Re: Electronic devices
Updated my last post about the iGS520. Smart Trainer & Accessorys Magene ANT+ Receiver https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4001203907500.html Works well, but mine looked used.  Thinkrider X5 Neo http://www.thinkrider.com/?page_id=3471 https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-Fitness-Equipment-Portable-Direct-Drive_1600166464905.html?spm=a2756.order-detail-ta-bn-b.0.0.32762fc2ouw8pj I bought mine for around 420€ on AliBaba. From Order to delivery it took a whole 2 months, while shipping alone was 7 weeks. I also got a 10%/42€ AliBaba coupon, because the seller didn't ship it in a week. Packaging was alright, but some of the polystyrene crumbled, so I had to vacuum the trainer after unboxing it.  The build quality could be a bit better, the plastic of the housing is rather on the cheap side, the metal foot had some scratches/isn't that well polished. The handle is also unclean made. That are just optical flaws and shouldn't affect riding. And it's afair the cheapest Direct-Mount Smart-Trainer available. Other negative points: - No power switch - Power cable could be longer (1.2m from wall plug to power supply + 1.2m from power supply to the trainer) - Adapters for Thru-Axles not included (12€ shipped on AliX) Riding on it is absolutely okay, the foot flexes how it's supposed to do. On really hard out-of-the-saddle one foot might lift sometimes. I've done around 50 km on it now, and power numbers also seem to be okay. May 16, 2021, 03:29:58 PM |

Re: My OG-Evkin CF-052 (FM699) build w/ 60% AliExpress parts
Thanks! I paid 200€ + 10€ for shipping for mine. Idk where you from, but on Ebay Kleinanzeigen are some. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/rockshox-reba-rl-29-120mm-federweg-15mm-steckachse-gebraucht/1721076755-217-1668 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/rock-shox-reba-29-100x15mm-steckachse/1755180784-217-6901 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/rockshox-reba-rl-29-schwarz/1649895696-217-558 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/federgabel-rock-shox-reba-rl-100mm-29-zoll-178-vb/1743165720-217-8464 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/rockshox-reba-29-/1719125641-217-4268 May 19, 2021, 06:01:28 AM |

Re: Any chinese road bike electronic groupset coming soon?
I don't think we'll see any electronic roadbike groupsets anytime soon. Joe wasn't too excited about the MTB one in the video. And I wouldn't buy that either at the price point rumored in the video which was around 380€ converted I think. May 24, 2021, 02:44:29 PM |

Re: Any chinese road bike electronic groupset coming soon?
Where are you from? r2-bike says on their website that they'll come in 2-3 months. The other big german shops have the Rival AXS derailleurs in stock. More interesting imo would be hydraulic disc brake stuff, especially for the Gravel guys. May 25, 2021, 04:34:28 PM |

Re: TT extensions for integrated carbon handlebar?
I'm also interested. Tought about 3D-priting something that fits the handlebar and some Tri-bars made for round handlebars. May 26, 2021, 02:20:28 PM |

Re: Chinese hydraulic disk brakes - are there?
Just came across these, seems to be quite new as this is the only offer which already has some reviews. Almost 200g lighter (if the declared weight is right) than Deore M6100, for less than half the price. http://aliexpress.com/item/1005002560141330.html May 27, 2021, 01:58:41 PM |

Re: various questions about custom build vs brand road bike (cost, issues, warranty)
I paid a tad under 2500€ (which was my set budget) for my Dengfu R12 with 55mm Ican Carbon wheels and Shimano 105 (with Rotor Cranks tho). A similar spec'd current Canyon Aeroad CF SL 7 Disc would cost 3400€. Carbon Roadbikes with 105/Ultegra start here at 2049€, full Ultegra at 2649€. If warranty is a big concern for you, buy your bike in a local store. And also keep in mind, that it can be VERY HARD to get (especially Shimano) groupsets. Bike24 lists the Ultegra Disc Groupset with a delivery time of 66 weeks. I cut the fork myself. June 30, 2021, 03:49:29 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
Have any of you used the carbonda wheelsets or ican? I'm running ICAN Aero 55 Disc, and I love them. Weight is 1493g for my wheelset. And I think price-wise they're at the sweet spot. August 22, 2021, 10:56:29 AM |

Re: Your thought on Sunshine cassette instead of Ultegra
Where did you get the lightwight ones ? https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005002354088200.html Also sold by a couple of other brands like ZTTO, Goldix and so on. August 27, 2021, 09:17:53 AM |

Re: Duty & Customs (Aliexpress)
Is it a scam? Probably yes. Does your order come to your door, without having to pay any other fees or taxes? Also yes. Will it get you, as private buyer, in trouble? Probably not. October 09, 2021, 03:00:19 PM |
