Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
00Garza:
Poster messaged me back and confirmed it was impact related.

Look how many stack of spacers this person had on this bike on top of the tall ass head tube. This person must be the size of an NBA basketball forward. I'm guessing this person is on an XL sized bike, but still needed additional spacer height. Either way, it looked like a disaster waiting to happen and probably exceeded what was tolerable for that fork.

I also bought a pair of these and they were shockingly flexy. So I flexed them in my hands and they shattered.
I have a policy with aliexpress handlebars that I will do this and if they snap out right they go back - I don't care about the morality, they sold a dangerous item.

You're doing everyone a service doing that. The T1000 cockpits I get from airwolf (I've bought 6 now), I can't even flex in my arms, and I'm over 80kg.

When you say you flexed them in your hands and they shattered, what exactly did you do?
