I've seen 860€ for the full groupset on bike24

I waited 3 months for this sale to buy a bunch of clothing and comes the sale absolutely everything I wanted is out of stock for my size only. I hate being the target of conspiracies

It's time I stop riding in short sleeve everything in wet 8°c
Does anyone have this? https://aliexpress.com/item/1005007593454835.html

@Serge about the hiserwa windbreaker: Is it any thick or just a thin windbreaker? I see you have a size M but you're about my size, is this the right size? I usually prefer asian size L for jerseys
And do you still use the "thermic" spexcel jersey or is it a complete spongy waste of money even under 5°c?

Geoid GPS (which from what I understand is a magene subbrand)

This one looks to be the magene C606 with blue buttons. Doesn't seem like there are other differences. I've had a bad experience with the c606 due to the shitty software on android but for that price I would still consider it

A room full of pasta because buying cheap crap from aliexpress is no longer viable?
No i was drawing an unrelated comparison. You should have spare pasta and TP for years because prices can only rise and it won't perish anyway. Apply same logic for bike parts you are certain you will eventually need like chains, cables etc

I would out of principle. If it's a standard you know won't be replaced anytime soon, I'd stock up on tubes, mech hangers, cables, cleats, maybe chains... Not against trump in particular, but IMO there will be a point where either aliexpress falls off or gets banned/taxed so bad it's not worth it anymore (I think it already happened in brazil and it will happen in the west eventually)
Same with non perishable pantry if you ask me. If you have the space, it's a nobrainer to havea room full of pasta/toilet paper/other necessities. If it can't go bad, no reason not to stock it

If I pay, I'm getting something for free? That's awesome

Rhinowalk has a bunch of new-ish bags that all look quality. A year ago there wasn't a single top tube screw mount bag and now there are at least 4 models on ali that all look better than the cervelo bag I had to get, for cheap

Since indievelo is dead (to me) is there any other platform other than mywhoosh for free?

If you're climbing out of the saddle all the time, i find i can agree with almost any BIB.
My spexcel bibs are comfortable UNTIL you stand up. Then it folds in half and goes straight into your crack

Please keep us updated on the gloves. I have gripgrabs that cost a fortune from a time I had not found the aliexpress light and it's like they don't even help with warmth

Definitely looks "special". Maybe a way to avoid any patent issues?
Looks more like the lockring is longer to fit more cogs. The HG lockring patent long expired

What's up with that? Anyone heard of link-s computers? I can't find anything more about it (but I got tricked into clicking bdsm gear on ebay  >:( )
Bezel looks awful but on paper, touchscreen with color maps (that look excellent), GLONASS, notifications and workout support for that price is insane.
I'd gamble but I'm still fighting tradeinn's garbage support to get the shitty magene c606 refunded
