Has anyone tried these Goldix XDR road cassettes? I'm not so concerned about the 10t cog, I like how the cog sizes are spread out differently for cadence purposes. Now only if I had an XDR freehub on my wheels...

BTW - How the eff can you find these choice seller stores? Apparently items ship from an AliExpress warehouse (similar to Amazon) for faster shipping. Though you have to dig around to find them. Again, another annoyance of AliExpress.

The biggest annoyance is Choice Sale page for each seller. If you click on seller name from Choice page, you land on a very different seller page which has only Choice sale items on it and from there you can NOT ever go to main store front. It's mind boggling.
There is a store front link right there, but clicking on reloads the page but doesn't take you to main store page. The only way to go to actual store page is to find a non-choice sale item, click on it, then find seller link and then click on it.

You can modify the URL and remove "choice sale" tag from it and yet it doesn't work - the choice sale store page has different ID than main store front. Basically two different store pages for one seller and can't navigate between two. Insanity.

With that said, pretty good system for auto coupon codes this time. I like to play around with the cart items. Check, uncheck add remove etc and don't even have to copy paste correct coupon code. Earlier I used to have all codes copied in a notepad and apply them to cart. Hectic and chances of forgetting altogether. On mobile it was even more difficult. None of that annoyance any more.

Any way, all except one of the carted items remained the same price for me as before the sale started. New MTB groupsets, brakesets, road shifters etc to be had for same or lower prices as that of used items on FBMP/OfferUp. Some of the best prices for Shimano I found this time came from OK-bike, Goddess bikes and Newbie. Anarancee was a little disappointing. Some small items came from random alpha-numeric-soup named sellers. Still have one unused coupon, but I'm out of items lol.

Remember to use cashback options as well, 4.5% with cashrewards, i believe topcashback has an even better cashback option (Australia).

Oof, this 11.11 is hitting my wallet hard. Carbon 3D saddle, KCNC derailleur cage, various carbon bits, tail lights, banana holder...

And yes, a lot of non-sense on AliExpress this time around with ineligible items, out-of stock items, etc.

Are there international codes? The country ones I've tried had already expired yesterday

I got myself a pair of rival axs shifters and calipers for 285€. Anyone got a good deal of a gx axs Derrailleur (do not need shifters, battery or charger) apart from the bike-discount/bike-components?

Try again today. They refresh them every day or something...
I'm thinking about getting a Magene P505 powermeter, but only if I can get the 50 USD coupon to work. I have been trying since yesterday without any luck...

Edit: Have been trying for a couple of hours to get the 50USD off to work but nothing... This morning I could get the 40 USD off to work, but I did not order because I wanted to test the 50 some more, but now the 40 also does not work any more...
I guess they would rather have no sale than a discounted sale...

Edit #2: it just worked after endless tries and refreshing...

Did you simply refresh your shopping cart in the browser and then test it several times?

Yes, on the order page where you have to enter the coupon code.
But it took a LOT of tries  :) I had a couple of times that it worked, but after clicking the order button it said some items were out of stock, so I had to play around with the items in my cart to finally get it working...

but always the same, or did you vary?

according to this list: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aliexpress/comments/17sqdld/discount_codes_for_singles_day/ there are different codes for the same discount values

I think you might have the most luck with the mydealzxx codes. I believe that was the one that worked for me

Just tried some of those non-advertised codes and working ones for USA market are below:

15 off 100 - US15
40 off 250 - USxMouss40x250
60 off 300 - USxLepin60x300

These are in addition to codes that AliEx is showing on homepage.

The biggest code "USxLepin100x500", 100 off 500 shows a message "This coupon code is for single use only and can't be used here" not sure what that means but may be someone can make it work?

I've got one, I'm running a 10-36t with Sram Force AXS RD (rated for 33t max ;D) on my cyclocross bike. It's been flawless. Super light, installed easily, shifts just fine.

If someone currently needs an Ultegra or 105 11 speed RD, Anrancee has a choice store that is selling them. They are also selling an Ultegra R8000 FD as well. Could pair nicely with the Sensah Team Pro HRD shifters!

FD:

I also picked up this cheap a$$ bar tape from the Sensah Factory choice store and I absolutely love it! I bought awhile back and the material feels comfortable when riding. I'm using it on my gravel bike. It's also good price filler just to bump your cart items so you can attain additional discounts during the sale!
