Did anyone buy the CRUZBIKE carbon crank?
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eynmuve

3-bolt direct mount, relatively cheap, 24mm titanium spindle, no branding, only 320g. Any red flags I am missing? I would be buying for a road bike -- is 93mm shaft length ok?

Same spindle length as Lexon and others. Will likely require a couple small spacers and have a slightly wider q but works.

Since I'm using a carbon fiber computer mount, it seems to absorb shock quite well. Also I find I can loop the nylon cords from my bar bag to give it slightly more stability. My handle bars have just enough space to add the 2 clamps, but it'll interfere with my phone mount, so I opted for the 1 clamp mount under the computer.

I'm currently using Serfas cork bar tape on all my bikes (bought from US Amazon). This bar tape has excellent elasticity, durability and it's easy to clean with a cloth and alcohol spray. The backing has non-residual adhesive that's easy to remove using a blowdryer or heat gun. I've transferred the bar tape several times over from different handlebars and they still look like-new.

Also I'm using an Enlee bar bag (can be found on AliExpress). The bag casing holds it shape even when empty and the straps are gummy on one side so they don't slip. I use this bag on both my gravel bikes.

Have you noticed that after a while, the light loses power on one of the modes at full brightness? It comes back on when you "restart" the light, and then loses power again after a while. It still shines quite brightly, but not as brightly as it did at first.

You'd get more credibility and same characteristics from Big Rock, altough slightly more expensive. Why risk such an important bike part?

Yes, I had the same thought process, but now it is too late as I have already ordered the crankset. I really hope it is going to be ok, especially as i decided for it over BigRock (mainly for aesthetic reasons though).

I would say that is tipical for all front bike lights. The more powerfull, the more you notice the differance.
All lights decrease lumens after couple of minutes when on full mode. Probably because od heat. Some more, some less.

No, I haven't noticed that issue on my unit. I don't leave it on full brightness often, mainly because it drains the battery much faster. So far it seems to hold brightness on all settings and I find the power time indicator to be quite useful.

Anyone found any good helmet lights for night time mtb riding?

The light bars are great for 10% of the cost of outbound stuff, shame its so hard to find a decent helmet companion for looking around corners.

I've used two sets of the bucklos pedals you linked. Have a few thousand miles on them and they've been great. No issues.

I ordered the Cruz carbon ti axle crankset. I'm all for bang-for-buck AliEx bike gear with a little risk involved! I'm very good at crashing anyways! 

I'll report back once I receive it.

These types of tools have been on ali for a while. What I'm waiting for are brake mount facing tools.
