Looking for alternative for compressionless brake housing instead of Jagwire KEB-Sl which seems to be a little harder to source locally. Anyone used the Talreq ones before? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004643016021.html The shift cable claims to be 5mm. Or any other alternative?

Not good. I have the silver black set. Those are not compression less and horrible with mechanical disc brakes. Wait and get Jagwire even if they are exponentially expensive.

If segmented aluminium housings (think Nokon like back in the 90s) are an option for you, they can be found on Ali for ~10 bucks per meter and should be as compressionless as it gets.

Yokozuna is also super (in some cases too) rigid and not much pricier than Jagwire.

Looks like there are some big discount coupons this time around:

100 off 760 - SMB100

The best one discount wise are 40 and 80

This Magene P505 spider power meter with ZRace crankset cost as much as the Magene power meter sold by itself. Seems like a better buy even if you opt to use a different crankset.

I would like to know, of there's a good alternative as well. Somebody with experience on these?

Im using cooma sport pads with my sram calipers. I havent put a whole lot of milage on them yet but so far so good!

Anyone have experience with this Spedao 10-36t 11 speed cassette?

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805833912725.html

I wasn't that impressed by the Spedao road 11-32t cassette because of cog skipping. Unfortunately the beefier 1 piece Goldix/ZTTO cassettes only go up to 11-34t. I'm planning to use this on my 2x gravel setup. I need to get an XD/R freehub with it as well.

my experience is rhinowalk just can't be beaten for a toptube or saddle bag from aliex. to get better you'll be looking at 3x the price elsewhere imo.
LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MAGA!

Any other bolt on top tube bags out there besides this one?

This specific bag looks like a copy of the focus/cervelo bag (but with straps included) which I ordered from my LBS for just 26CHF. I am happy with it, I would trust rhinowalk to make a good job replicating it but it's important to keep in mind the price for this one is almost a 1:1 match with western brands. Not a killer deal

I have like 4 Rhinowalk bags at this point, they're all excellent.
