Anyone have any experience with these MTB pedals? They look to be a newly released and original design. They look really damn good for the price.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $22.21  58%OFF | SHANMASHI Mountain Bicycle Pedals 2024New CNC Aluminum Alloy Light Weight Bearing Mtb Bike Cleats Pedal Polishing Treatment

My only concern is there's no side profile image, and they look like they might be convex and not concave.

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!

I've used this exact type of tape in black/white.  Worst tape I have put on my bars in years.  I had 5 rolls and used them all within a couple years.  It would roll up on the sides, then start tearing.  After a few months, I had it held together with electrical tape.

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 have bought that FD two times from same store. Legit. The braze on version is 28 bucks but still less than used ones from FBMP. The 2x11 Ultegra FD (and DA of course) are best in business.
In other news, I tried looking up Microshift Sword groupset but was unable to find one. A while ago there was one seller selling it for more than MSRP in the USA. Its gone now and no one else seems to have it.

Seems to work fine for me.I tend to get bored of my bar tape after a couple months and usually try something new. For 2 bucks I can change colors whenever I want a new look.

There's a shop in Kansas shipping Microshift Sword components, but they are currently sold out of the Sword shifters.

I am thinking about buying a 105 Di2 groupset from AliExpress. Would anyone recommend me a store? I just see the Yiwu shop selling them and I would love to have some other options.

Holy shit. After probably 50+ tries of 3 different codes each the 8 off coupon finally went through. What a frustrating sale. Still worth it for a 28€ bibs+jersey YKYWK set

Yeah, I had to try maybe 100 times since yesterday to get 30 off this morning... Looks like 10.30h Brussels time is best

I am still suffering from PTAPD.    (Post Traumatic Aliexpress Purchase Disorder.)     I need more compensation from them, via lower prices,  because of the horrible buying experiences I suffered this year!

AliEx just released an official AEUS100 $100 USD coupon code that should automatically apply once inputted.

AliEx just released an official AEUS100 $100 USD coupon code that should automatically apply. What I find annoying though is that the sellers will increase price on bigger priced items, so you're not getting a better discount. I think it'd only be useful if you're buying a big batch of less popular items that haven't changed in price.

Increased prices during the 11-11 sales week just adds to my PTAPD.   I really wanted to spend more money during the sales, (I really did),  but if they don't raise the price they often add shipping costs that more than offsets any savings you might have received. (I know that the average American consumer is not too savvy, but do they really think that playing these price and shipping cost games goes unnoticed?)

I used it on 12th November. It was already there. 100 off 500.
