for a thin long sleeve, I like this SPEXCEL one. I got the purple in L for a tight aero fit (186 cm, 80 kg). The arms are long enough. Could have also gone with the XL.

Just ordered purple in XL (185,85) and hope it fits how I like it.

Nice, but no pockets. I like this one  https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-cheji-aero-suit.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.auto_suggest.3.1071SFZHSFZHH7 but want it in something other than black...

For sure it has pockets.

I didn't even catch most of these for a while. I promise it looks good from a distance lol
Most chinese stuff is plagued with this garbage, but this one has such a perfect cut it will always be top of the pile regardless

I've been on the western-brand sale hunt for the past weeks, and it's not just the Chinese brands honestly.

Alé - Past present future

And obviously PNS who I guess is the influence for random cool words and phrases.

Even Assos does a random poem on the back, besides just trying to copy MAAP.

Santini/Castelli/Rapha and some others are keeping it real with boring ass jerseys.

What're favourites here when it comes to china bib shorts?

I was elsewhere hearing about Rion and YKYWBike - is that also getting praise here or rather something else?

Can't speak for them all but I have YKYW with EI-pad which has a good pad but I don't love the lycra. I think they're bought in 2024 though so might be better now. Also I like the Cheji red pad (their cheap one) but I only have winter bibs from them so can't speak on their lycra for summer bibs either. Similar with a pair of Darevie seamless, the chamois is quite good but thin lycra.

Honestly I could live without premium bibs chamois-wise, but my "cheap" Assos have lycra a thousand times better than any Aliexpress-bibs I've ever had.

I've built up a new bike this year, using a Magene Teo crank & P515. I'm trying to decide if the power readings are inflated however. My previous bike was a left side only 4iiii power meter, and showed what I would expect for my output during any given situation. The Magene though seems to be quite a bit higher (20-50% depending). I'd love to think it's me being stronger, but I'm def not

Is there a calibration or other tuning I should look into?

Without comparing to a trainer or a friends power pedals, it's really hard to say. My P515 is accurate (+/- 1% with both my old Stages left side and with my Kickr, so I'd say it's good).

looks good but only usable on small frames

How do you know? Just by eyeballing. I know nothing about fitting a frame bag to a specifik frame size.

What chainring offset are you using and do you know the chainline for your setup?

No offset on the ring and the chainline is GRX 1by (whatever that is, I don’t remember)

I recommend some jerseys; I even use some of them personally in competitions.

YKYWBIKE, excellent material, and I love the v-neck aesthetic https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008631843968.html
YKYW, more aerodynamic sleeves and very lightweight https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009581218117.html
SPEXCEL, for me the revolutionary brand, very beautiful aesthetically and super summery https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009674596154.html

Ah shit I forgot the link. The jersey is the same as your first one. Really solid but just too long.

This YKYW is "race short". 186cm 80kg and I have the Asian XL.

Might get the black. White see through is just too much for me.
