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

Have them as well, and I gotta say I don't really like the look – they kinda look (and feel) flimsy, and they barely hold my Elite FlyTex bottles. They're fine on road, but if it get's even a little rough, I wouldn't trust them.

Interesting, I also use the Elite Fly Tex bottles, and they are rock solid.

After having tried several aftermarket chainrings, I think I've settled back on Shimano chainrings. They just shift easily without having to use 2-piece chainring bolts.

Shimano 105 12 speed chainrings are well priced:

Yeah 105 stuff is killer value. I don't know about the economics of it but I've got no clue as to why Ultegra chainrings are substantially more expensive for what they are.
