Re: Avoid OG-Evkin Official Store on Aliexpress I was a little worried reading over these comments as I own a stem and handlebar from OG-Evkin.

About a month or so ago I went to overtake pedestrians when I felt a crack through my bars. The last 15 odd km home something felt off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Got home and found hairline cracks in the stem face. It was out of round where tightening the face plate over the bars spread open the face.

I contacted through AliExpress and where I had a bit of a screw around from their customer service. They required me to take a photo of the internal manufacturer sticker which was deep in the throat of the stem. Ended up using an extendable mirror.
I then had to purchase a $1 item from their store page, and to my surprise they sent through a brand new stem. This one is 10-15g heavier and is much more stout. Seems like I was 'lucky' in that it was a batch issue.

No issues so far, but I've only put about 50km on them

TT/Tri groupset options? Hi everyone,

Looking at the groupset options for a tri bike.

I'm a little surprised Ltwoo and Sensah don't have any bar end options for either mech or electronic shifting. What other options do I have if I were to piece together a tri bike?

I've been out of the hobby for a number of years, and I feel like 10-15 years ago there was a greater range of entry level triathlon bikes whereas now it seems all high end. This seems relevant in having very limited options for bar end shifters where 105 has nlno provisions for satellite shifters.

Has anyone built a cheapy trip bike? Or is entirely 2nd hand seemingly my only option unless I spend $5k+ AUD

Cheers
