Re: Suggestion for integrated handlebar with external cables
BTW - if you find a more boxy integrated bar, these non-integrated aero spacers are becoming harder to find. Gives the aero look without the integrated cabling! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805885494386.html January 31, 2024, 07:21:45 PM |

Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets
If you bought it from AliEx, I'd contact the store you bought the groupset from and see if they can send you replacement shifters. If not, try contacting Ltwoo directly and see if they'll replace it for you.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
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 https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806177148369.html February 07, 2024, 12:13:12 PM |

Re: LTWOO RX hydro sets
I think it's been mentioned on this forum that LTwoo used riveted ABS plastic for the left and right shift levers. Constant applied pressure makes it susceptible to breaking. I wouldn't even bother with LTwoo mechanical levers. You'd be better off using Sensah Team Pro 11 or 12 speed shifters with LTwoo derailleurs. In fact I just built a bike with this exact same configuration (Sensah shifters, LTwoo front/rear derailleurs).

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Pick 3 is gone for me too. I ordered using "Pick 3" 4 days ago. (I think it shows up the first 5 days of each month.) See if this link works. Copy it to the browser directly. I'm not sure if it'll work for other countries, but should work for the US. Also make sure to bookmark it. I have several orders coming through, prices are usually half off or more compared to Choice and direct seller AliEx orders for small items. Even my kids love it since they can buy small trinket items, portable game consoles, etc. Also for those in southern California, I'm getting all my items delivered within 7 days or less and with private courier direct from the AliEx US warehouse. https://www.aliexpress.com/gcp/300000512/nnmixupdatev3 February 09, 2024, 12:32:51 PM |

Re: SPD-SL Pedals on AliExpress
Xpedo pedals are Wellgo's premium pedal line-up (ignore the pervy name). I have both Look Keo and SPD pedals from them and they're rock solid and weigh less than Shimano or Look brand pedals. You can buy a pair of Look Keo or SPD cleats on AliEx Pick 3 & Save for $1.99 USD a piece. For me it's a no-brainer. The only name brand stuff I buy are Shimano derailleurs and cycling kits. I can't stand AliEx kits!

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
For brake and shift cables, I can't emphasize how good these gold cables are. On my Juin Tech F1 equipped bikes the gold brake cables feel more firm with no sponginess. I've also ordered their gold shift cables, but standard shift cables work fine for me. This Newbike choice store has the cheapest prices that I've seen: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806126221795.html  February 14, 2024, 11:09:48 AM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Can confirm the gold cables work excellent in general (I'm using them with Onirii hydro-mech and SRAM Red rim). I got them from a brand called "Heppe". I'm guessing they are all same. Same goes for the red colored cables. They're basically just painted on as well. Either go with regular silver cables or these gold ones. Here's another one. You can find these Riderace compression headset plugs on Pick 3 & Save for $1.99 USD (or less depending on sale). The type 2 version is very similar to the FSA headset compression plug which I find to be a superior design (the non-textured cylinder surface). Don't buy the type 1 version, I believe it's made to fit a wider stem tube diameter unless you're buying it for a MTB. Just for reference, buy it instead from Pick 3 & Save: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806309182455.html

Re: TFSA JH-15 and JH-10 - lightweight and aero disc frames
JH 15: The shape of the front of the headtube looks completly round in the render images. The other shapes of the down and seat tubes dont look very aero to me eiter. I doubt they ever but this frame in an wind tunnel. What do you guys think? I think that frame takes quite a bit of "inspiration" from the Cervelo R5. If anything, Cervelo did the wind tunnel test for TFSA!  My first carbon frame was from TFSA and I'm still riding that bike two years later with thousands of miles on the frame. Part of the reason I bought from them was due to excellent communication from purchase-to-shipping. I'd definitely consider buying another frame from them again. I'm actually surprised they're not as popular on this forum. February 15, 2024, 08:05:08 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I just received these bone conduction earphones for $2.69 USD from Pick 3 & Save. The sound quality is decent and it uses USB-C charging. For cycling I prefer this style of earphones because they don't need to be placed in-ear. It also allows me to hear traffic and have conversations even when the music is playing. Link for reference, buy instead from Pick 3 & Save for lower price: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805644677436.html  February 19, 2024, 08:01:49 PM |
