One of the biggest sales (typically). What did you get? What things had prices increased over the last few weeks, so it isn't really saving anything with the "sale" price?
-
If Rakuten is doing 30% cash back, I might grab a wheelset or some groupset components.
-
Gius, It is worth to buy now or wait a few days until the last of the month? I was thinking to get a radar.

So, I’ve had my eye on a couple of products for a few weeks now, and I think I’ll finally grab them in the next few days.

I know not everyone here uses Taobao but I bought a set of these chainrings for under $60usd last night! But with coupons maybe AE will come out to about the same.
-

When I selevt PayPal as payment option, I get the further discount

I ordered a bunch of Carbon fiber fabrics, panels and tubing for my next ultralight rear bicycle rack prototypes and experiments.
Plus some small bicycle related hardware, and hydraulic hose and some brake fittings.
I am going to try to hold out on placing any large orders hoping that the latest 35% US Tariffs are found to be illegal by the end of the year.

FINALLY bought a rear disc wheel from Acesprint. With coupons, coins and PayPal it came to $682 AUD which is obscenely cheap.
Acesprint has a good reputation so I'm pretty confident

As I can't find Assos Cento Evo bibs anywhere anymore ordered some Darevie bibs I hope they're decent. More and more stuff "I'll never buy from China" I end up buying there.

I recently ordered YKYWBIKE bibs and I am very impressed with what you get for the price.
Regarding Assos, i have Mille GT and Equipe R bibs and those are the purchases that i regret the most. They dont work well for me, i get saddle sores and those are the only pairs of bibs that forced me to use chamois cream.
So now I only use them for 1hr indoor rides ;D

Darvie winter jacket.
Deore XT di2 upgrade kit, Seller stated it was SGS type. 434 usd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010272148665.html
Deore XT M8220 brakes. 217 usd, crazy cheap. However they were cancelled by seller, because they had no stock :'( They still have them listed for some reason.

Yeah I got the Mille GTS to replace the Cento but the padding is almost on your back designed for upright position and it gave me saddle sores. I had some Equipe model too the padding was too thin for me.

Magene P715 pedals down to £296.31 with codes and coins. Hopefully I'll avoid duties like usual with AliExpress.

Thanks. Saw that specific product earlier. Unfortunatelly not shippable to Slovenia (EU). One other is. But is over 400eur + 60eur shipping.

Did you check for shipping to other euro countries? Some seller that may ship to Germany or France may be willing to ship to Slovenia after you talk to them.

There was 18xxx coupons available, it was the same thing a couple of weeks ago and I missed it. Would have paid the R200 home trainer 180 rather than 200…

Continental Grand Prix tubed 30c tires - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009522294088.html
Trying these out. Should be the same tire compound as GP5000 tires.
Can you take a screenshot of the insoles? AliExpress won’t pull it up since it’s not available in the US apparently.

The link doesn't work for me either but I found these in the search I'm not sure if they're the same

I'm VERY curious about those tires - let us know how they hold up. I need to replace my GP5000s at some point and damn, are they expensive.

Magene TEO P515 with chainrings £407GBP. Had my eye on them for a while, then got a £110GBP off a £600GBP+ order (I had to add a few extras to the basket which I needed anyway).

Wow, that's quite cheap for 3D!

The price of GP5000s has gotten so absurd.

Also curious. They seem just too cheap :)

would be nice from you to keep us up to date. For Germay our customs would roughly charge about 220€ incl. DHL who pay the taxes in advance
-
I've been using the Conti Grand Prix and have put about 2,000km on them. I'm using them with tubes and was initially worried about puncture protection since it uses 3 ply vs 4ply with tubeless but so far is been good.
Obviously heavier than gp5000's and I notice the difference but can't complain as it costs a fraction of the price. This is much better than the ultra and grand sport.
You can pick these up for US$12 delivered on the coins page.
-
The regular Grand Prix are great, I've had them stock on my bike. Thinking about upgrading to tubeless and 50 usd per pair seems much better than 50 for one GP5000. I've heard that rolling resistance is a bit better on the 5000s but can't lose what I don't have right?

will do,i have them delivered to belgium
-
Has anyone come across some cheap tires in the 35-38c range on Aliexpress? Those Grand Prix look pretty great but unfortunately only in smaller sizes.
-
AE has some good deals on GoodYear Eagle F1 tires, around ~$30usd a pop. I'm happy with their performance so far, they're the "high-end" 120tpi class tires with various sizes. Both clincher and tubeless.
-
The Conti GP rated 60tpi, they ride like 60tpi tires, good for training, casual riding.
GP5000 rated 120tpi, feel supple and racy.
my goal is to shop for 120tpi tires for 60tpi prices.
-
Another thermal set of what I already own. Inbike bibs and cheap rsantce jersey, plus 2 ultegra chains from anrancee. curious if they are genuine

Goodyear Eagle F1 do seem like a good competitor at 120tpi and around $70 for 700x32 tubeless on Ali.

105 Di2 w/ 11-36 cassette was 558 and 32 euro taxes via DHL. Seller declared at 80 usd.
Saved around 150 euros in comparison to EU online retailers. Hope nothing breaks down, because the savings are pretty nominal.

There is some discussion on the various forums about csc in general.

I have been using a similar pair from Ali for little over a year and they have been great.
I would like to get another. but when I had bought one a year ago they had individual sizes, but now it's either a wide range or OOS.

same, used them all this year and they've been terrific. Having never tried actual G8 insoles, I can't really compare.

Could you post a link to what you are using? Maybe just what I got was a shitty copy? Because honestly, what I had was absolute crap. Think flimsy and cheap plastic inserts that didnt even clip into the insoles properly.
Are these the ones? If so, I have no idea how you guys can recommend this.

Christmas arrived early. This is the start of a winter experiment for an aging cyclist who wants to keep up with his other old riding buddies that are migrating to e-bikes.

insoles.... I got the same ones just from a different shop. But what I got was absolute garbage. I have since resorted to proper cabon insoles that actually work for me from Solestar.
Received it. Those look real good and all the specs, weight etc. check out. I am yet to install them as I want to wait to transfer the group from my colnago to another bike and install these with Ultegra bought over 11:11 thats yet to come. Weight savings arent much over Ultegra cranks TBS but looks different and will pair nicely with PassQuest rings.

Received these today in the XDR/45MM deep variety. 1430 grams so close to claimed. Included extra spokes and tubeless tape. Weight is without tape.
Spin true and the hubs have some grease in them so off to a good start.
Will try to update once I have some mileage on them and their isnt 10 inches of snow on the ground.

I also received mine last week: 1370g for the 40mm/XDR version, but they are actually 45mm deep. Every other measurement is spot on. Very impressed.
If they ride well and stay true for a couple of rides, I might order another set, because they are still unbeatable cheap even without black friday / 11.11 discounts.
