You have lots of options for stems; I can recommend ztto https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009248698976.html or SES (-7°) https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010495568368.html

Why do you hide aliexpress affiliate links under normal links names ? It's obviously when you do a quote that you rename the affiliate link with the clean link name. And you are not the only one, maybe the same person is using many accounts i cant tell, what i can tell is that the persons doing it are all from Italy

I'd wondered about that. None of those links work directly for me but I can use the item id to see the product.

They've been running the same scheme on weightweenies as well, it's not terribly subtle.

Any recommendation for internally routed stems? Looking for something with -6deg, saw some recommendations for balugoe / riro already. A bit unsure about the spacer situation and headset top cap, should fit on a mondince frame.  ;D

I installed this one, it's -7°

I was able to route all 4 housings for a fully mechanical 105 11s

Titanium means walls can be made thinner for the same strength ... It might be stiffer but is there really a point in that for a freehub body?
With that kind of application, how about hardness? I think titanium grade 5 is quite a bit harder than most aluminium alloys (didn't check). Wouldn't matter for the OP personally if they had never issues with aluminium, though.

Is anyone willing to give these a shot? Heavy, but the price is well into the "looks, smells and tastes like crap" territory.

I recently watched this video comparing the Ryet saddle to the Trek saddle. Despite the price difference, I find it incredible to see in the comments how many people say they have a Ryet and how many are happy with it pretty interesting.

There is a topic on Kore wheelsets, they are rapidly gaining traction on the carbon wheels market, really cheap & very good specs. Think they are cheaper if you order from their website aswell.

Shock - some saddles work for some people and not others.
It's a totally personal thing, and that YT vid is totally biased towards something he already likes.

I'm glad there were positive comments towards the Ryet, not because I particularly like the brand, but it goes to show cost doesn't = comfort.
It's just a matter of finding the right thing in the endless swamp of options.

I have a Ryet on my gravelbike and a Bontrager on my trek madone. They are both great! But I think i prefer the Ryet a little bit more actually.

I'm looking for a bike bag that can fit a DJI RC-N3 controller.

I have a DJI Neo 2, and it fits perfectly in the rear pocket of my cycling jersey. However, sometimes I'd like to fly a bit farther, so bringing the controller would be useful. I don't want to carry the whole hard case, though, because it becomes uncomfortable after a while.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bike bag that can fit the RC-N3 controller? Ideally, I'm looking for a handlebar bag, but I'd also consider a frame bag.

What I find ridiculous is that all these reviewers miss the point that you can get the saddle you need from most of the brands. Yet, they choose to promote a particular brand that is either pays them or they hope to get a sponsorship from them... or they're not the brightest human beings, intelectually. No particular saddle is a magic bullet that fix the problem but rather a set of features that suit one's pelvis, bike fit and body composition decides which saddle type will work for a given rider.

Disagreed. There are saddles from different companies that are overlapping, but you can not get every shape from every company. If it was thar easy, one only must buy all models from one company and pick the right one. If it was that easy.. there would be much less pain in the cycling world.
