Leese second gen crankset coming in 135-
145-150-155-160-165-170-172.5 lengths apparently

Not sure if theres any difference or if its just cosmetic..

Not sure if its been mentioned on this forum yet but a frameset released in china a few months ago and has been somewhat popular on chinese social media

Vook v8

XS claimed weight is 690g for frame. Not sure if its including paint or raw but ive seen someone post a S at 749g

Geometry is more upright compared to aethos. Shorter reach and higher stack. Im pretty interested but theres only one colourway released at the moment and its not really my thing.

Retail price is 4000rmb with 5 year warranty and 1 year crash replacement

Just came across this suspension stem and has one decent  sounding review on aliexpress.

Might be a decent cheaper alternative to the redshift stem and better than the redshift and eesilk fakes? But only comes in two sizes and is heavy

No it doesnt

Fake darimo cnc stems

It would be great if people who have experience with both real and fake EI pads could list what they have and their thoughts

I dont have either so i have nothing to add

Some interesting finds:

1. New elita one vibration dampening seatposts
27.2 350mm comes in at ~150g

2. Cheaper alternative to the tripeak asymmetric oversized pulley wheels that chinacycling reported on at china cycle. I remember someone on here was interested in those. Maybe jonathonf2?

3. Fake alugear chainrings

I personally wouldn't bother going shopping for bike stuff in shanghai but sbelltote's advice is pretty spot on. XDS have stores around the city, giant and a few other stores carry pardus and im not sure where stocks camp and sunspeed but they will be around. Bikesoul carry high end stuff but might have some chinese frames and completes too. Theres another shop called club100 but ive never been in thenshop so im not sure what they stock.

If you have a day to kill then you could go to ridenow cycle club(bike shop and also founders of no.6 wheels) and rent a bike for the day. They organize club rides almost every day of the week so you could ask to join or go for a ride around shanghai yourself.

You can add them on wechat @RideNowKen. Ridenow are the most foreigner friendly of the clubs in shanghai and everyone will speak fluent english. If you go into the shop and introduce yourself im sure they will take care of you. Club100 and bikesoul organize group rides as well so you can ask them too

I mean you could go buy a frameset, but you'd have to transport it somehow.

I would just go Disneyland Shanghai. Disneyland California is overpriced, has terrible food and is a clusterf**k of annoying people.

Ive been to Disneyland Shanghai three times.  Its much smaller and i wouldnt say much better than the one in Cali
