📝 Thanks to Farsports for inviting me around their factory. Farsports are one of the original brands of 'Chinese Carbon Wheels' - they've been doing OEM for a long time and been doing their own rims in their own factory since 2016. They've recently invested in a new hub factory, which means they now have a rather unique situation of controlling a large part of the production process themselves. This gave me the great opportunity to watch the full creation of a wheelset. From the hub manufacturing, to the rims, to the final wheel assembly.
❌ CORRECTION: In this video I wrongly said Mae's inspiration was Roger De Vlaeminck, I got the wrong guy... it was actually Etienne De Wilde. I got the wrong Belgian! Huge mistake on my side, my sincere apologies to both Roger and Etienne!

⚠️ Disclaimer: This is sponsored content. Farsports compensated me for my time and effort in making this video. I also sell Farsports products on my website, Panda Podium, so of course I have some bias. However, this video is a real peak behind the curtain and you can judge what you see for yourselves. Thanks for watching, and thanks once again to Farsports for this exclusive behind the scenes tour!

![Explore China by Bike: Dongshan Island [Chill VLOG Edit]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZCB5KyMUxu0/mqdefault.jpg "Explore China by Bike: Dongshan Island [Chill VLOG Edit]
A few months ago we headed over to Dongshan Island to do some work for Winspace / Velonuts. I threw together some of the shots from the day into this edit. Enjoy.
Normal programming will resume next week.
I chose to flag this as an ad even though its not, this is more of just a behind the scenes / chill video I threw together. Anyway, they paid for me to travel out there, so, I thought Id flag it as paid promotion.
The video I made for Winspace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LIbZJBaxW0
