Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Rhinowalk has new bags out. I have a couple of their bags and they are a cut above rest of the Chinese bags including Rockbros which is generally quite popular. Eh ... I don't think they thought about the boa placement on the side of the top tube of that bag ... February 15, 2024, 05:45:52 PM |

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
I just hit my first snag on AliExpress. I recently bought integrated carbon drop bars. When I received them, the matte finish looked like s**t, so I initiated the return process. I sent it back and then received a reply saying AliExpress's solution: NO REFUND! I'm like WTF? It was a Choice purchase item and my return should have been no questions asked. Anyways, I chatted with customer service and they said just give it a few days. Anyways, I've left the dispute open, but if they don't refund me, I'll be forced to initiate a chargeback. I had no issues when I returned a cassette that horribly skipped in the 2nd small cog, so I'm not sure why this is a problem? February 23, 2024, 12:17:58 PM |

Re: Chinese cycling clothes
From Temu, https://share.temu.com/UW85epHXFfA I tried it, pad was ok as long as you don't have wide sit bones. It's not very wide. Seemed dense. I like the material of the fabric. stitching seemed to hold up so far. Ran a little long on the leg and size was a little big so i'm trying out a smaller size. No pockets. ---- https://share.temu.com/JnHv9b63HDA Ran a little longer Pad seems supple Runs big so Im trying a smaller size then usual Does have pockets Seems very breathable Shoulder Straps feel good February 29, 2024, 12:13:16 PM |

Re: Bike painting?
Had the same problem with my cube nuroad in desert´n´black. Not even one year old and Cube can't support touchup paint. So i headed out to my nearest body painter. They had a device that could scan the paint and then mix up a small amount of paint for me. But don't ask the price. It is somtething i'd like to forget about. Expensive af… March 05, 2024, 11:41:08 AM |

https://youtu.be/au5PHjQg59M?feature=shared&t=103 Anyone see these new offset oversized jockey wheels that allow you to use them on stock pulley cages? I think these are actually pretty cool. March 08, 2024, 09:43:06 AM |

Re: Electric pump recommendations?
Thanks! Size isn't my concern - it won't come with me on the bike, but stay in the car. I'm looking for the fastest inflation, really. I read about the Fumpa pump being very fast, but it's beyond what I what to spend ($150). If you're just going to leave it in your car, you should get one of those pumps that also works on your car tires. You can set the PSI and for bike tires, it should be quick.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
Also learned today they REALLY don't like the brand rockbros there and have some pretty creative insults and threats towards them Be curious to know why and read some examples. I didn't think its any worse than numerous other Chiner brands but you never know. March 28, 2024, 11:55:38 AM |
