Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress?
carbonazza:
Here's my best of :
Elita one seatpost and saddles
Firespider handlebars
Uno stems too
Balugoe $24 86g bare carbon saddles(but tend to crack after a while)
xpresso pedals Ti, 160g F1Z bike shop
handlebar bags, for long rides(Loving Outdoor Store)
Darevie shorts
SK Cycle carbon seatpost clamp
Alpha cycling pink break pads
Nuga store tubeless syringe
Onirii M2 brakes
Balashov Electric Cooking Machine 1.7L, to wax chains
Magene Radar L508
I liked them but not anymore:
Gaciron lights, great but their straps are crap, I've lost them all
jonathanf2:
Of all the RideNow TPU tubes, I consider these ones the best so far. Not the lightest at 24g, but more durable than the plastic valve stem versions.

Greenred:
How do the 24g ridenows hold air compared to the 36g version? Very happy with latter but a bit worried about constant pumping up tires in case of the 24g ones
PLA:
I like rhinowalk saddlebags, risk titanium bolts, towild lights.
I dislike anything from og-evkin.

--- Quote from: Sakizashi on October 13, 2023, 03:43:49 PM ---These are my two best:
Kalloy Uno Ultralight 7050AL Stems: $17.50 https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799842115476.html
These are very light and generally a quality component. Barely heavier than the Darimo AL stems and less than 1/10th the price.
Ridenow TPU Tubes: $6-$8 each for the 24g versions: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805247862356.html
Light and good quality TPU tube. They make a lighter version, but I have yet to try them.
Worst:
Any pulley wheels or ospw stuff. Total junk bearings. Most use the 689 size. If you want to play with fancy bearings in your RD, look for people reselling Kogel ones that they picked up for free during their sales.

I have a pair of RideNow tubes on the way.
Interesting take on the pulley wheels; I'm using a pair of cheap alloy ones with ceramic bearings on both my mountain bikes (one SRAM GX and one Microshift Advent X derailleur). No problems with either of them and they look great. Have been using them for a few months now. I'd rate them as decent value but mostly an aesthetic upgrade.
