11.11 and Black Friday), making wheels significantly cheaper than comparable Western brands.456
- Build quality is often described as excellent, with wheels arriving true, well tensioned, and close to advertised weight; several long-term owners report thousands of kilometres without issues.789
- Responsive and helpful customer service from staff such as Sandy, Emma, Angela, and Tom, especially via WhatsApp and email, with quick replies and willingness to accommodate special requests.41011
- Duty-prepaid shipping options for the EU and UK, often avoiding additional customs charges, and generally good packaging that protects wheels in transit.121314
- In-house manufacturing and vertical integration: videos show Farsports produces its own rims, carbon spokes, and pre-preg, with automated QC and testing, and supplies many Western brands.1516
Cons
- Inconsistent lead times and shipping delays: orders can take anywhere from a week to over two months, with frequent delays due to production backlogs, Chinese New Year, COVID lockdowns, and carrier issues.171819
- Recurring quality issues with hubs and bearings: RD230 and RD270 hubs are reported to have rough, corroding, or failing bearings, freehub engagement problems, and creaking, though some owners report no issues.202122
- Warranty and after-sales support are inconsistent: some customers receive free replacements or partial refunds, while others report slow responses, refusal of warranty claims, and having to pay for shipping and rebuilding.232418
- Spoke tension and truing issues: multiple buyers report wheels arriving with uneven spoke tension, out-of-dish rear wheels, or going out of true quickly, sometimes requiring local bike shop correction.252426
- Communication can be slow or inconsistent, especially during holidays or peak periods, and some customers report unanswered emails or WhatsApp messages.172728
- Decals and branding are often difficult to remove, and some customers find the decals cheap-looking or impossible to omit on certain models.293031
Key Facts
- Ordering channels: farsports.com (premium pre-built), wheelsfar.com (custom build-to-order), AliExpress, email, and WhatsApp (contacts include Sandy, Emma, Angela, Tom).32335
- Typical lead time: production usually takes 20-25 working days, with total order-to-delivery often around one month, though delays of 5-7 weeks or more are reported.321334
- Shipping methods: DHL, FedEx, EMS, XDB/WXY, and duty-prepaid services; DHL/FedEx are fastest (often under a week), EMS is slower and less stable.3235
- Hub options: DT Swiss (350, 240, 180 EXP), Carbon-Ti, Extralite, Tune, Novatec, Bitex, Chris King, White Industries, and own-brand RD230/RD270/RD360/Feder hubs.1365
- Spoke options: Sapim CX-Ray, CX-Super, CX-Sprint, and in-house carbon spokes (3mm and 5mm), with carbon spokes generally requiring specific hubs (e.g. RD270).321037
- Rim options: various depths (25mm to 75mm+), internal widths (21mm to 28mm), hooked or hookless, with or without spoke bed holes, and finishes including UD matte, paintless glossy, satin, and marble.381039
- Discount codes: FAR-OFF-50 (Wheelsfar), FAR-OFF-30 (Farsports.com), FAR50, and periodic 10-15% sales for 11.11 and Black Friday.56
- Warranty: typically 2 years for manufacturing defects, with no formal crash replacement program; replacements are often offered at a discount or cost price, and shipping/rebuild costs may fall on the customer.404142
- Factory facts from videos: located in Xiamen, capacity of 600,000 rims per year, in-house pre-preg and carbon spoke production, automated QC with laser measurement, and supply to 40-50 brands.1516

Watch This Before You Buy Carbon Wheels in 2024! - Lún Performance Factory Tour
June 30, 2024
The video is a factory tour documentary showing the manufacturing process of carbon wheels at the Lún Performance factory in Xiamen, China. It reveals that Farsports (operating as Windspace for frames/handlebars and Lún Performance for wheels) produces carbon rims and spokes in-house with significant automation and quality control. The video emphasizes that many major Western brands outsource manufacturing to Chinese factories like this one, and showcases Farsports' technical capabilities and rigorous testing procedures.
