Yes, we do source our rims from Asia but it's not the ones you see available on eBay, Alibaba, or the RoadbikeReview site (definitely NOT the Yinshun rims!). The rims we use are also shared by a few other companies, some of which are very large and to where most people would be surprised to learn they also source some of their products.
