These two rims popped up for me on ali and really tempted to replace my noname carbon rims with these just for the look factor. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012833482965.html

Therefore, why are you gouging the splines on the hub?

I trusted the bike shop to install and swap the cassette and it became gouged out. Now i do it myself and nothing happened so far.

Imho it’s just a flex. I guess the cassette won’t eat into the freehub, as Ti is hard af. That’s it. Perhaps it will more likely fuck up the cassette spider haha.

Correct. I'm on an older titanium freehub body as the big ass 51-10 cassette gouged out the stock and alu replacements freehubs body and i couldn't be bothered to file it down. IMO its a piece of mind for 30-40€ during sales.

Picked up this knock-off Clik Valve kit and it seems quite decent. I primarily wanted another pump adapter, and the included one works quite well. I haven't tried the valves yet, but they look identical to my original Schwalbe branded Clik Valves... I'll keep them as my back ups in my saddle bag.

Mine squeak real bad with ceramic pads (Cooma Pink) - any hints how to get rid of it?

Rough up the rotor surface with sand paper and check the pads for contamination.

I don't think you can install it on shimano cages, only ltwoo or SRAM. If you need an OSPW you can get the ryet one https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008456209648.html

People already did it with both sram and shimano derailers. Here are the derailers people installed it on from ali reviews: GRX 820, eagle, 10 speed ultegra, 12 speed ultegra 8150, R7000-SS, Capelo, (105, tiagara, claris) short cage and M6100.

Has anyone installed this on a 12spd 105 or Ultegra cages? Is it simple plug and play and were modifications required?

From the limited reviews it have basically ZERO grease/oil applied to the ceramic bearing. Any grime will destroy the weak ceramic bearing in a very short timeframe.

Slight update: Put the rotor on a belt sander to rough up the surface and now the ceramic pads grip into it like the old rotor.

Last year i could find multiple listings for these clone bars but now only the worse carbon version remained. The main difference that it was aluminium, length started from 420mm instead of 560mm and 25.4mm stem option. Few videos remained but all of the listings shows 404. I still don't trust carbon handlebars to handle grocery bags and other stuff hanged off them.
