Hi all!
Has anyone had any experience with this crankset?


https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008565942046.html
It seems fairly new on AliExpress and looks like a copy of the Garbaruk gravel cranks. I really like the look of the Garbaruk ones, and this one is seriously tempting since it costs only a quarter of the original.
But of course, the obvious question is: Is it safe?
Has anyone ever heard of relatively expensive cranks like these from China failing?
I´m using the Garbaruk GRX derailleur cage knock-off which i got from AliExpress. I installed it a few months ago and it works just fine.

Thanks to all of you!
For any future projects: is there a way to prevent this from happening?
I already used a guide (from AliExpress  ;D ) . The cut itself was very good and offcourse i already was quite careful.
Now i sure will do some cutting tests with the left over piece of the steerer tupe.

Hi to the community !
When cutting the steerer the last tiny bit cracked a bit, causing a splinter missing in the very outer layer of the carbon.
I just wanted to be sure that this shouldn't cause any trouble? I attached photos with my thumb next to it for scale.
Its also possible for me to cut another 5 mm, If this should be considered safer. Are there any tips to prevent this kind of cracking? Using (what kind of?) tape or something?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi!
Scrolling through Instagram i stumpled upon this bike. https://www.soulcycles.com.br/seeker?map=ft
Has anyone seen it from a chinese factory? It's a brazilian bike brand and i guess they dont produce their frames themselves.


Thank you for helping:)
