I’m searching new brake pads for sram force axs. I like the sram quiet/organic pads, so looking for something similar. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I would like to know, of there's a good alternative as well. Somebody with experience on these?

I use Kingstop pads for gravel and MTB, they have a few compounds, I use the ceramic.  They're good all around, bite well, quiet, last ~2000 miles.

I'm out of shimano shift cables (and will not be visiting my LBS to get them at 14.- a piece  ;D ;D ;D ) and recalled seeing someone mention good experiences with aliexpress cables. What brand were they and what material/coating do I want? Zinc? Stainless steel? Polished? Does it make a difference?

Looking for alternative for compressionless brake housing instead of Jagwire KEB-Sl which seems to be a little harder to source locally. Anyone used the Talreq ones before? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004643016021.html The shift cable claims to be 5mm. Or any other alternative?

Not good. I have the silver black set. Those are not compression less and horrible with mechanical disc brakes. Wait and get Jagwire even if they are exponentially expensive.

If segmented aluminium housings (think Nokon like back in the 90s) are an option for you, they can be found on Ali for ~10 bucks per meter and should be as compressionless as it gets.

Yokozuna is also super (in some cases too) rigid and not much pricier than Jagwire.

Looks like there are some big discount coupons this time around:

The best one discount wise are 40 and 80

This Magene P505 spider power meter with ZRace crankset cost as much as the Magene power meter sold by itself. Seems like a better buy even if you opt to use a different crankset.
