What the forums say about No.6

Forum discussion of No.6 as a company is limited and mostly critical, with the recurring theme that its wheels are rebranded off-the-shelf Farsports parts sold at roughly double the price, and that the same parts can reportedly be bought directly from Farsports for a little more than half the price. No.6 is described as a brand that outsources production rather than being a manufacturer, though one poster notes Farsports said it does not have rims matching the No.6 52/58 specs, raising doubt about the Farsports origin. The company's 2-year warranty and lifetime crash replacement are acknowledged as factors in its pricing, but replacement carbon spokes are reported to cost around 90 euros with shipping, which one poster calls insane. Customisation details are sparse and unclear, including whether the 45/50 racing wheel uses generic 3.8/3.9 mm carbon spokes of 282 mm length or in-house spokes.
