I don't think that any manufacture checks every wheel sold for impact resistance. Kore does show their wheel impact resistance testing - https://www.facebook.com/100017060653452/videos/kore-wheelset-road-testreal-performance-comes-from-real-ridingwe-tested-the-kore/2096896794244073/

I agree, you can't test every wheel for impact without subjecting it to an impact. Then I wouldn't want to buy a wheel that has already been impacted by a 200lb weight dropped on it.

I also agree that the photos show that the damage is due to impact with something. I don't think any manufacturer will warranty a rim due to impact. Some may offer crash discount, but many don't.

One thing I wonder but can’t really know if it works (as I don’t have eyes in this part of my body ) is, is there a way to take the light of and have it only flashing when cars are detected ?

I think you can set this in the app. in the Intelligent Function Configuration: Radar warning mode. If you toggle this to "on" and have the Light Mode set to Off it should only blink when it detects a vehicle. But I can't verify as I haven't figured out a way to follow myself on a ride to see.

Possible to post photos of what you got from them and let us know how it fits?

I always felt the minimums and cost were prohibitive for a really small group/team/shop order.

How much damage does the 3D printed surface do to bib shorts? Is it a cheese grater?

My bibs don't seem to be affected by the 3d printing.

But the 3d printing on mine is beginning to break down after almost 2 years of use. Not to the point of replacement yet. only noticeable when I press my thumb on it – then I can tell where I must have the most pressure on the saddle. Still very comfy. Eventually I'll replace it with the EVA version (which I already use on my off-road bikes).

Any experience with this kore saddle?

The last one in the listing "Color: New Saddle 3" looks like a rebadged Ryet https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807350692873.html for $20 more.

I have the Ryet version on 2 MTBs and a 3D printed version of the same saddle on my road bike. after almost 2 years riding multiple rides per week on the road bike, the 3D printing seems to be breaking down a little. Maybe not enough for me to replace it yet, but maybe next season I will (with the EVA version).

I got this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809477485581.html

Haven't needed it out on the road or trail yet, but in my testing at home it works well. The psi reading seems accurate against my floor pump. I've only used it with the little hose attachment (vs directly on the valve) as I have plastic valve TPU tubes on my road bike. But it's also easier to use with the hose.

I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Don't want to spend hundreds on some brand name massager, but don't want some garbage that isn't very good either.

Thanks in advance.

I've been looking at those cleats! Can you share more about how they feel different? Is the float less smooth? Do they clip in less reliably? I would love to save the money, but not sure how much I'd be losing out on.

I installed only one on the left shoe and kept the Wahoo on my right shoe. So I can compare and feel the difference between my left and right foot. I also have another pair of shoes that have Wahoo cleats.

The AliEx cleats clip in fine. I did need to fiddle with the rotation adjustment screws more (which are hex screws instead of phillips, which is better in my opinion), and I feel more "spring back" than I do with the Wahoo cleats. Unclipping to me feels more "mushy?" My right foot and my other shoes feel "crisper" in that they rotate free to the point that the spring engages and then releases. The AliEx one feels like I feel the spring engage and from there to when it releases is more vague. Not sure how else to describe it.

And really while it's noticable to me, it doesn't affect anything at all. I can get in and out just as easily.
