Wippermann Connex links are reusable, but cost more.

*officially reusable. All quick links are reusable, just not officially claimed by the manufacturer.

As long as the have the same distinct "click" when I close them as they did the first time, I am happy to give them another spin. If they start to feel more loose or don't fully go into their "closing position", I swap them out.

Anyone know of good quick links, both 11 speed and 12 speed?

I’ve been using the 11 & 12 speed varieties from RiderAce with good luck.

Cross-posting from the 11.11. sales thread:

So it looks like we will see these vouchers coming from AliExpress for the 11.11. single days sale which have a different value/threshold than the regular choice day vouchers. If you wanna try to do some shopping basket pre-planning

5€ orders 39€+
12€ orders 89€+
25€ orders 169€+
40€ orders 269€+
60€ orders 359€+
80€ orders 499€+

I expect the same vouchers to be available for USD as well. However keep in mind, the Euro vouchers do work for USD purchases as well and will often give a better value if you can hit the thresholds.

Geoid GPS (which from what I understand is a magene subbrand)

This one looks to be the magene C606 with blue buttons. Doesn't seem like there are other differences. I've had a bad experience with the c606 due to the shitty software on android but for that price I would still consider it

It looks to be identical with c506 not c606 on speccs. Still cheaper than c506.

I haven't, yet. A while ago I saw someone had those on their Chiner build. I did find a listing : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800205665429.html but I don't know if those are original? I already wasted money on fake EE brakes so now I am cautious lol.

Look legit to me, but there's always a risk that someone made another batch with downgraded materials and they'll suck. the fact that they are hard to find makes me think it's the real deal, with someone recently rediscovering them on the back shelf at their warehouse during a physical inventory.
They went for <$100 3-4 years ago so it wasn't as big of a gamble.

Have them in my cart...lets see what 11.11 brings. Speaking of fakes though, if anyone still wants to pull trigger on fake EE's this is the listing I found had the lowest price ($64). I paid $140 last year this time around -

At the moment only cheapest coupon are available and expire date is 18/11.
In some minigames on aliexpress app such as merger boss the credit will be available from 18/11 so it seems I can't use coupon and credit at the same time.
Do you think the best is coming for black friday at the end of november?

I updated my review of the bootleg White Industries R30 cranks a few pages back.  Tl;dr is don’t buy them, the pedal threading is reversed, making them totally useless as a component.

Hard to tell. It mostly comes down to how the sellers are lowering the base prices of their products. If they don't then vouchers/credits will be more important; if the base price will be discounted considerably, then that will have more effect. Only advice I can give is check the prices of the actual products you want to purchase during the sales periods and make your decision based on that.

That's just batshit crazy. I suppose there is no possibility that you confused L/R side cranks or that it actually does not matter b/c both are threaded the same direction? If that's the case it really shows that this manufacturer did just copy a concept without really understanding it. I saw that with a couple of Chinese/counterfeit suppliers before. Sorry for your loss

Did you get them? Wonder how they compare

[coffeebreak]

28mm GP5000 on DT swiss p1800 rims work fine on mine with clearance left, so I'm guessing you can do 30? That will be the limit though. They measure 28.5mm on the rim.

Thanks, it definitely looks promising!
my seatstay brake bridge on one frame was so low shimano brakes wouldn't clear a 30mm tire, but the fouriers did.
right now i'm running long-reach tektros and 650x42 slicks instead.
