Just ordered a set of Zoom HB-910 brakes in silver, along with Cooma Gold metallic pads and Avid rotors.

Shoutout to this forum for all the excellent threads highlighting the quality products in a sea of mediocrity.

Has anyone come across a set of ultralight SPD pedals offered on Aliexpress??   Perhaps with a TI axles?

I'm looking for the same. Wellgo seems to be the lightest budget option, but those I can buy locally in Germany for cheaper.

I have two pairs of inexpensive SPD pedals that are fairly light. Both have chromoly spindles so there are likely lighter options out there.


I have the VENZO pedals on my road bike. I weighed them at 294 g (excluding cleats) and they've been pretty good so far. No issues clipping or unclipping and the bearings are holding up after a year of use. I got them on Amazon and couldn't find the AliExpress equivalent with a brief search.

(82x55mm option)


On my gravel bike, I have ZERAY ZP-108S pedals. These are 283 g and they've been just OK. One of the screws fell out and one pedal is a little harder to clip in and out of. The bearings have also needed some adjustments. To be fair, they've taken a few hard rock strikes. I also got these from Amazon but there are a few sellers on AliExpress as well.

I like and use Wellgo / Xpedo:

Of course the full Ti version of Xpedo are not a budget option...   

On the cheaper side with aluminum I use and like these:

They used to sell cheap Xpedo lightweight SPD pedals that weighed 245g a pair, but they stopped selling them on AliEx. It's the same pedals Trace Velo reviewed badly (he fell due to a difficult clip out), but they work fine as long as you loosen the spring tension.

Any thoughts on these titanium DT style freehub bodies? I was thinking the HG version would resist bite marks better, though I'm not sure it's worth the premium. Also I'm not sure how beneficial having ceramic bearings would be.

I have been using EC90 saddle with steel rail and it has been fine. I am also trying out their carbon rail one and it is a little bit more harsh and the rail was 7x10mm instead of 7x9mm which made install didn't work for one of my bikes.

Thanks.  I have a couple pairs of the MZYRH pedals.  Recently I weighed my old WTB SPD pedals and found out the WTB pedals were 15 grams per pedal lighter than the MZYRH.   I like the Xpedo 210 gram set, but they are expensive, plus,  the link says they don't ship to the USA.   I'll search for them elsewhere.

Just ordered a Zrace Blade crankset for my urban bike. $36+tax for cranks, chainring, alloy fixing bolt, crank boots and bottom bracket

Anything is better than my heavy as sin FSA Comet with steel chainring

Has anyone found a good Power ARC clone?  I have a genuine Specialized one that is starting to creak something fierce after 6500 miles.  I think it's at the rails/seat interface

Help! I'm addicted to chain waxing. I keep reusing the shimano quick link (until I switch to YBN that is) but I know I shouldn't do it too much. Are there good reusable quick links on ali? Like the KMC R link. I see some from SUMC, riderace but those are brands I don't associate with very high quality. A few KMC ones on ali but I don't know if I trust them to be genuine. Any trustworthy ones you guys have tested?

Connex links, a bit more pricey, but it's not worth risking it with questionable stuff for this. Keep thr regular ones for the trainer
