Hey, I'm putting together a gravel bike on a tight budget and need a few things: shorts and jerseys, SPD shoes, a saddle (my old one snapped), bar tape and a couple of bags.
I'm 187 cm and 77 kg so sizing is always a pain. Anyone ordered from China (AliExpress, Temu, whatever) and been happy with the quality? Which brands or shops would you trust, and which ones should I stay away from?
Also looking for an indoor trainer for winter. I mostly want power numbers to train, nothing fancy. Is a used smart trainer worth it, or is there something cheap that works fine?
Thanks! ;) :)
For trainer look at cycplus, thinkrider and geoid, 3 proven budget options
For clothing, there is a thread just below dedicated to that. Personally I use spexcel and darevie
