Re: III Pro PEERAGE 4 brakes - piccola clone I'm only buying these if they say PEERAGE right on the levers ;D

Nothing gets me more fired up to ride, except maybe a UTI

How easy are these to bleed - and what barb/olive would be best? I am in Australia and would need left/rear right/front otherwise I will end up going over the handlebars constantly.

I just bled them today with a standard "Shimano" barb/olive from AliExpress. I used an ezMTB 2022 STD bleed kit which had all the adapters I needed. I'm no expert but I got a decent bleed injecting fluid from the caliper up. Maybe not rock hard perfect, but solid enough. The only caveat you need to aware of is that the lever bleed port bolt is made of swiss cheese. Need to be extremely careful removing/reinstalling it.

Which leads me to my next question...where can I find a replacement lever bleed port bolt with higher quality?

I measured the head at about 6.2mm, and I think it's an M3 with 2mm hex

Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress? I need to make a more detailed update of my tier list but a couple updates

ezMTB 2022 STD bleed kit $12 - Absolutely incredible toolkit. Brass fittings for Shimano/SRAM/Hope/Magura brakes in a high quality little package.

Zrace Blade crankset with 32t chainring and BB $40 - Wow. The finishing on these cranks is immaculate. They claim 7075 aluminum which may even be true. They are perfectly CNC'd like Hope cranks and come with an aluminum crank arm fixing bolt. As per usual I wish they were unbranded, but the branding isn't too gaudy. I have to put these in the elite tier for AliExpress parts. I believe the crankset weighed 698g with chainring. I put them on my Klein urban MTB which is probably overkill (I could've just went with road cranks), but they look amazing with their gloss finish.

Senicx FM3 crankset $31 - I was impressed by the quality of these cranks are well. These look to be forged instead of CNC'd, and did not come with chainring or anything else. Also they came with a cheap plastic crank arm fixing bolt (18mm) which I replaced with a $1 Riderace aluminum one. These are matte and have a clean, understated aesthetic, once again the branding isn't too gaudy.

Mixed 5D carbon saddle $21 - Bought a backup one because the price vs quality is just too good.

Onirii IIIPro brakes $80 + Avid 180mm rotors $10 + Cooma Gold pads $4 - Just finished installing and bedding these in, need to test long term. First impressions: CNC machining is good but not perfect. The lever bodies look a bit cheap, but the levers themselves look awesome with the drilled out holes. The calipers look incredible aesthetically. The pads they shipped with were some mega cheap crappy resin, I tossed them and installed Cooma Gold metallics. Had some customer service issues with the Onirii official store but hopefully we can look past that if the brakes turn out good.

Zoom HB-910 $116 (with TRP 180mm rotors I had) - Just finished installing and bedding these in, need to test long term. Both lever body and caliper look absolutely stellar. The levers themselves look alright, but wish they were drilled. Power feels very strong. I am running the stock brake pads with look to be metallic or semi-metallic.
