Oh, I see, the ZRACE x MAGENE actually uses the MAGENE P505-S1103 version. I didn't think they use a different mounting on their own crankset. Weird choice ...

Good call TidyDinosaur to mention it again. Might have fooled someone (totally not me! ;) ).
Yeah, it was directed at that friend of yours  :)

Thanks! Why are you running those over the Magene PES crankset? That also features a 24mm spindle. Just the weight savings?
Just to be sure I will say it again. You can not use the PM that is on the base crank on any other crank.

Did anyone has info on what other brand Hyyge's seatpost is similar or identical to? I'm just curious because I'm trying to find a 3d printed radar seatpost mount... THx

I have been searching in the past because I would like a 0 setback post, but could not find any...

Maybe a few dabs of shoe-goo adhesive and then remove the screws once it’s set would hold the plate in place?
Yeah, or hot glue

They look very close to Goldix hubs, but I can not find a Goldix hub that's the same...

For my first bike (wasn't used to ordering stuff from AE yet), I went with a premium car vinyl. And also because I wanted a matt one, since my bike coating was matt as well: https://luxshield.de/Lackschutzfolie-Transparent-matt-15x200cm
Must say, even though it was a bit pricey (35€ for 15x200cm roll), it was well worth it. I covered my whole bike frame with it (~90%) - not just the downtube and chainstay. On the bike it is basically invisible from more than 30cm distance. And even if you look at it closely, you have to know it is there or just happen to look at an cut line/end of it. It's still in the same condition one year later, even after a many winter rides, lots of mud, and a few pressure washes. No corners started to peel either.


I also use this one. Works great en does not peel. I apply it wet first and after that use the heat of a hairdryer to convince the vinyl to get around curves and bends and help it adhere.

Not bike related, but i just bought a mini PC w/o RAM/SSD for 290 eur using the 60 11.11 discount, w a Ryzen 7 7840HS. My laptop has been driving me mad because of the noise it makes under load, and given its age, it feels under load a lot. I hate apple with a passion and i'm not in the US, so getting the mac mini m4 at 600$ is not an option for me, the cheapest i found it is 670 eur, and even then, there's all the apple non sense (I considered it assuming i'd run windows on it). 99% of the time, i have my laptop connected to a screen and mouse/keyboard, so i barely ever use it as a laptop, so i got a mini pc.
Compared to the local pricing i could find, and although i didn't trawl all of the internet, it looked like a good price. I'll source locally a bunch of ram and an SSD, and voila.

Point being: Aliexpress is a skill, at this point. I'm pleased with my 11.11 purchases, but it's a bit of an adventure to avoid leaving too much money on the table.

Yeah, and I also notice some items that I have bought on day 1 of the sale dropping in prices now... The Magene L508 radar was 110 USD (EU price) when I bought it and now it is only 96...

The article description of the KOCEVLO says 520g ;)

That's with all the hardware/spacers etc... I think.

Did you also account for the rim offset?

I got your point, probably it has to be addressed to the OP.
Anyways, my point remains the same - these are not the same handlebars as The One.

OK, I thought I was going mad maybe :)

It is indeed not 100% the same as the One.

This is not the same handlebar. Cable entries are different as well as clamping system.

I am talking about these three links that were posted:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyAKwSz
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eybz7kH
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJixcyp

14
but also significantly heavier than the others?  :o
385gr in 400x90mm... Why you say it is heavier???
99% sure these are all the same handlebars.

i don't have a stem because i have the merida team cockpit on my bike.

I would therefore also want to replace this with another complete cockpit.

I really like the “the one”. I found it from another seller on aliexpress under three different names.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EyAKwSz
https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eybz7kH
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJixcyp

According to the seller, they all come from the same factory as “the one” - just with the synchros logo or without the logo.
i have to say, the communication was very difficult. he answered in chinese and it was translated by aliexpress...

Or even cheaper here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006561735597.html
