Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!

[voidptr]

Returned home from a 2-week vacation to find a bunch of AliExpress packages waiting for me:

• ArcRayo Powermeter (177€, 108g): works fine with T47. Had to install the Android .apk manually, but no issues so far.
• Kinan SPD-SL pedals (42€, 184g): short version, same sticky grease as Onirii, but work fine with original Shimano cleats.
• LEESE 2025 165 mm DUB crank (132€, 342g): ordered a replacement since the left crankarm of my last one came loose and had to be returned.

Does anyone else ever bought something from aliexpress that they didn’t know they needed but now cannot do without anymore? For me it is the chain cleaner holder.

Yohoo-Works Store provides a big discount if you place an unpaid order and contact them via direct message on aliexpress.
They will adjust the price. You may have to change your currency to USD and then select Wire Transfer as payment. You'll be able to pay via Paypal afterwards.
I got it for 194$/168€ (before VAT/tax) in combination with other coupons.

Is there a 104 bcd version of this power meter for MTB?

wow the pedals sounds interesting - would be interested in a longterm review. Did you fix the grease issue?

I've been using these Racework SPD pedals for over a year. No issues at all. I keep meaning to pop them open and check the grease, but I still haven't gotten around to it. Hard for anyone to say any pedal is as good as a shimano pedal, but these are good. Currently $30 for a pair. Hard to beat that.

I paid $16/pair November 2024. (Sale, Coupons, coins)  Hard to pay 2X the price these days.

My chains are all waxed,  On a regular basis, I remove the chain to clean it off the bike and then immerse in new wax.   Therefore no need for me to ever purchase this Item.

I used a lot for gravel and road bike when transporting in the car, I would make a minor modification in order to install with one hand

One with a sliding plastic 140 or 160 rotor on the left side would be a nice upgrade.

Can anyone recommend a set of mini V brakes for my fixed gear winter bike?

[gribs]

Not Aliexpress and I doubt they're easy to find anymore but 15 years ago I was using Tektro 926AL on my cross bike and they worked really well.

[rcwsr]

Thanks, I’ll take a look. About 10 years ago I had some nice red annodised alloy mini vs on my old crux that worked great, can’t remember the brand might have been tektro

Does anyone have wheel bags from aliexpress? Sick of playing careful tetris to put my bike in my car. Tons of options but I don't know what to look for.
I don't want to disassemble rotors and cassettes, and preferably I want to put 50mm gravel tires without deflating them

I just use the bags that Farsports ships their wheels in. Are you looking for padded protective bags, or just bags?
