Re: L-Twoo, Sensah or 105? First thing: you have to decide if you want to go with our without front derailleur. The common style for road bike is with front derailleur, which gives you a large range of gears with small steps in-between the gears.

Second: without any judgment on quality and reliability, Sensah, Ltwoo and Shimano follow very different styles of shifting.
Sensah is equal to Sram. Only one lever does the shifting in both directions.
Shimano uses two levers. One for up, the other one for down.
Ltwoo uses one lever and one thumb shifter like Campagnolo does.
You see.. your choice influences not only the spent money.   ;)

Re: Headset Bearings To be fair I don't think you need state of the arts bearings on a steerer column. For sure AliExpress stocks that. If it's cheap I wouldn't worry about quality too much. Bottom brackets see 1000+ watts and constant work. Steerer bearings see a tiny fraction of that action.
I may be wrong but after building 9 Chinese bikes I wouldn't spend extra on fancy bearings there.

Re: Converting rim brakes wheels to disc brakes disc rims are usually laid up differently for the different forces from the spokes as well as spoke holes being cut at different angles for different spoke lacing

Re: Converting rim brakes wheels to disc brakes Could it be done? Yes.
Is it saving you so much that its worth the effort? Probably not.

Why would this be more dangerous than any other wheel? The difference for disc rim and rim brake rim is literally just the brake track...

No it isnt. the braking forces are completely different so they're built differently. i suspect the spoke holes area is thicker on disc wheels because of where the braking force is applied.
it would also look ugly
it would take forever to relace, it's a cheap wheelset to start with, can't make sense financially when you can simply sell the rim wheels & buy disc wheels.
it's a botch that can end with death.
