Component Deals & Selection / Re: Chinese cycling clothes
« on: February 28, 2025, 01:26:41 PM »
I bought my first couple gear from Aliexpress, I'm really pleased with what I have so far. I'll definitely be trying out more cycling clothes soon, as I update my wardrobe. I normally wear Asian S or EU XS.
RISESBIK Men's Cycling Vest

As accordingly, I ordered XS (the size chart is in EU). It fits me perfectly, however the only thing I wish is that it had back pockets. I'd rate it 4/5 though for value & quality.
Shimano Cleat Covers

I can't say if these are genuine or not, but I don't really mind if they're fakes. They fit on my SPD-SL cleats, they protect them as accordingly and they'll make expensive cleats last longer. 5/5 - it's cheap, you can store it in your back pocket and you can walk without damaging your cleats while finding it easier to walk, because it's made out of a rubbery hard material.
Cycling Socks (from GKRQ Official Store)

Phenomenal value. I was surprised at the quality of these - these easily compare to my Rapha & Assos socks. 5/5, I paid $20 CAD for the Raphas (on sale) while I paid a little under $4 CAD for these. I'll be kitting my wardrobe out with these!
I have a couple more clothing on the way (HISERWA Base Layer and HISERWA Leg Warmers). I'll update this post accordingly very soon, I was just excited to share my findings lol.
Edit: The two items arrived today. Customs inspected it and it was stuck for almost a week, but I’ll be taking it for a spin soon. First impressions though are not bad. The HISERWA base layer is really elastic (yes, I know how redundant that term is in this context). Leg warmers are nice as well.
