Anyone have experience with these? https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007370770955.html

I saw them on sale recently, the price and review seems great but can you trust during hard descend?

+1 can definitely recommend these pads. Braking feels the same as the Shimano L05A-RF, after 100 miles of use no noticeable pad wear to indicate it wears out quicker than my shimano pads. I'm using these on the rear and the L05a on the fronts.

Can someone provide an update on the screen brightness, early reviews suggest it could be an issue and wondering if it got fixed by a software update or indeed if the visiblity of the display has been no issue at all?

I cant decide between the binavi air vs bryton 650. I currently use a bryton 420 (adequate for 90% of my riding, everything works well between the app and the device). Looking to upgrade to a device with maps and route based climbpro functionality, the added offline routing of the binavi and better touchscreen is worth the extra cost to me if the display is of good enough quality and its easy to upload gpx files to the device.

thanks

I bought cycling bibs from Rion. Done 500 miles so far and still comfortable, really nice pad and the bib is good quality. Specifically like these as the inseam length is 2cm longer than other bibs and I like th extra thigh coverage.
