Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / SPD-SL Pedals on AliExpress

« on: February 11, 2024, 12:22:21 PM »

Hello, I'm curious if someone has any experience with cheap SPD-SL pedals from AliExpress. Here are few examples of what I'm considering:

MEROCA(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005896377909.html) - Currently for about 16€ with coins which seems to be really a bargain
RACEWORK(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005815552369.html) - Few different options
BUCKLOS(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006293831526.html)

If you know about some better alternatives in the similar price range of 20-30€ or have any input, please let me know.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / First Road Bike Build

« on: November 03, 2023, 11:24:25 AM »

I'm planning to build my first road bike for the next season(starting in March/April). I've never built a bike and I only had a MTB before. I was thinking to use the 11.11 sales to buy some of the stuff from Aliexpress and I'd appreciate your help and suggestions in general.

Here's a list of what I've considered so far:

Frameset - Yishun R086-D(https://www.yishunbike.com/product/r086-daero-road/) or Yishun R1088-D(https://www.yishunbike.com/product/r1088-daero-road/)
Wheelset - Elitewheels Edge 50(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005316458928.html)
Tires - Not sure yet
Groupset
- Shifters, derailleurs, calipers - L-TWOO eR9(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005666489670.html) or L-TWOO R9(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005097651417.html)
- Crankset, chainrings, cassette, chain - Not sure yet

As I mentioned, this is the first time I'm building a bike so if you have any suggestions on what else I should get related to bike components or what tools are necessary to actually build it, please let me know.
