INGRID RD1 rear derailluer.. Has anyone tried this?https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKmm7Fy
That's a meh from me. The cranks are as expensive as western brands and they are not even available. For $100 less you can get the nice racework carbon cranks
To be fair, their weight is comparable to Sram Red crankarms (400 Onirii vs 380 Sram), which are quite a bit more expensive. Force cranks cost about the same, but are 480 grams
So you folks wearing/ordering riding glasses, I assume none of you wear prescription glasses otherwise, yes? I have nearsightedness and have to wear prescription sunglasses that I have by Ray-Ban. Curious if there's any other way?

I think the only chinese option are the sunglasses that are meant to fit over regular glasses. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804950841415.htmlTifosi also has RX options and a 25% off coupon right now. I'm nearsighted as well, but not terribly. I ride with regular sunglasses and hope for the best https://tifosioptics.com/collections/prescription-sunglasses
Also, the raceworks only come in 170mm. Still...80 grams is not worth the risk. I'd go Force all day long if I had the money. For now, my Senicx crank is good enough.
I can't recommend the carbon Racework crankset anymore, I already broke my 2nd left crank arm and Racework is charging me $43 USD for a replacement.
I think ultralight cranksets and latest Chiner groupsets are two products that I am going to stay away from.
My buddy's SRAM carbon crankset is just as fragile, his crank arm literally fell off during a ride. There's a reason Shimano sticks with alloy. Not to mention the Japanese themselves literally invented 7075 alloy.
