Same here. Started buying these when the originals were out-of-stock practically everywhere in Europe. No difference whatsoever in my eyes.

It still is, no stock in europe. Also for replacement heads. Original is like €55 and on Ali theyre €28. Good to hear, ill give them a go

Worked well for me so far. Fixed all my punctures (not many, but still).

Which one did u get? Have a link? Have u compared it to original?

Anyone have experience with the aliexpress version of the dynaplug? Half price of the official one

Can recommend topeak elementa xs, fits plenty and very minimalistisch. Been getting quite alot of questions about it.

I've had these for over a year https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005007073219603.html I've already worn them a bunch of times and even bought a couple more just in case.

Even though they say 45 as the size, they're actually one size (I also have 30cm feet). I usually wear 46 or 47.

Agree, I have the same. All the socks stretch good!

You guys used the left piece I assume? I read some posts about not using the alu piece that you also get with the TideAce bars.

Bars feel pretty solid, this new Lexon bars.

This is how all integrated bars work, unless you have a D shaped steerer tube and a very specific set of bars/stem (e.g. Factor, Colnago, Winspace). The hoses will come out in front of the steerer tube, routed through the headset spacers, and will be completely hidden.

Yeah I have a Factor Ostro VAM this is why I was wondering. Ill make it work

So why you should not be able to route the cables internal?

Well my bars dont have holes on the inside, also not on the sleeve reducer. They come out in front of it. Maybe they work, have to check

Lol. "The giveaway will be supervised by the forum moderators to ensure fairness and transparency".
If you look at the messages posted by AFE (click on "Members" next to "my messages" to find him), most of his messages on the forum are about Tideace.
So let's say the concept of fairness used here in the giveaway is rather different from what i assumed a random giveaway meant. And given the number of people who entered the giveaway, i'm going to assume people share my assumption, namely that this was meant to be a largely random pick, if not fully random.
AFE's posting pattern ties him to Tideace, which makes him not only an outlier, but likely the only member on the forum with this bias. And so, he was chosen.
Now, is that fair and transparent?

U think it's rigged?

Alright ordered Race king 2.2 for front and 2.0 for rear with FD. Let's see.

I also got my Lexon unox bar in, seems nice. Just wish I could fully route the cables internal, but it is what it is. My bars came with purple stem bolts, gotta replace those.

Also you gus said something about plastic and metal compression, which one is the plastic one?

P505. Used a 1mm spacer. To check for rub I marked the frame with a felt pen, tightened up the cranks and gave a few turns under load. Then I made sure none of the marker was rubbed off by the crank.

Ended up going with THUNDER BURT 2.1. Gave me a bit more clearance. This is with 25mm internal width rims.

Got pictures of the clearance with TB 2.1 on fd?

Built it up last night.
-105 DI2
-Magene PES PM
-2.2 Racekings. Will have to replace the rear, clearance is too tight
-52cm frame

What did you swap the rear to? With a FD max maybe 48 or 50mm?

Does anyone have a bar/cockpit on there for aero bars? I kinda want them for longer rides. Something like this : https://blackinc.cc/en-de/products/integrated-aero-barstem-with-extensions , you can take the exentions off and ride like a normal bar. But then ofcourse for cheaper! Prefer with integrated cockpit!

I'm 170 with 79 inseam and same saddle height. Went for 49 and have a 100 mm bar. I run the only 2 spacer that are required to run the bar (15mm).

Are those also lexon bars?

The tideace bars also seems kinda weird, I have 100mm length. The total length from front to back is like 14cm. My blackinc bars are 110mm length and measure total 17.7cm. Can anyone measure the lexon bars front to back of the stem for me? Ill just get one of those

Hmm headset keeps some play with the tideace bar. Also want a longer stem so I can solve both problems.

Lexon is on the shortlist, really good price and loads of sizes. Does anyone have pictures of this 1mm gap at the headtube? Any negatives on lexon bars?
