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
Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Received my frame. Six weeks since ordering to UK Size 52. 865G frame, 425G uncut fork in translucent blue. Dark until the light hits it. This is a mist of blue on a raw frame with glossy finish Paint looks well done, no missing spots or anything. There are a couple of tiny dimples on the carbon here and there, as if no fillers have been applied. It seems only cosmetic and I’m not too worried. You’ll get what you pay for, some are lucky some are not. Apart from that, fork and all races look clean and smooth BB with no overspray and threads all clean and good. Anyway,I did chased and slightly faced Brake mounts as expected needed facing. All done, with before and after pics Now waiting for a set of Zen wheels, carbon cranks from DFS and Ultegra groupset at some point. No hurry during winter I can provisionally say the Hylix 15 to 0 offset fits. Only 0.20mm narrower that the Tan Tan post. I tested it with a set of wheels, no cranks and bouncing up and down full force without carbon paste Fingers crossed it works since the inline post will help achieving the perfect fit November 12, 2025, 09:09:34 AM	1
Re: Seraph Bikes Superlight 836g X68 - Alternative to SL8 Fakes? Anyone looking at 0 offset seatposts for SL8, I can confirm that the one I bought from AE fits X68, slightly looser than the seraph post but torqued up and it does not slip. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010144462211.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.29.73631802VYJCfD&tblci=GiCC4m7NjPqiKcqZte9zc6nQwymmLm1_jCpQPCF6yretFSCnqXUogey87_rbk6idATC062M July 14, 2026, 02:17:31 AM	1
