I stopped buying chains from Ali. Every chain I get ends up being trash. I now just stick to legit Shimano or SRAM chains.

Yeah, you can get decent chains for 14-20€ from SRAM and Shimano, so why risk getting scammed?

Newbie Bike Store sells legit shimano chains for cheap. Those guys are authorised shimano merchants. At first i thought that they sold me a fake chain since my deore 12 speed chain started to rust. Then i realized that i go on a road regurarly that have a lot of iron dust on it. Cleaned the chain properly and the rusty spots are gone, around 1200km on the chain and no issues.

Buying KMC chains for quite some time and YBN of late. No issues with either. If those are fakes, that's some damn good quality fake.

Do YBN last? I have bought PYC chains from Ali which are supposed to be good, but have heard most Ali chains are junk that don't last.

Installed them on couple of bikes this year and haven't heard any issues with them from the owners (friends/family). Personally I have it on one bike but only about 900 miles and didn't notice any rapid wear. YBN was purchased after good reviews about them here and elsewhere, otherwise I stick to proven KMC whose black/silver color looks better to me.

I've been buying only Ali chains for about 3yrs.. KMC seems legit, as long as you buy from the right stores, I went through 3 chains which lasted around 8-9.000km on my Tiagra 10s
then I decided to try YBN, and it was working really well. I rode about 3.000km and the wear was minimal. Got a new bike so the 10S is now stored and for sale

oh, always keeping the chain clean, lubing each 150-200km at least, deep clean each 800-1000km

Better not promote these scammers here: "Fraudulent store - sent a fake item "

This Sodce gravel alloy frameset comes out to $272 USD for me after tax and free shipping once coupon/store/coin discounts stack up. Could be a fun project build with internal cabling and UDH hanger. Also has a removable FD hanger, most budget alloy frames either weld them or rely on a FD clamp.

34cm hoods and 460mm drop flared bars. I like flared bars on my climbing setup for more control, but the narrow tops are nice when riding the flats. I haven't seen any other bar similar to this extreme range.

I have the 380/500 version of these on my gravel and I absolutely love them. Best bars.

Can you use this for mtb flatbar type shifter brake levers?

No that bar is only for drop bar shifters.

That same Choice store does sell flared MTB bars though like this one:
