new riro crankset with dub axle and shimano direct mount chainring

398g arms and spindle

Listed for 898rmb arms and spindle only or  1038rmb with chainrings

Look like all the new wave of chinese carbon cranks but cheaper and a bit heavier. but shimano direct mount is a bit random. Is that usually for mtb or something?

Unfortunate choice to go with Shimano DM - basically means you have no road compatible power meter options. Looks nice otherwise.

Rebrand of the leese cranks, also they are 168mm q-factor so you aren't really gonna be using them for road

Nothing wrong with the 105 R7000 crankset. You won't gain much weight reduction with the Senicx crankset. Might as well keep using the 105 and get new chainrings.

Anyone know if there is a 144bcd spider available for this type of crank mount?

what the hell do you plan on doing with that

Mine Goodyear Eagles f1 purchased of late on AliX were made in 2019. The Rubber was "worn".  And puncture protection of that old version of tires is pretty weak.

I'm probably late but I hadn't seen this product yet:

Ridenow's take on the crankbrother lever/tire glider. Available on the 3 for $6 section for lower. Comparable size and dimensions to the crankbrothers one (but looks more practical)

Tanke doing a hybrid cable/hydraulic caliper that looks to be based on the TRP Hy/Rd design. Probably a bit late to the party with everything being hydraulic now but a useful option nonetheless:

New L-Twoo rim-brake mechanical shifters available in 8/9 speed with the same shifting mechanism as the hydraulic levers (so the Campagnolo style):

Long time lurker, first time poster. Anybody got a source for big platform pedals? Looking for something comparable to the Pedaling Innovations Catalyst. Thanks.

Nothing like this exists yet

The best MTB pedals on Ali are MZYRH 326 (Vault clone) or 327 (Original model) or Shanmashi (various models)

I recently bought a Fovno 110/5BCD 50/34t chainring set, and the shifting is as good as Shimano. I only have less than 1000km on them, so I don't know about durability yet, but the teeth look to be in great shape so far.
I would not replace a R7000 crankset with Senicx crankset. A Senicx crankset with spider will be heavier than the Shimano R7000 crankset.

I've been looking at the Fovno 4 bolt 52-36t chainring, good to hear shifting is solid. I was actually thinking of using a stock Shimano 34t small chainring and using the Fovno 52t big. I've read people having success with that combo.

I've been really satisifed recently with OG-Evkin BT-001 bar tape:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005644956337.html

Price is expensive in the store but I've had it come up in my 'Pick 3 and save' for $7 USD, and for that price it's a steal. It's heavily inspired by Lizardskins DSP tape, but about a quarter of the price. Quality is great - having tried the real Lizardskins it's very similar - though I can't speak for its longevity. Have wrapped a few bikes with it now and it's got a good stretch and is easy to wrap. Looks classy on the bike.

Not AliEx, but I recently picked a Hover X1 drone. It works fairly well, but I did crash it when it a hit a low branch. Since it's super lightweight, it held up well to being knocked around with only minor scruffs. Anyways, I've been using it for social media posts for cycling, but I'm mainly going to use it for family vacation videos. Tech is still a bit pre-mature so I wouldn't use it for any serious drone footage, but it's small enough to fit in a fanny pack or even a cycling jersey pocket.
