How bug nets through helmet vents aren't standard is crazy to me... Not even keeping track of the amount of times something has gotten stuck in my hair through the helmet and stung me anymore

Hi all, maybe a stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway  :).

I have been eyeballing a frameset and a pair of wheels (elite edge disc) on aliexpress. I'm wondering if it would be smart to wait untill the 11.11 sale to buy these, the wheels would come in at around 580 euro's at the moment (with extra 'party time' discount) but i've seen people on this forum getting them for 500-550.

Has the 11.11 sale been worth it the last years? Thanks!

People last year were often underwhelmed with the 11.11 sale, but one thing's certain: just before 11.11 is not the best time to buy, if you're patient. They inflate price before the sale. The base price might not be the best YTD price, but the coupons will most definitely make it worth it. I would wait for sure

Once you go skinsuit you never go back, the fit and simplicity is just far superior imo.
If you can manage to get it on clearance then Neopro skinsuit is incredibly cheap, superior to any ali offering imo.
Neopro won't sell in europe because "the taxes make business not worth it"
Do you also find skinsuits more comfortable, or just easier to deal with and cheaper? I was interested last year but many people dissuaded me saying they are not comfortable and something only worth getting for short races

Unrelated, I found the last discounted neoracer jersey from the local decathlon that happened to be my size... For 15€, I don't think anyone is ever going to beat that price. Worth checking if there is stock locally imo...

I just get runners tights from Decathlon.

They are discounted atmat my local store and I was considering them instead of getting winter bibs. Do you wear them over or under bibs?

+1 on both UNO stems and ridenow tubes. Both excellent products that could be sold as premium. Must have bargains for sure.
YBN chains and Deemount tubeless valves are also purchases I am very happy with.

I learned on here recently ali accounts had a tier system, and now I learn there are coins to collect? I thought I had been everywhere on ali but I keep learning from you guys..

I'm with you, the YFR068 ticks all the boxes but I wouldn't order a frame that has so many QC issues

Anyone? Willing to try or already tried? They look pretty good from pictures but at this price I'm a little hesitant

My first thougt as well.

Does this mean that Flybike deals direct to consumer nowadays?

Has to be the same Adam, which is probably a nickname anyway.
How come the frameset is more expensive though? Going through carbonda a 696 is 480USD

This seat post from Lexon looks interesting. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLc9gZY

A flexy seatpost that is almost in-line (5mm offset).

Those screws look like an absolute nightmare to install

To be fully honest I've got all 3 second hand sellers in the area on their toes  ;D They aren't finding buyers for 120 and I'm waiting for the first one to lower to 110, I don't think even the best aliexpress sale will beat that. Always worth it to check if there aren't people selling aliexpress products locally, I could also get a barely used 3D printed ali saddle for half the price of the best sales

The IGS630 is apparently coming soon to aliexpress at 180 dollars on the changye store (which I think is the official IGPSport store)

:o the Darevie bibs increased the prize ... its now more than double now, for € is 74... is this only for my account the case?
Also the jersey got much much much more expensive ?!
Even though I like them .. but that's not possible...I won't buy them again.

Saw that today too... Only on the official store thankfully, and the short sleeve jerseys are still the same price (for now?)
Still a bunch of stock on other stores with limited color options, but I don't expect a price tripling to be permanant. Or at least I hope so, I like the bibs a lot

Is this real? I can only get refunds 15 days after confirming the delivery, even though it was faulty and support made me wait for a replacement that was faulty too?  >:(

And even then, a 39-45 sock is kind of a joke. No such thing exists, they are probably loose if you are a 39 and will be tight and uncomfortable at 45
