Component Deals & Selection / Re: Fake eeBrakes G4

I was always interested in these, but after reading the problems in this thread I guess I will give them a miss.

Going to get the Ultegra dual pivot rim brakes instead. Unless there's another good light weight dual pivot option

I've had the RYET Air Code with the carbon base for 8 months now, for me it's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. I love it. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805023659024.html after 8 months it is a bit dusty inside the holes, I need to give it a spray or something.

I thought since I loved their Air Code so much that I'd try their other 3D saddle https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805830654849.html I don't like this one, doesn't fit me at all.

I needed to add more side visibility to my bikes and these reflector stickers work great. Buy from Pick 3 & Save for under $2 USD. In fact Pick 3 & Save is now my go-to for TPU tubes, lights and other small items. Some of the item are so cheap, I'm wonder how the f**k are they even making profit? Lol
The buy 3 and save section has disappeared for me

Xiamen sounds eerily familiar but I guess that's because its a very common name.
Xiamen is a city in China they is well known for production of carbon fiber components.

Please do keep us updated! I'm very interested in this company and their wheels! The finishes look similar to what Lightbicycle are providing but the price point is even lower and being able to purchase from Aliexpress gives us a layer of protection.

I have this one with the carbon base, I got it when it was pretty new and paid more for it than it sells for now. It's honestly the most comfortable saddle I've ever had.

Love my Elita One seat post, I wish they still did raw carbon look ones instead of all black. I'd buy a few more if they did!

Thomson Elite 27.2 Seatpost:
URL: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806133158968.html
Review: 8/10
Details: I haven't installed it yet, but I've owned genuine Thomson seat posts in the past and this one looks identical to them.  It didn't come with a Thomson bag, which is why I've knocked some points off.  Otherwise, though, this looks to be a solid replica with no issues.
Is the seat post CNC'd? When you rub your fingernail up and down on it can you feel the ridges?

Does anyone have any experience with them? Their price point is on the more budget friendly side compared to elite / light bicycle
I've not seen or heard of them before today.

If I were buying tyres from China I'd just go for something like Maxxis, WTB, Kenda etc. At least that way I'll know they're legit.

BXT make this https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DErsZ0P
Apparently it's a popular budget option. I feel like we should be able to find cheaper frames, but I've not come across any.
