Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!

You can choose to order just the cover+spacers in the link?

Oops, thanks for pointing that out! I'm super blind!

Though I'm wondering if that cover+spacer is for that more squared style stem or will it work with the rounded stems?

Square, I think I used it on a flat FSA stem a while ago. Its not ridiculously cheap looking 3D printed shite either like some other spacers that are being sold on AliExpress. I still have the headset top cap from that set and it is comparable to OG-Evkin spacer set.

Edit to say, you are talking about the link I posted earlier, correct?

Yes your post from earlier. The one that's on Amazon is definitely for rounded stems, but I can't find it on AliEx. It's weird there are some items I can only find on US Amazon. For example I have a 2 sided T47 and centerlock disc wrench I picked up from Amazon, but I can't find that tool on AliEx despite being of Chinese origin.

Like this ? Looks like a great idea, wouldn't mind getting one myself.

That one seems quite expensive (14.20 USD for me). Here is another option as choice item for just 6.09 USD: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008356887109.html

 Thanks, I am going to pick one of these up for my SRAM BBs (52mm) but I think the other side is too big for a rotors centerlock nut(49mm).

[jonathanf2]

This is the tool that I can't find on AliExpress. It's built way more solid than the other BB tools I've used. I highly recommend getting this one versus the cheaper grip-less 2-sided BB tools. This Bike Hand tool works perfect for BB86, CL rotor lockrings and T47 bottom brackets.

But it's not actually cheaper 

Never had any issues with the "grip-less" tools though. Can't see a good reason for that grip tbh. If I really need to torque something down, I would hold the tool at the very end of it anyway to have a better lever. So the grip in the middle wouldn't be much use. And if you find the bare metal too harsh on your hands, just wear a cheap workshop glove?

 I appreciate that but I already bought the other one. Was $10 CDN. Will be better to loosen those internal bearing t47 cups.

That one is a different model. I'm not sure if it's better since it has a cupped notched area. Now that I look at it, Bike Hand might be a Taiwan brand, hence the lack of presence on AliExpress.

I do not want to create another post so

currently I have a road bike with addict with pressfit and Shimano 172.5 50/34 chainset - is there any 24mm carbon crankset that would be a direct fit? Ive seen Cybrei but they use easton cinch mount system and direct mount 50/34 choice is quite limited.

[raisinberry777]

You just need a spider that goes from the Easton cinch mount to Shimano 4x110.

Cybrei also make an equivalent spider. You could also use a power meter from XCadey or Sigeyi.

I cheched the Kogel Kolossos "replica" yesterday.
I confirm the lower bearing is without any screen (but after 1000km is was running flawlessly) so I replace with cheap ceramic hybrid double rubber bearing 608 size in order to avoid any further contamination

What about Lexon? They do 24mm too

Same thing, they also use the Easton mount.
