Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress? I'll add a few of my recommendations : West Biking Leather Bar Tape - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005810368018.html - Great strong bar tape, but ensure you soak in water prior to installing as they're a bit too stiff to wrap otherwise Deemount Magene/Garmin Radar rear light saddle mount - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005989328996.html - really nice bit of kit for mounting a radar light, holds well and clamps nicely on to round and oval saddle rails Fire Spider (The One) Integrated Bar & Stem - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004380752458.html - I'm a huge fan of these bars, they are sleek, stiff, and comfortable. Plus the wedge clamp makes for a much less concerning install (vs clamping carbon). I've had a pair in matte, and in gloss and the gloss is nice but the top cap is not painted and the gloss paint tends to chip a little around the top cap area. RONGYAOSPORTS Microfibre Leather Bar Tape - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002932694113.html - this stuff is great too, stretchy and wraps nicely, looks vintage too. Heppe Thru Axles - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003627114780.html - great quality and come in a range of colours. I'm a big fan. Mito MTB Pedals - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003171997479.html - big and chunky and a decent price too for a well made Alu pedal. UNO Stem (MTB/Gravel version) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004638826623.html - bit more robust than the lightweight offerings, low stack (30mm) too. Good if you're running a shorter stem and want something more substantial. November 02, 2023, 08:04:33 PM	1
