Component Deals & Selection / Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds! - good deals, interesting stuff, new products etc!
« on: July 04, 2026, 09:39:42 AM »
I'm looking for a way to carry bikes with my VW Eos and the suction cup type racks are starting to look interesting. I now found this one which also seems super cheap: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ7ani2. I do have a couple of questions, though:

1. Does anyone have personal experience using a rack like this? What has it been like?
2. Any differences between brands (e.g. ROCKBROS vs. West Biking) or do they all come from the same factory?
3. Is it better to have one two bike rack or two one bike racks?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out!

Any good recommendations for leg warmers? I'm looking for something to wear when it's too hot for thermal bib tights but not warm enough for bib shorts on their own. So I'd say something between 10-15°C. It seems that there are loads of options ranging from around 6 € to over 20 €. Is there any real difference between cheap and more expensive options? Firm grip ath the top to prevent them from slippung down tje leg is a must, the less visible branding the better and some level of windproofing is a plus mut not mandatory. Thanks for your input!

This is perhaps an odd question but has anyone found excessive wear on their bib shorts caused by a 3D printed saddle? I'm kind of interested in trying one out but not too keen on doing it at the expense of my bib shorts.
