-Gloves - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803497513742.html
- I measured my hand and picked the L based on the sizing, but the sizing is really tight. I can barely get my hands in them. They were warm enough for this ride, but I don't think they would be enough if it was a bit colder.

I have these gloves also. They are good intermediate Spring/Autumn glove. Certainly not -10 . I also had the size L which I had not issue with size wise.

Are the thumb change levers replaceable I have the earlier style unable to reach from the drops would be better to have the newer ones without replacing the whole unit

Does anyone have any recommendations for lightweight long-sleeve jerseys? I'm looking for something for sun protection on warm days, and poison oak protection as well. I'm about 190 cm and a bit over 90 kg, so I need a fairly large size.

Not a long sleeve jersey but I purchased these sleeves with UV protection https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32850484347.html before last summer and they were as good in not better than some brand named ones that where 8 times the price. Being in Australia in summer I prefer this to layers of sun screen

I'll be buying another spare pair for this summer.

Anyone know of anyplace you can just buy the shifters LTWOO RX 12 Disc 2x12s Road Hydraulic Disc Shifter .  I want to pair them with some purple brake calipers I also already have all the other components with cable actuated disc so I don;t need a full groutpset.

Thanks

They are probably 18650 batteries (just guessing). But still easy to find and cheap, so a big plus indeed.

14500  batteries https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005666489670.html

You USA and EU folk seem to on good wicket on prices, 105 Di2 will set you back almost $2.5k AUD and SRAM AXS Rival even more. That's even if you can find stock. I haven't been trying to get hold of some SRAM AXS Rival shifters for 10 months now no joy. Second hand prices for some of this stuff is even higher than new, basically because no one has stock

$900AUD for LTWOO electronic is significantly less and potentially appealing.

I'm interest any feedback from  people that have used the CX1800 wheelset as I am considering a purchase.

 I purchased this D1-800 ROCKBROS light upside down with gopro mount version https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000433874217.html back in early 2021 USB C connection very happy with it better than an cheap ALDI light IMHO . Not sure how long it last after running out one night I keep is regularly charged for cold winter commuting still in use.

Tail lights different case I purchase a pair of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004989066911.html after the last type I had died . They work but I'm not sold on them. Looking for other options

Had 2 pairs of theses  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32880064773.html SPEXCEL they are ok. Nothing to get excited about but I would consider them value for money considering what we pay here for bibs.

I though the first pair were better than the 2nd quality wise also the 2nd seemed a bit shorter in the leg. I like the pockets on the legs on these.

They are good for 4-5 hours in the saddle. I'm a big Lad 5'10 105KG went the size XXL

Sidebike carbon. These purchased in 2020 for $130AUD . Can find them currently on Ali . Over 20,000 KM , as good as new.

Chuck the inners and get some decent ones with arch support
