Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!

Anyone try these lights? I want something brighter than 1200 lumens for nighttime rides. They also come with a front mount, so I'm leaning towards this one.

Ali has what i think are grey market shimano brakes for pretty good prices. MT420 sets around $130nzd and MT520 calipers are $115nzd to me. Haven't seen any mt520 sets but the levers are available for around $100nzd.

Where are you getting your prices?

I agree that they are likely grey market - intended to be assembled on complete bikes.

The levers/calipers that come separately are pre-bled - a barb in the lever pierces the sealed hose,  you can just plug and play if the length is right.

My prices were based on my order history, buying in winter here and with coupon sales typically. I usually just find a new store each time, usually the prices have changed by the time I order again, that so that what was the cheapest option is no longer.

These were 85$ cad shipped with a coupon when I bought them a month or so ago. 100$ cad now.

hello! someone has experiences with Santic shoes? I'm looking for a spd compatible model with their atop closure system; what about size? I'm EU42 usually.
thanks

Same sizing as Shimano or Northwave shoes.
That's my experience, the Santic store does measure the inner sole length and width for you if you ask them.
Comparison to your current shoes should be the safest way to get the size right.

I use a very similar light from "Offbondage" on my gravel bike that works fantastically well.  extremely bright, sturdy, and easy to take on & off the bike.

I ordered a light. I wanted something extremely bright for times I might be out in the desert or camping. I'll report back when it arrives.

Anyone come across an offset mount for bottle cages to run with frame bags?
Something like this: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-components/bike-frame-parts/trek-adjustable-multi-mount-offsetting-water-bottle-cage/p/62368/

Would these work?

Could potentially work although I worry that my legs may hit the bottles?

I guess to clarify, I am more looking for something that would shift the cages down rather than off to the side!

Edit: Just found in a related posting off that link! Thanks!

I think its a horrible idea. Your legs will for sure be hitting that. Better to get a bladder bag or mount bottles to front fork.

Balugoe has some new components! As usual, I've been happy with a lot of their components. They're up there with the likes of Elita One when it comes to carbon bars, stems, etc.

I've been looking at that one for a while now. The clamp design sucks, but the post could actually provide some give. Anybody know of a 400 mm version?

The seatpost is a copy of some, I’ve seen someone else use a similar design in real life. Didn’t realize that the copy was new, but might be a good replacement for the Ergon/canyon suspension seatpost.
