fake G8 insoles

i havent tried authentic g8 insoles but these are cheap as chips and work well for me. ive been using them for over a year

The real ones cost over $100 iirc

I have these. Two pairs which I've been using for >2yrs
they're really good for the price and solved my issues with shoes, I definitely needed arch support and the 'common' insoles I've tried didn't work. Found these on Ali, bought one and another after around 3 months to have as spare (they actually went out of stock for a year or so, came back some months ago)

my experience is that they work really well, but the plastic on the arches is not the best, it starts to soften after some time. So like I started with the no.3 arch but it turned to a 2 effectively, so I had to change to a 4 to keep the support as it should.
Also the glue between the plastic part below and the foam is not good, if you get any water in it'll detach. But easily solved just glued back together

other than that, is really nice, and for sure worth the price. A fraction of the real one, but of reasonable quality, and the customization is worth it.

I am interested in trying these insoles but unable to find any on Ali, can either of you show me an option or let me know what to search for.
Thanks!

I have this.  The light isn't really that powerful or worth it if that's what you're looking at it for.  If you have a Garmin with USB-C, though, it's a great battery extender (and a zillion times cheaper than the Garmin one).  I have an older one with micro-USB and have used it with a converter - not quite as elegant, but still not a bad item if you do long rides.

Thanks for feedback. Do you know if the mounts supplied are compatible with Wahoo computers?

Has anyone tried this RockBros bike light? It also works as a phone charger.



Hey Jonathan, wondering if you ended up getting this or something else and how you like it.
Thanks.

Quick visual comparison between the Ryet Aircode 3D printed saddle and the Goldix 3D printed saddle that's available from like $17-25 USD during sales. The Goldix saddle seems to be well built, with a stiff carbon shell and thick rails. The 3D mesh also has a bit more cushion, while the bottom edges of the carbon seem to be more rounded. There's also a 1cm lip that protrudes from the back end of the saddle to give a bit more length.

The two saddles seems similar. I'll report back on the actual ride quality once I put a few km/mi on it.

UPDATE: I just took this saddle for a ride and it felt great! No discomfort, plenty of cushion, stayed cool in the California sunshine and minimal friction when adjusting position. Unfortunately it seems the price has jumped up from it's earlier low price!

Is this the store you bought the saddle from?
